Set in Los Angeles, the film centers on Alex (Adam Scott) and Emily (Taylor Schilling), a newly-transplanted-from-Seattle husband and wife who, along with their young son, are trying to adjust to life in their new home. A chance encounter at a local park introduces the pair to Kurt (Jason Schwartzman), a colorful, whimsical and hugely …
And that’s exactly what the pair do for nearly two hours of profane, slapstick-y humor that tips its boozy hat to classics like Animal House, Bachelor Party and others of their ilk, as sisters Kate (Fey) and Maura (Poehler) host one final, epic blowout at the childhood home their parents (James Brolin, Dianne Wiest) have …
Thanks to her father (Colin Quinn), Amy (Amy Schumer) has spent almost her entire life believing that monogamy is for suckers. He basically sat her down and told her as much, left her mother, and proceeded to lead a self-centered life of screwing around. Somehow Amy’s sister, Kim (Brie Larson), came away with the opposite …
There was this episode of the very funny Fox TV cartoon “King of the Hill”, where middle-aged Hank Hill walks in on his elderly mother having sex with her new boyfriend on the kitchen table.

To me, it feels lazy and pointless. Unfortunately, it makes up a …
At one point in That Awkward Moment, one of the guys in the film mentions Jerry Maguire. Almost in unison, they all exclaim, “I LOVE Jerry Maguire!” Of course they do! Once that was stated, I couldn’t get it out of my head. That Awkward Moment is like a Jerry Maguire for a new generation: …
Joseph Gordon-Levitt can seem to do no wrong these days. He successfully navigated the tricky waters from child star to adult actor, without the industry chewing him up and spitting him out in a puff of cocaine. Seemingly adored by all (including myself), he can pretty much do whatever he wants, from acting to writing …
Delivery Man is one of those movies that pushes all of the right buttons when you’re watching in a dark theater with a bucket of popcorn in your lap. It works on a surface level and gives you the impression of an entertaining experience. I even teared up a couple of times, right when I …
Imagine proposing to your girlfriend at a sporting event and having her stare at you in shock, then shake her head and walk away.
