The super-smart but tragically nerdy kids go to Harvard; the wise-ass geniuses go to Yale. Natalie Portman went to Yale. Therefore, no one should feel at all surprised that Portman can follow a brilliant and breathtaking performance in Black Swan with a charming and lighthearted romp through No Strings Attached. The bitter and brutal ballet movie showed critics and audiences just how smart, sensitive, and psychotic Portman can become when a role demands manic intensity. One critic commented, "She always has been good, but now we know the woman actually can act—except she is so good we forget she is acting." No Strings Attached proves Portman's range, and it satisfies her concern that Hollywood produces far too few "vulgar" comedies for women by women and starring women."No Strings Attached gained director Ivan Reitman's attention when it qualified for the 2009 "Hollywood Blacklist," a studio executive's annual collection of the best scripts that have failed to make the cut at every major studio. The writers pitched No Strings Attached in a single sentence: "A guy and a girl struggle to have an exclusively sexual relationship as they both come to realize they want much more." Although the plot seems painfully thin, irony, sentiment, and humor alloy the script. Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher punctuate and pixelate the post-modern era's answer to Doris Day and Rock Hudson, delivering a sweetly satisfying Valentine's Day confection. Apparently, at Yale, students learn never to take themselves or their obvious brilliance too seriously.

In the second part, which came up for a great name: Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. All the action revolves around the vocal talents of the chipmunks' trio. Chipmunks are still in an exemplary self-confident, dynamic, wonderful, although sometimes vulgarly joking. It is not surprising that two years ago, they were the real heroes and idols for young audience. At this time we can confidently predict that the audience of fans of Alvin, Theodore and Simon will increase considerably.

The War of the Roses is a 1989 American dark comedy film directed by Danny DeVito and starring Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, and DeVito. The movie follows the story of Oliver and Barbara Rose, a wealthy couple who begin divorce proceedings after 17 years of marriage. As their legal battle intensifies, the couple's once-loving relationship turns into an all-out war, with each spouse using increasingly vicious tactics to gain the upper hand.

There is a Frank Oz film "Death at a Funeral" of 2007 which stills is one of the best comedies ever. And there is the Nile LaBute's remake "Death at a Funeral" of 2010 which as it turned out was not confounded the original, and at one point even outrides it. Screenwriter of both projects is the same Craig Dean, so you should not expect the different approach to story. Hence, a logical question: Why? Why was it necessary to do all the same, just change the white English actors on the better-known for global audience the black American stars, without even changing one of the key roles Peter Dinklage as a short blackmailer here and there?

"Crazy Rich Asians" is a 2018 romantic comedy-drama film directed by Jon M. Chu and based on Kevin Kwan's 2013 novel of the same name. The film features an all-Asian cast and tells the story of Rachel Chu, an American-born Chinese professor who travels to Singapore with her boyfriend, Nick Young, to attend his best friend's wedding and meets his wealthy family for the first time. As Rachel navigates the social complexities of Nick's world, she faces many challenges and conflicts that force her to confront her own identity and values.

When the Farrelly Brothers set out to make a movie they always go for the humorous and predictable male ego (they're so easy). Guys like Rick (Owen Wilson) and Fred (Jason Sudeikis) are easy to manipulate and their wives certainly know how to "push their buttons". So when these long time best friends, with lots in common, become restless and bored with their home life, it's up to their long suffering wives to find a method of recharging their interest in home life. Both Rick's wife, portrayed by Jenna Fischer, and Jason's wife, played by Christina Applegate know what's on their men's devious little minds and give them a Hall Pass to go out and do whatever they wish for one week. This offering is something the two restless married men find mighty attractive until they realize their wives have plans to do the same thing with their time away from the men in their lives.Soon enough each individual finds their expectations may be set too low. A romantic comedy with great writing and a superb cast make Hall Pass (2011) one to watch and perhaps learn something from the message."
