The Bachelors is an American comedy-drama film directed and written by Kurt Voelker.
The film stars Harold Perrineau, J. K. Simmons, Julie Delpy, Josh Wiggins, and Odeya Rush.
After the early death of his wife, mourning father Bill Palet moves with his teenage son, Wes, across the country for a private school teaching job in southern California.
At first they struggle to contain their feelings of loss, but Wes's new French teacher, Carine Roussel, stirs both toward slow change: Wes, through a homework partnership with Lacy, who's fighting depression over her parents' bitter marital collapse; and, Bill, through an unexpected liaison with Carine.
On November 3, 2015, it was announced that Kurt Voelker would direct a comedy-drama film The Bachelors based on his own script, starring J. K. Simmons as a widower.
