Lovely, Still follows Landau’s Robert Malone, a man who looks like he’s said far too many goodbyes and not enough hellos. With Christmas on the horizon causing him to feel lonely in life and love, he strikes up a relationship with a stranger (Ellen Burstyn) he finds in his home on his way back from work and it blossoms into love affair that ends in a wholly unexpected manner. Working at the local supermarket, he asks fellow workers for tips on how to conduct himself on dates, involving hapless store manager Mike (Adam Scott) in his attempts to woo Burstyn’s Mary. It’s at the supermarket where Mary first encounters Robert much to the chagrin of her daughter Rebecca (Elizabeth Banks). Robert’s longing for companionship compels him to find happiness with Mary before life slips him by.
