The film was directed by Noam Murro, written by Mark Poirier and produced by Michael London, with Omar Amanat serving as executive producer. Smart People was filmed on location in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, including several scenes at Carnegie Mellon University and the Pittsburgh International Airport. Premiering at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival, North American distribution rights were acquired by Miramax Films and the film was released widely on April 11, 2008.
Carnegie Mellon English Professor Lawrence Wetherhold (Dennis Quaid) is a widowed parent of his alienated college son, James (Ashton Holmes), overachieving high school daughter, Vanessa (Ellen Page), and sibling to his adopted ne'er-do-well brother, Chuck (Thomas Haden Church) that he cannot evade enough. The professor is bitter, arrogant, self-absorbed and uninterested in his students; this does not help him when he parks illegally on campus, his car is impounded and does not pay his fine before getting to the college impound lot watched by a flunked former student.
Smart People (2008) Directed: Noam Murro Writer: Mark Poirier Cast: Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ellen Page, Thomas Haden Church, Christine Lahti, Ashton Holmes, Camille Mana, David Denman
Driven by a clever script and fine performances, SMART PEOPLE is set in the land of academia, a place where both Lawrence and Vanessa have taken refuge and plunged themselves into as escape from the external world. In spite of their high IQs, both father and daughter are equally clueless when it comes to navigating relationships. This becomes obvious as Vanessa develops a line- blurring relationship with her uncle, and Lawrence stumbles in romancing his doctor. If Vanessa wants a shot at happiness and Lawrence wants to make things work in his love life, both will have to adopt new attitudes or risk further alienation. Starring Dennis Quaid, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ellen Page, and Thomas Hayden Church.
Smart People (2008) . Into the life of a widowed professor comes a new love and an unexpected visit from his adopted brother.
Lawrence Wetherhold is miserable and misanthropic: he's a widower, a pompous professor at Carnegie Mellon, an indifferent father to a college student and a high-school senior, and the reluctant brother of a ne'er-do-well who's come to town. A seizure and a fall send Lawrence to the emergency room where the physician, a former student of his, ends up going on a date with him. His daughter, Vanessa, lonely and friendless, who's been bonding with his brother, tries to sabotage dad and the doctor's relationship, but Lawrence is good at that without help. Is there any way these smart people can get a life? Can happiness be pursued beneath layers of irony?

Highly intelligent people might seem to have it better in life, but these 10 struggles prove that isn’t always the case! It’s easy to assume that having a high IQ would come with several privileges. For example, you wouldn't have to study as hard for tests. You'd read about complicated concepts and be able to grasp them immediately. You'd be able to take on challenging but exciting jobs with ease. In fact, all that may be true! But, there are difficulties and challenges that only highly intelligent people will experience. Besides these struggles, there are several personality traits of highly intelligent people that set them apart from the rest. Many of these traits have to do with their intense feelings and emotions. Others, with their distinctive socially awkward interactions. These tra...

Why smart people tend to be loners: Having lots of friends and socialising makes intelligent people miserable Smart people may be far happier with their own company than meeting friends. A new study has found that for intelligent people, the more frequently they socialise with friends, the less satisfied they are with life. The findings come from two evolutionary psychologists who challenge the modern view that the more social contact we have the happier we will likely be.
Trust is a vital part of everyday life. If you can't trust anyone, than your life can be lonely. But, if you trust too many people, it's easy to be betrayed or let down. Laci hangs out to discuss the surprising link between one's level of intelligence and their willingness to trust others.

if only we loved us like before
there would be more
if only we could have stopped the war
we were losing
love come back save the day
promises made 'til the day we die died
angry fists with broken wrists reply why
four more lips that tasted truth filled lies lied
only to return again
if only we loved us like before
there would be more
if only the scars would disappear
verbal surgery
if only we could have seen the smoke
simple warning
if only we loved us like before
there would be more
love come back save the day
someone wake me seems like lately
all i do is sleep walk
right through the fire
if only we loved us like before
