Rating: PG-13 - 2 1/2 out of 5 STARS!!!
Release Date: April 23, 2010
Genre: Romance/Comedy
Director: Alan Poul
Cast: Jennifer Lopez, Alex O’Loughlin, Michaela Watkins, Linda Lavin, Tom Bosley, and more.
The Back-up Plan had the potential to be a hilarious romantic comedy with this storyline. Tragedy has struck this chick flick with predictability, bad acting, and little humor. There are a handful of good scenes throughout but not enough to make a really good drama or a delightful comedy. I usually like a good “girls’ movie” but did not overly enjoy this one. I did find some of the pregnancy experiences to be funny but humor was definitely hard to come by in this film.
I suggest you exercise your own back-up plan and see a different movie!!!
FYI: Rated PG-13 for sexual content including references, some crude material and language.

Date Night Movie Review
Rating: PG-13 - 3 out of 5 STARS!!!
Release Date: April 9, 2010
Genre: Comedy/Romance/Thriller
Director: Shawn Levy
Cast: Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Taraji P. Henson, Mark Wahlberg, Jimmi Simpson, Common, William Fichtner, and many more.
This couple is in need of an exciting date night adventure…and they get it! What they end up with is definitely not boring or the usual routine by any means, but is not exactly what they had hoped for this evening without the kids. The drama does help to grow their relationship into one of trust, contentment, and produces a love spark that ignites their marriage once again.
While there was plenty of laughter in this film, much of the dialogue and actions fell flat and did not make for funny moments on screen. I liked this movie but could have waited until the DVD release.
FYI: Rated PG-13 for sexual and crude content throughout, language, some violence and a drug reference.

The Last Song Movie Review
Rating: PG - 4 out of 5 STARS!!!
Release Date: March 31, 2010
Genre: Drama/Romance
Director: Julie Ann Robinson
Cast: Miley Cyrus, Greg Kinnear, Bobby Coleman, Liam Hemsworth, Kelly Preston, and many more.
I love a good transformation movie and that is what happens throughout this piece. You will see a troubled teen allow herself to become vulnerable and transform into a beautiful person that matures from life experiences. The changing relationships with all involved will ultimately restore your hope and confidence in the potential that each of us possess and in the dreams we have for our families and for ourselves.
You will laugh, you will cry, and you will embrace this film as it has great depth and layered storylines that will make it endearing to most. If you can get past “Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana” and focus on the story and be entertained in the moment, rather than compare this with other Sparks movies/books, then you’ll enjoy it. I think The Last Song is worth the investment made to see it on the big screen.
FYI: Rated PG for thematic material, some violence, sensuality and mild language.

Dear John Movie Review
Rating: PG-13 - 4 out of 5 STARS!!!
Release Date: February 5, 2010
Genre: Romance/Drama/War
Director: Lasse Hallstrom
Cast: Channing Tatum, Amanda Seyfried, Richard Jenkins, Henry Thomas, and more.
Dear John is an endearing film about an improbable romance between two people from different worlds. You will experience many emotions when investing in this story that tells of two great loves; that of a father and son, and a new found love that tries to go the distance during war time while facing the challenges that presents.
Richard Jenkins delivers an outstanding performance in his supporting role. Dear John does not have the same appeal as The Notebook but does offer old-fashioned charm and romance and makes for a great date movie. Enjoy!
FYI: Bring tissue and wear waterproof mascara ladies.
Warning: Rated PG-13 for some sensuality and violence.
