Dan in Real Life
Dan in Real Life is a great, sweet film that should appeal to everyone. The performances are very down-to-earth, and although the plot becomes predictable, it plays out in a naturalistic way.
Runaway Bride
This is not nearly Garry Marshall's best film, nor is it his worst. But you can't help but feel like he let Richard Gere and Roberts do all the heavy lifting.
The American President
It could be easy to get wrapped up in the implausibility of The American President's story, but Aaron Sorkin's script paints a beautiful fairy tale with a behind-the-scenes look of politics as the driving force.
Some Kind of Wonderful
Some Kind of Wonderful would be a whole lot better if Eric Stoltz was interesting in the slightest.
Happiness for Beginners
Netflix's original films tend to verge into Hallmark movie territory and Happiness for Beginners is a shining example of that. It has recognizable, good talent, with a solid premise, yet takes the easy road in simplifying the feelings it wants to invoke.
Fever Pitch
I completely understand why Fever Pitch is reviled by most Boston Red Sox fans, but it doesn't take away from the fact that this movie points out some pretty funny aspects of sports fandom.
