In Sacramento, producer of a morning show Abby Richter is a controller that has a checklist with items about the ideal man for her; however she can not find any man that fulfills her prerequisites. Her show has problems with low ratings and the TV direction hires the cynical chauvinist Mike Chadway that hosts the popular and gross mannish show “The Ugly Truth” about what men and women really want in a relationship.
I don’t mind Katherine Heigl, for all the trouble she’s supposedly caused, I loved 27 Dresses. This is the best comedy/chick flick that GB has done and I’ve seen it a couple of times. Love the jello fight!
George is a former professional soccer star who’s moved to Virginia to be close to his ex-wife and son. He’s broke, jobless, without a plan, and a constant source of disappointment to his son. When he takes over as his son’s soccer coach, he has a new connection to the lad. He also gets the attention of three of the players’ moms as well as the glad hand of a wealthy dad. His ex-wife’s getting married, he has a lead on a sportscasting job, and he finds new ways to disappoint his son. Is there any way he can sort things out?
Great movie with famous actors and GB gets hot and heavy with most of them!
Milo Boyd, a down-on-his-luck bounty hunter, gets his dream job when he is assigned to track down his bail-jumping ex-wife, reporter Nicole Hurly. He thinks all that’s ahead is an easy payday, but when Nicole gives him the slip so she can chase a lead on a murder cover-up, Milo realizes that nothing ever goes simply with him and Nicole. The exes continually one-up each other – until they find themselves on the run for their lives. They thought their promise to love, honor and obey was tough – staying alive is going to be a whole lot tougher.
I’m not a fan of Jennifer Aniston and I prefer The Ugly Truth over this, but it wasn’t a bad movie.
Edited in 2022 to add, it has Jason Sudeikis as a co-worker of Jennifer’s and he’s sporting a Ted Lasso moustache.
Holly Kennedy is beautiful, smart and married to the love of her life – a passionate, funny, and impetuous Irishman named Gerry. So when Gerry’s life is taken by an illness, it takes the life out of Holly. The only one who can help her is the person who is no longer there. Nobody knows Holly better than Gerry. So it’s a good thing he planned ahead. Before he died, Gerry wrote Holly a series of letters that will guide her, not only through her grief, but in rediscovering herself. The first message arrives on Holly’s 30th birthday in the form of a cake, and to her utter shock, a tape recording from Gerry, who proceeds to tell her to get out and “celebrate herself”. In the weeks and months that follow, more letters from Gerry are delivered in surprising ways, each sending her on a new adventure and each signing off in the same way; P.S. I Love You. Holly’s mother and best friends begin to worry that Gerry’s letters are keeping Holly tied to the past, but in fact, each letter is pushing her further into a new future. With Gerry’s words as her guide, Holly embarks on a journey of rediscovery in a story about marriage, friendship and how a love so strong can turn the finality of death into a new beginning for life.
Pre-prepare yourself with boxes of tissues for this movie. I sat watching it online and bawled my eyes out for most of it. Probably the first movie ever I did that over. It will make you bawl like a baby and if you don’t YOU ARE NOT HUMAN!
Nine-year-old Frankie and his single mum Lizzie have been on the move ever since Frankie can remember, most recently arriving in a seaside Scottish town. Wanting to protect her deaf son from the truth that they’ve run away from his father, Lizzie has invented a story that he is away at sea on the HMS Accra. Every few weeks, Lizzie writes Frankie a make-believe letter from his father, telling of his adventures in exotic lands. As Frankie tracks the ship’s progress around the globe, he discovers that it is due to dock in his hometown. With the real HMS Accra arriving in only a fortnight, Lizzie must choose between telling Frankie the truth or finding the perfect stranger to play Frankie’s father for just one day…
A sweet little movie that’s probably neither chick flick nor comedy. I cried a bit at the end because even if he’s deaf, Frankie is one smart cookie!
Gerard’s done a lot of great movies, and I went into most of them not knowing too much about them. Some surprised me, some bored me, these were ones that had my attention all the way through.
