A wedding-table-comedy which I was sure I’d already seen before, but didn’t recognise any of the details. I know actors work on different jobs, but I was surprised that Olivia Munn was in this turkey, as I was used to
Jay and Silent Bob Reboot
It’s weird, isn’t it? 2001’s Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back was a self-indulgent, self-serving, self-referential piece of shit film – and yet it remains one of my favourite classic bits of nonsense. The Jay & Silent Bob Reboot was
How Do You Know
Long on pedigree (Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, Jack Nicholson, James L. Brooks) but short on everything else – totally implausible rom-com where Witherspoon plays an apparently national-level professional sports athlete, but doesn’t seem to demonstrate any agency over her romantic

Stuck in Love

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Mr. Right
The Acting Range of Anna Kendrick heads up this oddball piece alongside Sam Rockwell, in which Rockwell plays a hitman with what can only be described as a fairly unconventional business model, and a very non-standard romcom situation comes into
