| Reese Witherspoon and me 🙂 At the premiere of “How Do You Know” |
WESTWOOD, Calif. December 13, 2010 – Reese Witherspoon, Jack Nicholson, Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd were all at the premiere of their upcoming romantic comedy, How Do You Know, held at the Regency Village Theater. Reese was stunningly-dressed in a Zac Posen Spring 2011 RTW strapless bustier dress and could not have looked prettier.
“We’re all just one small adjustment away from making our lives work,” says one of Reese Witherspoon’s two love interests in her upcoming movie, How Do You Know. And by “small adjustment” he meant the addition of Reese’s love into his own life – a life which had taken a bit of a wrong turn without any fault of his own but which he knew could be course-corrected with the love of the right woman by his side.
I won’t tell you whom she picks or if she picks either at all, but I will tell you to go see this incredibly heart-warming movie. I don’t know why movie critics make a habit of slamming one romantic comedy after another, like they have done with this movie. I mean, seriously, we don’t go into such films looking for Oscar-worthy moments. Those of us who love light-hearted romances, simply want a break from our every day lives and in that respect, this movie delivers enough charm, laughs and touching moments to qualify as a a great chick flick.
Written and directed by James L. Brooks (Broadcast News, As Good As It Gets and Terms of Endearment,) How Do You Know hits the theaters December 17, 2010.
Watch the trailer for How Do You Know, below:
Guess who the schmuck is? Me and anyone else who was fooled into hoping that a movie by such comedic powerhouses as Steve Carell and Paul Rudd would be worth the $14 ticket price. Or worth our time.
I wanted to leave the movie 10 minutes into it when I had not even laughed once. Then, Carell made his scene entry into the movie and a smile came across my face. “Carell will make it all better” I thought. Not only did Carell not make the movie any better, he made it agonizingly more painful.
Before you accuse me of not having a sense of humor, know that I have loved the two-previous Rudd and Carell joint ventures: The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Dinner for Schmucks is nothing like either of those two movies but instead more like a bad Saturday Night Live skit that goes on five minutes too long.
Schmucks uses plenty of cheap, tired, unoriginal tricks throughout to either grab laughs or to advance the plot but fails miserably at both. Best you can hope for are a few scattered laughs, amidst a lot of creepiness, meanness and awfulness. Save your money. Save your time. But, if it’s comedy you’re in the mood for, go see the aptly-named The Other Guys—as those other guys, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, brought it! That comedy left both my jaw and stomach in pain from laughing so hard throughout the movie. You can see the full The Other Guys review here.
If you are a fan of either Paul Rudd or Steve Carell, you will love this unscripted video the Dinner for Schmucks co-stars made for Moviefone.

Chili’s President, Wyman T. Roberts writes in his letter: “Steve Carell’s shameful display of selfishness and betrayal has shifted our ‘motivation’ to previously unknown and previously never experienced levels,” Roberts continued. “His heartless and callous actions will only fuel our constant search for freshness and flavor. This shocking act of disloyalty from our homegrown ‘funny man’ sends the exact opposite flavor of what we would want our children to taste. And ‘where’ we would want them to go out and eat.”
