Thankfully, "Labor Day" isn't one of those ensemble pieces with Ashton Kutcher and a lot of meet-cutes, although it does take place over a holiday weekend. Jason Reitman's newest movie, which is based on the novel by Joyce Maynard, is the story of a man on the lam and the mother and son who give him shelter. And pie. Delicious peach pie!At first Adele (Kate Winslet) and Henry (Gattlin Griffith) are scared of the looming Frank (Josh Brolin), a convicted murderer who manages to escape from the hospital after a routine appendectomy. In return for their forced hospitality, Frank fixes things around the house, cooks for them, and even helps Henry work on his pitch. In just a short amount of time, Adele, who is divorced, depressed, and seemingly agoraphobic, falls for the escaped convict. Frank's escape has their whole small town on edge, and it's only a matter of time before he's discovered.
In this clip, Adele tells Henry about a pretty wild plan she and Frank have hatched for their future together. Will it work? And what about Henry?
"Labor Day" opens January 31, 2014.
