Title: What Goes UpYear: 2009 Actors: Steve Coogan, Hilary Duff, Olivia Thirlby, Molly Shannon Plot: What makes a hero? January, 1986. Campbell Babbitt is a reporter for the New Yo rk World, writing a series on a woman who turned the grief of losing a son into civic acts. He falls in love with her, and when she commits suicide, he continues to write made-up stories about her. His editor sends him to New Hampshire to cover the Challenger flight from the town of teacher Christa McAuliffe. The launch is postponed for a few days, giving Campbell time to get to know a group of misfit students whose own teacher killed himself the day Campbell arrives in town. He pieces the story together that led to the suicide, finds himself attracted to a student, and has to sort out his own loss. Show more
