An awkward title and stilted premise suggest an awkward movie. It is. It’s also very British. Imagine that. Its two strong leads can’t do much but look great. Well they can also sound great, which they do. Still ain’t enough, as we say here in the States. Back to the title, what’s up…

Young women are the target demographic of How to Be Single. I’m neither, so found this melodramatic romcom more tedious than funny. But frequent female laughs indicate it works with its intended audience. |

Extravagantly praised and extravagantly mounted, Love & Friendship proves a bit dull. OK, extravagantly dull. Jane Austen wrote about women whose fortune depended on marriage, comically albeit dully here. Kate Beckinsale & Chloë Savigny play mean girls who get over on husbands, children an…

As tedious as it is funny, though it is damn funny on occasion, this “romantic comedy” plumbs new depths in its hunt for laughs, plowing the nether regions of slacker society as it were. That it succeeds often enough to avoid complete disaster is a credit to kitsch auteur Kevin Smith, though thi… |

Every now and again a dumb comedy is good for you – allows you enjoy something without thinking too hard. She’s Out of my League is one of those films. Can a dorky TSA agent win over a hot gal? Not likely, but reality isn’t something you expect from a movie like this anyway. Plenty of LOL mom…

I’m not really the target audience for this movie, or at least the target gender. But I like smart comedy as much as the next guy. Well maybe more than the next guy. Most guys won’t be watching Girl Most Likely, even if it’s got Matt Dillon canoodling with an ultraMILFy Annette Bening in two …

So this is what the kerfuffle is about, a comic-book superhero whose main superpower is to create cartoons that save the day. Basically, it’s sixth-grade superhero shit, but does make for a sporadically good movie. Mostly that’s because of leading-man Ryan Reynolds, who plays it all for fun, as h…

Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore reunite for this comedy about a women who loses her memory very night, and the man determined to win here heart. Cute, but forgettable (no joke intended there) standard Sandler fare with the same cameos from all the other Happy Madison Productions. |

The French sure know how to concoct clever romantic comedies. If only the execution were up to snuff, Heartbreaker would be a classic of the genre. Oh bien, it screams for an American remake anyway. Hollywood simply has to cast their version better for a monster hit. Heartbreaker mask…

Romantic Comedy, French Flair

The Palm Beach Story hasn’t aged well. A Preston Sturges’ classic, funny and loaded with iconic style, its heavy-handed comedy sometimes clanks. No? Sue me. I’m into romantic comedies mostly for the comedy, albeit not those with too many pratfalls. More egregiously, the use of "colo…
