R. Moehringer's 2005 memoir "The Tender Bar: A Memoir" in which a bright 11-year-old boy (Daniel Ranieri), who is estranged from his deadbeat, alcoholic father (Max Martini), moves with his hardworking, divorced mother (Lily Rabe) to live with his supportive grandparents (Christopher Lloyd and Sondra James) and well-read, mentoring uncle (Ben Affleck) in a rundown house in Long Island in 1973 and gets an eye-opening, down-and-dirty education hanging out at his uncle's Dickens bar with its eclectic group of barflies (Max Casella, Michael Braun, Christian Cibotti, et al.) while aspiring to be a writer and attending Yale as an adult (Tye Sheridan).
