Hey Y’all. The Back-up Plan is the newest film from Jennifer Lopez, heretofore known as JLo. In it JLo plays a single woman who desperately wants a baby. So she goes under her mattress, and gets the $20,000 for in vitro, which magically works the first time. Only the second she gets [...]

Steve Carell and Tina Fey are two of the best things about TV right now. If you’re not familiar with Carell’s signature antics from The Office, you should probably drop what you’re doing and go rent a few discs, if, like me, you’re a human who happens to enjoy laughing and being [...]

Try as she might, Jennifer Aniston is not a movie star. Yet she clings stubbornly to the dream, hoping to find Friends-size success on the big screen. She sure won’t achieve it with The Bounty Hunter, a lazy, tired and utterly charmless high-concept romantic comedy co-starring Gerard Butler.

It would be easy to believe that Judd Apatow was behind this raunchy-but-sweet comedy, with its abundant talk about sex and such, but the man actually had nothing to do with what ultimately feels like a lazy little brother to Knocked Up.
In that film people were shocked when overweight schlub Seth [...]

Youth in Revolt is the story of boring high school student Nick Twisp (Michael Cera), his less than stellar parents, and his undying love for Sheeni Saunders (Portia Doubleday), whom he met on vacation. On the eve of returning to his lackluster life from this vacation, Nick invents an alter ego, [...]

Only in a movie would a woman with Kristen Bell’s looks need to inadvertently cast a spell to have men fall in love with her. Yet that’s what happens in When in Rome, a predictable but fitfully funny romantic comedy starring the blonde Bell and fellow fair-haired human Josh Duhamel.

As a guy, I’m pretty much the wrong gender to be reviewing any movie based on a book by Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook), but here we are with Dear John, a particularly nasty piece of dude repellent starring Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried about a pair of pretty young people and [...]

The Messenger has a lot going for it. The plot line is unique and ripe with potential. Woody Harrelson and Ben Foster play soldiers assigned to the Casualty Notification Office – they are the ones who ring the doorbell of the survivors to tell them that their loved one has died. [...]

Listen, I’m not going to beat around the bush. Valentine’s Day is just pretty awful. Probably the biggest culprit is the writer, Katherine Fugate. The jokes, or intended jokes, are simply not funny. None of them. Now with that said, I must remind myself that comedy is probably the most subjective [...]

It’s really not that complicated: It’s Complicated is not really that good. It’s in some nether world of not really a drama and not really a comedy. It doesn’t fully succeed with either element. Basic plot line is that Jane and Jake (Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin, respectively), have been divorced for [...]
