Butley

A brilliant soul mired in a deep crisis, the hero of Butley is a boozing, cynical, jealous professor who has reached his wit's end thanks to the breakup of his marriage and the end of his affair with former-student-turned-faculty-member Joey. When Butley runs afoul of the petty university hierarchy, it helps seal his fate. Poor Butley can't catch a break, but you will be entertained by this darkly humorous look at academia, relationships and plain ol' bad luck.
