Dedication is a 2007 American comedy-drama film directed by Justin Theroux (in his feature directorial debut), written by David Bromberg, and stars Billy Crudup and Mandy Moore.

His illustrator and only friend Rudy dies after a fabulously successful collaboration on their series of children's books about "Marty the Beaver".

His publisher, Arthur Planck, assigns penniless, lovelorn illustrator Lucy Reilly to work with Henry.

She's being wooed by her ex-boyfriend Jeremy, who dumped her two years ago but shows up apologetic, having dedicated his new book to her.
