NEW FEATURE FILMS
Starring: Steve Carell, Anne Hathaway, Alan Arkin and Dwayne Johnson
One of the better comedies of the summer hits DVD today in all its action and joke-packed glory. This edition boasts “62% More Jokes”, a number so arbitrary it’s probably true. These come in the form of deleted scenes and improvised line alterations from second city alums Arkin and Carrell.
This film also contains the somewhat creepy relationship between Carell and Hathaway, a growing trend in film these days, finding middle-aged men pairing up with 20-something females. One can only assume this was the fantastical plan of several Hollywood execs trying to start a reverse cougar trend. Whatever the case, it casts a pall over any romance using this odd technique. Hathaway is great in the movie, but couldn’t they have found a single comedienne over the age of thirty or are they no longer allowed to appear in films?
