The Ugly Truth
In this romantic comedy starring Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl, Abby (Heigl) is a morning show producer struggling to find Mr. Right.
She meets the man of her dreams but doesn't know how to get him.
Enter Mike (Butler), one of Abby's correspondents. Mike lives his life by man's baser needs. He thinks he understands the full mechanics of a man's mind and how every man would act in certain situations.
Mike agrees to help Abby bag the man of her dreams but the pair seems to have a lot to teach each other.
With the film's r-rating and cruder subject matter it seems to have more in common with "Knocked-Up" than "27 Dresses" so it should be a date flick both parties can enjoy.
G-Force
Apparently America's greatest defense against threats from abroad isn't its law enforcement, military or intelligence agencies but a group of highly trained guinea pigs.
In G-Force, a squad of four government trained super guinea pigs conducts covert missions around the globe in order to protect America and the world. The squad bungles a mission and is forced to disband, being placed in a pet store for sale.
Evil never rests though and the team must stop an evil billionaire from taking over the world.
This is the family friendly film of the weekend that utilizes the voice talents of Nicolas Cage, Penelope Cruz and Tracy Morgan.
Orphan
The scary movie of the weekend, "Orphan" is a film about a young girl getting adopted by a loving family.
The family doesn't realize what they have just adopted however as Ester begins to tear apart the family. Using lies, deceit and violence she pushes the family to the brink.
The film stars Vera Farming and Peter Sarsgaard as the adopting parents and a bunch of unknown actors round out the cast. This film seems to borrow a lot from "The Omen" from 2006 with its creepy child villain.
