The body-swap.  It’s an old favorite, been around since time immemorial.  Like Father Like Son, Prelude To A Kiss, The Hot Chick, 18 Again (not to be confused with 17 Again, which is a teen-again thing.  Totes diff.)  And let’s not forget Freaky Friday, Freaky Friday,  and, of course, Freaky Friday.  Can you merge the [...]

The Switch blends a potent mix of family, friendship, and emotions.  Unfortunately this film is being sold as a laugh out loud romantic comedy – so something is awry.  Can you deal with accidental artificial insemination between lifelong friends and keep a light hearted whimsical comedy afloat?  One thing’s for sure, you’ll never look at [...]

Today at Comic-Con saw less news, but much more high-profile announcements. Most of the action took place in Hall H, which was bogged down with some serious line management problems, but we’ve got it all summed up right here for you.

As a St. Louis denizen, all I knew a few months ago about Jason Reitman’s new George Clooney film Up in the Air was that the filming process congested my nearest airport (and that several of my classmates wound up being extras!). Now, thanks to /Film and the wonder of media embeds, we can get [...]

Certainly there are laughs, few and far between though they may be, but none ever really rise much higher than a chuckle. Writer, director, and animation [...]

I was eagerly anticipating this movie as I’m a big fan of Jason Bateman’s understated comedic approach… and Mila Kunis’ understated hotness. And yet, neither could save this film. It was, in my opinion, just plain dumb. While writer and director Mike Judge usually does a great job depicting the humorous banality of everyday life [...]
