How Do You Know

Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, Paul Rudd, and Jack Nicholson star in How Do You Know, the new comedy written and directed by James L. Brooks that takes a contemporary and romantic look at the question, “How do you know?”

Lisa (Witherspoon) is a woman whose athletic ability is the defining passion of her life, having been her focus since early childhood. When she is cut from her team, everything she has ever known is suddenly taken from her. Not knowing what to do, she stumbles toward regular life. In this mode, she begins a fling with Matty (Wilson), a major league baseball pitcher, a self-centered ladies man – a narcissist with a code of honor.

George Madison (Rudd) is a straight-arrow businessman whose complicated relationship with his father, Charles (Nicholson), takes a turn when George is accused of a financial crime, even though he’s done nothing wrong. Though he may be headed to jail, George’s honesty, integrity, and unceasing optimism may be his only path to keeping his sanity.

Before Lisa’s relationship with Matty takes root, she meets George for a first date on the worst evening of each of their lives: she has just been cut, and he has just been served. When everything else seems to be falling apart, they will discover what it means to have something wonderful happen.

Opens December 17, 2010.

Monsters vs. Aliens

It has been a while since a kids film has come out that really had me leaving the theater with that “feel good kid film” feeling.

My six year old had been talking for weeks about seeing this film.  She was mad that we couldn’t go on Friday as soon as it was released because her father wanted to see it as well.  She had to wait until Sunday and boy was that the hardest stretch of time she had to do.

When Sunday finally came, we headed to the cheaper matinee IMAX 3D showing with great expectations.  The last animated film I saw was Space Chimps, which was really just plain bad.  This one didn’t disappoint.

Despite a slow start, when we finally are introduced to the monsters, things pick up and don’t stop until the end.

The alien is annoying, but all the monsters are lovable and entertaining.  The theater packed with kids loved every minute of the film.  The adults were entertained with an adult themed joke here and there.  Special mention goes out to Stephen Colbert and his latte drinking president.

It was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon with the kids and I can see this one being added to the DVD collection when it becomes available, which is saying a lot since we don’t buy many DVDs anymore.
