Amazon has unveiled the official trailer for the drama The Tender Bar [TNDRB] based on the memoir of Pulitzer Prize winning author J.R. Moehringer. Ben Affleck [BAFFL] and Tye Sheridan [TSHER] star in the film directed by George Clooney [GCLOO]. The Tender Bar opens in theaters on December 17th before hitting Prime Video on January 17th.
The Tender Bar tells the story of J.R. (Sheridan), a fatherless boy growing up in the glow of a bar where the bartender, his Uncle Charlie (Affleck), is the sharpest and most colorful of an assortment of quirky and demonstrative father figures. As the boy’s determined mother (Rabe) struggles to provide her son with opportunities denied to her — and leave the dilapidated home of her outrageous if begrudgingly supportive father (Christopher Lloyd) — J.R. begins to gamely, if not always gracefully, pursue his romantic and professional dreams — with one foot persistently placed in Uncle Charlie’s bar.
