You, Me and Dupree

Editor's Rating: 
1.5
Average: 1.5 (1 vote)

Despite a cast of big Hollywood names, who have all had their fair share of quality work, directors Anthony and Joe Russo’s (both of The Kiss) You, Me and Dupree is a complete disaster. From start to finish the jokes are tedious, the plot wanders aimlessly; even the usually amusing Owen Wilson (Starsky & Hutch) can’t save this from being a train wreck.

The Lake House

Starring: 
Sandra Bullock
Keanu Reeves
Directed By: 
Alejandro Agresti

Sandra Bullock (“Speed”), Keanu Reeves (surprise surprise, “Speed”) and a letterbox that can transport letters backwards and forwards in time - we already know where this is going, right? “The Lake House” is really pretty humdrum, but could have been reasonably entertaining had the director put more thought into it.

The Break-Up

Editor's Rating: 
3.5
Average: 3.5 (1 vote)

So after all the hype of The Big Break Up, Brangelina and speculation about Jennifer Aniston (TV’s Friends) and Vince Vaughn’s (Wedding Crashers) off-screen romance, here is the movie with the ironic title that coincided, rather skilfully from a PR perspective, with the hoo-ha around Jen’s love life. With such a build up one would only expect this to be another ho-hum romantic comedy where Aniston is Rachel Green all over again capped off with some mildly amusing jokes from Vaughn. It’s not.
