Seize the Day
Tommy Wilhelm (Robin Williams) is a salesman. An honest, hard-working guy who has lost his job, his girlfriend, and left part of his sanity behind as he heads to New York to pick up the pieces of his life. He's always been able to sell, but caught in a downward spiral, he must, in addition, face the father who never really understood him, while trying to balance his newly precarious existence.

Reviews
The story is gripping and easy to feel mostly due to down-on-his-luck, Tommy Wilhelm's anger and frustration with life. Dr. Tamkin, is also a highlight, as his best friend with lots of ideas. I felt that the actors playing most of the other parts were a bit like watching a high school play. Robin Williams and to a leaser degree Jerry Stiller hold this film together as one hopes for a resolution
