A high school baseball coach (Krumholtz) and a down-on-his-luck private investigator (Burns) form a bond as they scour New York City for the coach’s wife, who’s run away with a second-rate rock star. As in Burns’ previous films, the city itself becomes a character as the two men confront their fear of change and the familiar habit of loneliness.
Another witty and humane ode to male bonding, “Looking for Kitty” tells the story of Abe (Krumholtz), an upstate New York high school baseball coach, who wakes up to discover that his beautiful wife Kitty has disappeared.
When someone sends Abe a photo from a newspaper showing a rock star and his entourage, including a woman who could be Kitty, Abe heads to New York City and hires a private detective to find her. The P.I. in question is Jack (Burns), a loner ex-cop who is burying himself in his work to avoid dealing with the loss of his own wife.
Facing eviction from his apartment, Abe’s case is an offer Jack can’t refuse and a chance to finally put to rest his own grieving by reuniting Abe and Kitty. What emerges from this investigation changes both of their lives forever.
