Opening this weekend: GOING THE DISTANCE.

Here’s the scoop on this RomCom:

Erin and Garrett are good together–even when they’re apart. When aspiring journalist Erin (Drew Barrymore) moves to San Francisco to finish her last year of school, boyfriend Garrett (Justin Long), an assistant music scout, stays in Manhattan to pursue his ambitions and wait on that promotion he’s been promised. With a webcam connection and frequent flier miles, the two gamely navigate the pitfalls and miscommunications of their bi-coastal romance, dodging bad advice from friends and some predatory singles who won’t take “taken” for an answer. But when it seems their wait is almost over, Erin scores her dream job in California just as Garrett’s career heats up in New York. The big breaks they’ve been hoping for could break them up for good…unless their love can truly go the distance.

Brooks Brandal, Jacksonville filmmaker, won the Jacksonville.com Cinemania Video Contest with this cool animated vid. I’ve always secretly seen myself as a cartoon character, especially in the morning after a couple cups of caffeine. I’m glad Brooks didn’t make me look fat.

Calling all Twihards. Vampires Suck puts a spoofy spin on your fav film franchise. It opened last weekend and has at least made enough at the box office to pay for the film, which is a good thing for producers.

Opening this weekend in the U.S.: THE SWITCH.

Jennifer Aniston stars alongside Jason Bateman in this offbeat comedy as Kassie, a smart, fun-loving single woman who, despite her neurotic best friend Wally’s (Bateman) objections, decides it’s time to have a baby, even if it means doing it by herself… with a little help from a charming sperm donor (Patrick Wilson). But, unbeknownst to her, Kassie’s plans go awry because of a last-minute switch that isn’t discovered until seven years later when Wally finally gets acquainted with Kassie’s cute–though slightly neurotic–son.

Read my review of THE SWITCH for Jacksonville.com’s Cinemania:

THE SWITCH REVIEW
*Warning: This review contains plot spoilers.

Man gets son. Man loses son. Man gets son.

The Switch is not your typical romantic comedy. Wally (Jason Bateman) has been in love with Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) for years. But it’s not until she reappears in his life as a single mom with a 6-year-old, intelligent, neurotic son who looks just like him, that he really connects with another member of the human race: the boy.

Sebastian (Thomas Robinson) not only looks like Wally, he has many of Wally’s peculiarities, like moaning when eating his favorite foods. He’s a hypochondriac like Wally. Like Wally, Sebastian doesn’t know his father. So many coincidences, or are they?

Migration of the majestic plastic bag to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is so heartwarming and inspirational. It’s a must-laugh mockumentary.
