You Can Count on Me
Title: You Can Count on Me
Studio: Paramount
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 110 mins
Starring: Betsy Aidem, Lisa Altomare, Matthew Broderick, Michael Countryman, Rory Culkin
Summary: "You Can Count On Me" starts with a terrible car crash that instantly orphans a little boy and his older sister. At film's end, that boy, now a grown-up nomad and ne'er-do-well, takes off by Greyhound after a brief reunion with his sister, who lives at permanent anchor in their unspoiled hometown. The sibling saga that unreels between wrenching collision and bittersweet separation celebrates the idiosyncratic ways wounded folk like Terry (Mark Ruffalo) and Sammy (Laura Linney) put one foot in front of the other, both energized and hamstrung by the knowledge that nothing is ever certain in the road-movie of life. During his visit, Terry roils Sammy's becalmed existence, mostly by "fathering"--for good and ill--her overprotected 8-year-old (Rory Culkin), sneaking him out to play empowering bar pool, later introducing him to the weaselly dad he's fantasized into a superhero. Sammy starts a torrid affair with her married boss at the bank (Matthew Broderick gives delicious bureaucratic smarm), and considers marrying her sometime suitor (Jon Tenney), sweetly dull yet dependable. The narrative peaks here are human-sized, elevated by gentle humor and clear-eyed faith in the existential importance of these intersecting small-town lives. Linney is simply superb as Sammy, wild girl gone good, involuntarily "mothering" every man in her life. An authentic original, newcomer Ruffalo gives his modern-day Huck Finn a drawling, James Dean delivery tuned somewhere between a screwup's whine and the twang of pothead wisdom. (Hard to think of another recent film that so deftly nails down the rich dynamics of everyday conversation--the starts and stops, circumlocutions, clichés, sudden veers into revelation and eloquence.) This is that rarity, an action movie of the heart: no explosions or epiphanies, yet everything evolves through the catalysts of character and experience. "--Kathleen Murphy"

You Don't Mess With The Zohan
Dennis Dugan
Title: You Don't Mess With The Zohan
Studio: Sony Pictures
Genre: Action & Adventure
Writer: Robert Smigel
Duration: 113
Starring: Adam Sandler, John Turturro, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Nick Swardson, Lainie Kazan
Summary: If "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" feels like an extended and crazed sketch from "Saturday Night Live", there are reasons for that. "Zohan"'s star and "SNL" alumnus Adam Sandler is joined by several fellow cast members (in uncredited cameo roles) from his years on the NBC show. But Sandler also co-wrote the film's absurdist script with "SNL" veteran writer and sometime-performer Robert Smigel. Echoes of a few of their classic skits on the show--built around high-strung Israeli characters obsessed with disco and selling junk electronics out of a New York shop--are in revisited in "Zohan" and are a lot of fun to see again. "Zohan" is unbridled nonsense thrown at the wall, but with a sunny disposition that proves surprisingly persuasive. Sandler stars as an Israeli intelligence operative who fakes his death to reinvent himself in New York City as a hairdresser. Putting the lie to assumptions that any man in that professional field must be gay, Zohan routinely provides raucous sexual favors for all of his older female customers. The sight of bottles of gels and hairsprays falling off shelves while the indefatigable Zohan pleasures randy grannies on the other side of a salon wall is pure SNL, and is funnier than it might sound. The silly story involves an old, Palestinian enemy of Zohan, the Phantom (John Turturro), showing up in Manhattan, but everything is really leading to a Big Apple version of the resolution of Israeli-Palestinian conflicts we'd all like to see on a large scale. The film is almost instantly forgettable, and there are many times it veers toward the dumb, but it also sells itself well as a nutty concept. "--Tom Keogh"

