I think maybe a good tagline for St. Vincent would be "never judge a book by its cover." Or "everyone has something to offer." Or even "everyone has something going on so be nice to everyone because you don't know."
Essentially, old grumpy man befriends young boy. They hit it off. But there's a lot more behind the old man. His wife doesn't remember who he is and his vices are catching up to him. But once you get to know him, he's like everyone else. He has his flaws but he cares for some people. The young boy sees past the smoking, drunk, cranky old man and sees a modern day saint--hence, St. Vincent. It's a funny movie, with some poignant scenes and messages, and well worth your money (or free movie ticket in my case).
