But that’s a rare moment in second half of a career that is short on films that use her as well as Freeway, Election, Pleasantville and Cruel Intentions did.

It was a little worthy. She did a lot of crying, and it was clear the film didn’t really approve of her having an Arabic husband in the first place. I did think her June Carter Cash was a spunky highlight in Walk The Line, but after seeing Walk Hard it’ll be hard to watch again.

*Who I may be being unfair too, as I have never actually seen any of his films.

According to wiki, ‘the film suffered huge losses at the box office worldwide, grossing only 40 percent of its $120 million budget back.’ Good god, what the hell did they spend $120 million on? (You could make 10+ Elections or 8 Sideways, or probably every Lubitsch and every Sturges rom-com for that, adjusted for inflation.) How do You Know? sounds like a good case-study for an ‘everything that’s wrong with H/wood’ article. (Compare Witherspoon’s expression with the faces on the cover of recent dvds/Blu-rays for Lubitsch’s Design for Living (1933).)

And Lost in America needs to be in my S&S films: the CORE OF THE NEST EGG.

Idiot Pete.

Post openly edited to make sense but also display my idiocy!

It really does look like Reese is having a poo all through this film.

Brooks are entirely different people. Certainly they direct different films. You should be comparing this to Broadcast News and As Good as It Gets rather than Lost in America.
