Adam Sandler and his frequent costars (Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider) grope blindly for maturity in the genial comedy Grown Ups. Five childhood pals are drawn back together after the death of their former basketball coach; over the course of a Fourth of July weekend, they–along with their wildly attractive wives (played by Salma Hayek, Maria Bello, Maya Rudolph) and precocious children–loosen up, try to introduce their kids to the simple pleasures of nature, air some dirty laundry, and rediscover their friendship. In other words, it’s a fairly formulaic comedy that veers awkwardly from gags (ranging from slapstick to mean-spiritedness) to sentiment (ranging from sappy to not entirely sappy). Its appeal will depend entirely on your feelings about Sandler and the rest of the gang–if you like this bunch of lugs (in all their prolonged adolescent glory), then you’ll like this movie. If you don’t, you won’t. Everyone’s in relaxed but good form; affable is more the comic goal than razor sharp. Expect gags about being fat, being old, prolonged breast-feeding, ogling hot chicks, flatulence, etc. There’s some role reversal: it’s the women, particularly Hayek as a type-A fashion designer, who need to learn the eternal cinematic lesson that family is more important than work.

It was a choral rendition of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing” that first put Glee on the map, the thrilling end to an intriguing pilot episode that aired after American Idol in May 2009. After the full season began airing that fall, Glee became the most talked about show on TV, a musical-comedy-drama of colorful characters and soaring production numbers.

Come join the family for the hilarious and critically acclaimed breakout hit of the year! Featuring an all-star cast led by Ed O’Neill, Sofia Vargara, Julie Bowen, and Ty Burrell, Modern Family takes a refreshing and funny view of what it means to raise a family in this hectic day and age.  Multi-cultural relationships, adoption, and same-sex marriage are just a few of the timely issues faced by the show’s three wildly-diverse broods.  No matter the size or shape, family always comes first in this hilariously “modern” look at life, love, and laughter.

DVD Title: Click
DVD Release Date: October 10, 2006
Starring: Adam Sandler, Christopher Walken, Kate Beckinsale, David Hasselhoff, Sean Astin

DVD Review: A workaholic finds a universal remote that allows him to pause, fast-forward and rewind different parts of his life. When the remote control begins to malfunction, he is forced to deal with the consequences. It is an interesting concept, but it seems forced. The first half of “Click” tries too hard to be funny; the second tries too hard to be sentimental. It is short enough to be enjoyable.

DVD Review: The Hoover family treks from Albuquerque to the Little Miss Sunshine pageant in Redondo Beach, California, to fulfill the deepest wish of 7-year-old Olive, an ordinary little girl with big dreams. The family is so burdened with their own quirks, neuroses, and problems that they can barely make it through a day without some disaster befalling them. Mining humor from subjects like suicide, drug abuse and bad parenting, it is a bitter, but surprisingly funny film.

When the flesh-hungry undead start to rise in numbers around modern-day London, Shaun must save himself, and also his friends, his ex-girlfriend, his mom, and his precious record collection. Given the survival odds the best choice for their hideout would be their local pub. If they’re not safe, at least they can get drunk.

DVD Release Date: February 7, 2006
Starring: Peter Sallis, Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes, Nicholas Smith, Peter Kay.

DVD Review: Starring the hapless inventor Wallace and his silent yet infinitely wiser dog, Gromit. The film is packed with clever ideas and barely a minute is allowed to pass without a pun, sight gag or one-liner that will have you laughing out loud. The charming duo have a successful, and unbearably cute business keeping rabbits out of the town’s gardens. That is until the dreaded Were-Rabbit arrives just in time to disrupt the annual giant vegetable competition.
