Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile promoting this movie in an interview on the National Public Radio program 'Fresh Air', John Krasinski recalled that while he was casting the roles, Richard Jenkins wrote him an email that said, "Love the script. If you get Margo Martindale, I'll do it." Krasinski responded to Jenkins as though that was a joke, but Jenkins replied, "oh, I'm not kidding." "So I got Richard Jenkins. So as soon as Margo signed on Richard came with her, which is pretty phenomenal."
- GoofsEarly in the film, John is shown finishing a cigarette while leaning on a taxi. During the shot, green highways signs behind him indicate I-70 going west to Cincinnati and east to Cleveland. In fact, I-70 does not go to either of those Ohio cities. The film was shot in Mississippi and it appears the erroneous signs were added in post-production.

Featured review
"The Hollars" is one of those movies that has a mixture of laughs, drama, and sorrow and sadness still it entertains with love and memories showing that life always is a change with the new. John(John Krasinski)is a man who returns to his small Ohio town to visit his dying mother Sally Hollar(the wonderful Margo Martindale)who's very ill with a terminal case of brain cancer. By her side is her loving husband of many years Don(Richard Jenkins)and it's a tailspin for John he's got a lot on his plate including a pregnant wife in Rebecca(Anna Kendrick)and he meets an old flame of his while in town and she's still interested even though married too, and John doesn't want to move back! Clearly this film is clearly a test of love and fate it shows that with time life and fate changes it's all about new starts despite the sorrow and loss of a loved one still memories of love will always be present. Overall "The Hollars" is one touching emotional drama of love and change it's one film to sure see.
