Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Old Stock is a 2012 Canadian romantic comedy-drama film, directed by James Genn. The film stars Noah Reid as Stock Burton, a young man who has spent two years acting as if he were already elderly, living with his grandfather Harold (Danny Wells) in a retirement home, to escape the disapproval of the community after having been unwittingly responsible for an accident that disrupted his high school graduating prom. One day he meets and connects with Patti (Melanie Leishman), a woman who is teaching dance classes at the senior's home as community service after being found guilty of pyromania, who may finally provide the impetus for Stock to move out of the retirement home and start living life as a young man again.
