In this week of rentals I found myself disappointed with many of this years “better” comedies, where two other films ending up where I expected them to be. If you’re considering renting The Alphabet Killer, Horrible Bosses, Your Highness, or Win Win then read my thoughts before making your choice this coming weekend.

Review: Just Go With It

Just Go With It has a couple of funny moments sprinkled into a contrived and implausible mess of a plot that is only kept afloat by its appealing group of actors. Sandler’s latest comedy romance flick is a bit confused with what it wants to be as it openly embraces broad physical comedy as well […]

Now Playing Review – Just Go With It

I have never been a huge Adam Sandler fan, and based on the few clips and trailers I have seen I was pretty ready to write this one off. Let’s just call it a general lack of enthusiasm on both fronts. But fans can rejoice once more; if he has made a fan of me […]

Review: The Switch

The Switch is a high concept rom-com that might seem a bit, “I’ve seen this before,” but its great performances, fantastic heart, and the most realistic characters in a rom-com, in what feels like forever (save 500 Days of Summer), make this a quality effort that is easy to enjoy. (This review might be a […]

Now Playing Review – The Switch

The title might speak towards the switch of a certain bodily fluid in the story, but this is not the only switch with this film. Instead, what we get is a non-stereotypical romantic comedy (if you can even stick that genre title on it), differing in tone and far less groan worthy than most. For […]

Review: The Bounty Hunter

The Bounty Hunter is a blah effort that while not absolutely horrible, is no where near being good either. The film’s identity crisis only fuels this mediocre effort at best. Milo and Nicole are ex-husband and wife and haven’t seen each other since the divorce. Nicole works for a local paper and is on the […]

Rental Review – Management

If Management depicts what constitutes a love story in the real world, then romance should be avoided at all costs. Steve Zahn plays Mike, a motel manager who falls in love with (AKA becomes obsessed with) Jennifer Aniston’s art saleswoman, Sue, while she is passing through on business. Stupidly, in a bout of loneliness she […]

Review: He’s Just Not That Into You

This dramedy that is being sold as some silly romantic comedy is actually pretty serious and interesting look at relationships that works for the most part, outside vindicating the failures of some its characters in the end and warping young girl’s minds. The film follows an ensemble of intertwining characters and couples, for instance Jennifer […]
