Aging, blue collar workers and handy men in small towns in America. This movie is just 14 yrs old now, but is already dated, because these days immigrants from Latin America have all the jobs Sully scraped by on: shoveling, unskilled labor, etc. So what's happening to the Sullys of today? Any thoughts?
share....Not to be a wise-guy, but they're probably thinking of relocating to Hawaii.
According to Wikipedia - Richard Russo, "Will soon begin work on a new novel involving the characters from Nobody's Fool." So hopefully we'll find out.
Take it away, Leon!
Let's see.
Beryl (Jessica Tandy) has died (as she did in real life shortly after the filming of "NF"). Since Clive Jr. has taken off, she leaves the house (and a substantial amount of money) to Sully, where he now lives.
Sully now of course is in his mid-70s, and has retired off the money he got selling the Bowdowin Street property for salvage. Sully still spends most of his time at the Iron Horse Tavern where he is now the co-owner with Peter.
Carl and Toby stayed married, although it was rocky, and now their kid is a teenager.
Rub is now about 50.
Peter is 45, has been divorced from his wife for 10 years. He lives in Bath and co-owns the Iron Horse with Sully. Will is now 23, just graduating from college where he studied to be an English teacher (much to the chagrin of his parents).
Wacker is a no-account beer-drinking slacker working various construction jobs, and shows every sign of growing up to be just like Sully.

Everyone gave an answer to a question never posed.
Why don't you put your f@#king hair back on and come on back, just come on back.

Got news for you...in places like upstate NY and other rural locations, it ain't the immigrants working those jobs...
Read Richard Russo's GREAT new novel, Everybody's Fool, and find out.
It's a wonderful book that I highly recommend.
Me too! I just read and loved Everybody's Fool--my first, but definitely not my last, Richard Russo novel--and am now trying to decide whether to watch this movie or read Nobody's Fool. I will read Russo's Straight Man for sure.
