Meet Bill (formerly known as Bill) is a 2007 American comedy film written and directed by Bernie Goldmann and Melisa Wallack, and stars Aaron Eckhart as the title character, with supporting performances by Logan Lerman, Jessica Alba, Elizabeth Banks and Timothy Olyphant.

Bill and his wife Jess (Jacoby's daughter) live in a house provided by her father and are financially comfortable.

At the family's public donation ceremony, Bill meets "the Kid", a teen he protects from the school principal for possession of marijuana.

He plants a hidden camera in their bedroom as he goes on a hunting trip with his father-in-law and brother-in-law, accompanied by their mentored students.

At the golf course picnic, Bill gets too close to his wife and Chip (who had a restraining order filed against him), so security throws him out.

Bill plans to meet the Kid at the back, but while driving there, crashes into a tree, causing the fireworks to explode early.

His father-in-law understands, accepting his resignation, commending Bill for attacking Chip, saying he would have done the same (revealing he knew about her affair, despite Jess trying to hide it).

Although shot in the St. Louis area, the setting of the movie is Minnesota, as indicated by the license plates of vehicles, and a "Twin Cities Realty" for-sale sign.

"[8] Eddie Cockrell of Variety called it "A labored screwball comedy about disenchanted people of privilege yearning for fulfillment, pic is full of leaden hijinx directed and played with all the subtlety of a myocardial infarction.
