83. The Change-Up Review
August 07, 2011
With Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds, masters of improv and deadpan comedy, one would think all you need to do is let them loose and work off one another and see where they take you. And when you have a screenplay done by Scott Moore and Jon Lucas with Moore writing the first and much funnier The Ha...

August 01, 2011
Punctuation is prominent in the title Crazy, Stupid, Love, the latest film by John Requa and Glenn Ficarra. The first two words in the title are not adjectives that describe the third. Rather it is if they are all synonyms all describing the same thing.