You, Me and Dupree
Anthony Russo (II), Joe Russo (II)
Title: You, Me and Dupree
Studio: Universal Studios
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 110
Starring: Owen Wilson, Kate Hudson, Matt Dillon, Michael Douglas, Seth Rogen
Summary: There are a lot of broad comedies about men refusing to grow up, but few have the sly bite of "You, Me and Dupree". Even though Carl (Matt Dillon, "Crash", "There's Something About Mary") is newly married to Molly (Kate Hudson, "Almost Famous", "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days"), when his best friend Dupree (Owen Wilson, "Wedding Crashers", "The Life Aquatic") ends up homeless, Carl invites Dupree into their house--in which Dupree promptly makes himself at home, culminating in setting the place on fire during lurid sex. But though he's trapped between his wife and his best friend, Carl may have bigger problems as his boss--and father-in-law--hates him and is sneakily working against his marriage. "You, Me and Dupree" seems at first glance to be a frat-boy farce about men being emasculated by their wives, but the well-written script, guided with a sure hand by director team Joe and Anthony Russo (who each directed episodes of the top-notch TV series "Arrested Development"), successfully walks a treacherous path between multi-layered characters and comic events, and is all the funnier as a result. Michael Douglas ("Wonder Boys", "Fatal Attraction") turns in a sharp, nasty performance as Molly's overly-possessive father. Also featuring Seth Rogan ("The 40 Year Old Virgin"). "--Bret Fetzer"
You've Got Mail
Title: You've Got Mail
Studio: Warner Home Video
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 119 mins
Starring: Dave Chappelle, John Randolph, Meg Ryan, Jean Stapleton, Dabney Coleman
Summary: By now, Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have amassed such a fund of goodwill with moviegoers that any new onscreen pairing brings nearly reflexive smiles. In "You've Got Mail", the quintessential boy and girl next door repeat the tentative romantic crescendo that made "Sleepless in Seattle", writer-director Nora Ephron's previous excursion with the duo, a massive hit. The prospective couple do actually meet face to face early on, but "Mail" otherwise repeats the earlier feature's gentle, extended tease of saving its romantic resolution until the final, gauzy shot.
The underlying narrative is an even more old-fashioned romantic pas de deux that is casually hooked to a newfangled device. The script, cowritten by the director and her sister, Delia Ephron, updates and relocates the Ernst Lubitsch classic, "The Shop Around the Corner", to contemporary Manhattan, where Joe Fox (Hanks) is a cheerfully rapacious merchant whose chain of book superstores is gobbling up smaller, more specialized shops such as the children's bookstore owned by Kathleen Kelly (Ryan). Their lives run in close parallel in the same idealized neighborhood, yet they first meet anonymously, online, where they gradually nurture a warm, even intimate correspondence. As they begin to wonder whether this e-mail flirtation might lead them to be soul mates, however, they meet and clash over their colliding business fortunes.
It's no small testament to the two stars that we wind up liking and caring about them despite the inevitable (and highly manipulative) arc of the plot. Although their chemistry transcended the consciously improbable romantic premise of "Sleepless", enabling director Ephron to attain a kind of amorous soufflé, this time around there's a slow leak that considerably deflates the affair. Less credulous viewers will challenge Joe's logic in prolonging the concealment of his online identity from Kathleen, and may shake their heads at Ephron's reinvention of Manhattan as a spotless, sun-dappled wonderland where everybody lives in million-dollar apartments and color coordinates their wardrobes for cocktail parties.

Yours, Mine & Ours
Raja Gosnell
Title: Yours, Mine & Ours
Studio: Paramount
Genre: Comedy
Duration: 90
Starring: Dennis Quaid, Rene Russo, Sean Faris, Katija Pevec, Dean Collins (III)
Summary: Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo, the sexiest adults in Hollywood, anchor "Yours, Mine and Ours", an enjoyably traditional family film. Frank Beardsley (Quaid, "In Good Company", "The Rookie"), a Coast Guard admiral, runs his brood of eight kids like a military squad; Helen North (Russo, "Tin Cup", "Get Shorty"), a designer, keeps her multicultural family of ten together with a more free and creative hand. The two run into each other and rekindle their high school romance, getting married before the kids even have a chance to meet. The two families naturally experience a bit of culture clash. After squabbles, disputes, and outright fights, the kids agree on one thing: They have to split up Frank and Helen so they can return to their old lives. "Yours, Mine and Ours" doesn't hold any surprises, but after a rushed beginning, the movie settles into a series of brisk, cheerful skirmishes among the kids and some truly sweet interludes between Quaid and Russo, who handle their mature romance with graceful, seasoned aplomb. This straightforward movie cruises by on energy and enthusiasm, and sometimes, that's enough for a good time. "--Bret Fetzer"
