Grady gets the chancellor (Frances McDormand) pregnant—whose husband (Richard Thomas) is Grady's boss. Grady's agent is hounding him, and his wife has left him. Meanwhile, Grady and a student (Tobey Maguire) embark on a road trip in search of a Marilyn Monroe artifact. Good acting, directing, and story do justice to Michael Chabon's book. Bob Dylan's song "Things Have Changed" won an Academy Award.    1 User Review User Review My then husband of 14years ended our marriage after watching Anonymous 01/07/2011    I love Michael Douglas and always enjoy anything he plays in. Guess this fairly depressing movie hit a chord on a rainy Sunday late afternoon with a husband 3/4 quarters out the door without the balls to say so.
