Premiering last May at the Tribeca Film Festival and now available on video-on-demand, Amazon and Xbox Live is Sanaa Lathan's latest film, 'Wonderful World.' The movie is scheduled to open in theaters on Jan. 8.

Written and directed by Josh Goldin, the film also stars Matthew Broderick, Michael Kenneth Williams, Jodelle Ferland, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ally Walker and Philip Baker Hall.

A bittersweet comedy about families, friends and a frivolous fight against corporate institutions, 'Wonderful World' is the story of Ben Singer (Broderick), a failed children's folk singer, a newly unemployed proofreader and an every-other-weekend dad to his young daughter (Ferland), who prefers pretty much anything than listening to her father's pessimistic ramblings.

Struggling in all aspects of his life, Ben's only comforts come from smoking marijuana alone and regular chess games with his smart and opinionated Senegalese roommate, Ibou (played by Williams). When Ibou is suddenly struck ill, and an insensitive municipal employee exacerbates the emergency situation, Ben pours his energy into a lawsuit against the city for depraved indifference. Ben's life begins to turn around with the arrival of Ibou's beautiful and sexy sister, Khadi (Lathan), who moves into Ibou's room in Ben's apartment. As Ben suspects that his own cynicism is responsible for corroding the beauty around him, he realizes that it's all a matter of perspective.
