''Nobody's Fool'' is a 1994 drama [[TheFilmOfTheBook based on the novel by Richard Russo]], written and directed by Robert Benton, and starring PaulNewman, Jessica Tandy, Melanie Griffith, and BruceWillis.

Then, one Thanksgiving, Sully's estranged son Peter (Dylan Walsh) comes to town, and Sully tries to repair their relationship, as well as be a grandfather to Peter's son Will.
This film was well received by critics, and considered one of the best performances of Newman's career.
Not to be confused with the 1986 movie starring Rosanna Arquette and Eric Roberts.
This film contains examples of:
* DeadpanSnarker: Sully, Carl, Toby and Judge Flatt all qualify.
* HeyItsThatGuy: One of PhilipSeymourHoffman's earliest roles.
* MeaningfulEcho: Twice, Toby calls Sully a man among men; the first time, it's not a compliment, but it is the second time.
* RunningGag: Sully stealing Carl's snowblower, and Carl stealing it back.
* YouNeedToGetLaid: After Officer Raymer writes him a ticket, Sully says to him, "Boy, I hope you get laid sometime soon."
