Meet Bill is a 2007 comedy film written and directed by Bernie Goldmann and Melisa Wallack and starring Aaron Eckhart as the titular character. The story revolves around Bill , an overweight, middle-aged man dissatisfied with himself and his life. He works at his father-in-law, Mr. Jacoby's bank. But his job is meaningless with a made up title, and his in-laws don't take him seriously, especially his brother-in-law. Jacoby is a pillar in the community and is considering a mayoral run. Bill and Jess, his wife live in a house provided by her father and lead a comfortable lifestyle provided... by him. Bill is trying to purchase a doughnut franchise with the Whitmans , a friendly married couple who own the franchise business. Bill's interest in purchasing a franchise is an attempt to wean himself and his wife off Jacoby's finances. At a public donation sponsored by his in-laws, Bill first meets "the Kid" , a spunky and easygoing teenager, who is running from the school principal.
