Hi r/movies, I'm Jim Brooks.

You might know me as the director of TERMS OF ENDEARMENT, BROADCAST NEWS, AS GOOD AS IT GETS, SPANGLISH, I'LL DO ANYTHING, and HOW DO YOU KNOW.

I've also produced films like BIG, JERRY MAGUIRE, THE EDGE OF SEVENTEEN, ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET, and have co-created/developed TV series including THE SIMPSONS, TAXI, THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW, LOU GRANT, and THE TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW.

My newest film, ELLA MCCAY, is out in theaters everywhere on Friday December 12th.

It stars Emma Mackey, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Lowden, Woody Harrelson, Rebecca Hall, Kumail Nanjiani, Albert Brooks, and Ayo Edebiri.

At 34 years old, Ella McCay becomes the governor of the state she was born and raised in. However, navigating relationships with her husband, father and brother may just be her biggest challenge yet.
