If the director had been Shawn Levy or something I probably wouldn't have.
I know... I was just joshin
the title is so shit i just assumed it was directed by Nancy Meyers.
shows what you know
C'mon guys, can't we let this thread die until it moves to Now Showing, one person sees it and confirms that it blows, and then it disappears forever?
You know, unless an international trailer comes out.
James L. Brooks pic to be recut for language
Columbia's 'How Do You Know' lost appeal to overturn R rating
Source: Variety
After losing its appeal to overturn an R-rating, Columbia Pictures will recut James L. Brooks' "How Do You Know" to eliminate certain language.
Studio wants the romantic comedy film to be released with the less restrictive PG-13 rating. Pic unspools in theaters Dec. 17.
The R-rating was assigned specifically because the word "fuck" is used three times in the film, which stars Reese Witherspoon, Jack Nicholson, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson. Normally, only one occurrence of the word is acceptable in a PG-13 rated film.
On Thursday, the Classification and Rating Appeals Board upheld the R-rating.
When a rating is upheld, filmmakers have the option of making the changes needed to secure a less restrictive rating and resubmitting the film to CARA.
the only language they need to change is the title.
POOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEY.
This was hearkbreakingly awesome and its too bad it was not seen by ANYONE here but me. James L. Brooks hits it out of the park again. Sorry for the pun-Reese's Character is a woman baseball player. It just made my heart melt and its certainly gonna become one of the few blu-rays I will pick up at the end of the year. Thats right, I'm only going to pick up DVD's and Blu-rays every 6 months from now on since I'm really taking advantage of netflix to the core. But I digress.
All of the characters were fully realized and had those 'awww' moments that are in every James L Brooks movie. Plus, it really spoke to me. The three leads really fit into their roles so perfectly. I was skeptical at first but Jesus-were they good. Its a shame the lot of you are too cynical about love to see this gem of a movie-so please open your heart and put this on your queue. Its a step UP from 'Spanglish' and I really can't wait to show it to others. I haven't been this entralled by a romantic comedy since '500 days of summer' and that really flored me.
Recommended.
P.S. You guys are right though, the title does suck.
Are you out of your mind this was AWFUL. I love Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd and they work fine here but all the othe actors are ridiculous, including Jack Nicholson.
Reese Witherspoon can't act.
That script was boring and slow. Bad, bad film
This is pretty bad. Great cast and a few funny moments but overall is BAD.
Even bad Brooks is much better than most. I didn't love it, but I found it very pleasant and enjoyable to watch. It wasn't worth the hundred million or whatever ridiculous amount it ended up costing, though.
