Something Borrowed

Think of Prom as High School Musical with heavy doses of teen-aged angst. Summarizing Prom in frighteningly reductive terms, Disney says, "A group of teenagers get ready for their high school prom," and the producers list it simultaneously as "comedy" and "drama." If you read only that description, you easily could conclude Prom dramatizes debutantes' struggles with mascara and up-dos. To her everlasting credit, Aimee Teegarden, veteran of heavy high school drama in "Friday Night Lights," goes a long way toward redeeming Prom from its awkward identity crisis. With a properly delicate and ironic touch, Ms. Teegarden effectively captures every sophisticated senior's inchoate recognition that "valedictory" means farewell and "commencement" is a synonym for "see ya." "Nova, Ms. Teegarden's allegorically named character, recognizes her pet antagonist probably is the ideal prom date, heavy on the fun factor and devoted to keeping rented tuxedos and poofy dresses in perspective. The unlikely pair contrasts sharply with Mei and Tyler, swept-away sweethearts, who wrestle with conscience and logistics as they work to wring every last micro-gram of meaning and romance from "the biggest night of their lives.""Set for release the last weekend of April, 2011, Prom may or may not set the tone for the Class of 2011's dining and dancing extravaganzas, but it surely will provide invaluable fashion and etiquette tips.

Speedy is a 1928 American silent comedy film directed by Ted Wilde.

Long title but somewhat short minded concept that seeks to show what might be best to do if, and when, the world comes to an end as we know it. Everyone knows the world will be coming to an abrupt end one of these days, probably sooner than later at the rate it's going now. But who's to say exactly how we should best spend our remaining days and hours? To each his own! Will romance be the goal and the ultimate end for dorky guys who salivate over cool chicks with whom they would otherwise never stand a snowballs chance with? Who would go to work and put in the best they can if the end is inevitably near? Why bother to even begin to try to impress others when it doesn't matter anyhow? Steve Carell (Crazy Stupid Love, The Office) is Dodge, a neighbor and friend of Penny (Keira Knightley from Atonement, Silk). The two of them team up after Dodge's wife runs off in a state of panic (who knows how we'll react?). They are in search of Dodge's high school sweetheart even though Penny severely cramps his style. Also starring are Patton Oswalt, Gillian Jacobs, and Connie Britton.

Hot Tub Time Machine is probably not perfect sometimes it begins to pronounce different important points about male friendship and the friendship at all. But this is fading to the background of all the things in the film which are done skillfully, delicately and precisely. Getting out of Hollywood in the comedy of this caliber by one per year is a great idea and it would be good at this pace to continue. In general, Hot Tub Time Machine is great crazy comedy with a solid plan over-fulfillment concerning the internal content.
