Movie: You Again
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 1 Hour 40 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I saw this movie today and we both enjoyed it. If you want to see a light comedy that will give you a few laughs and you don't have to use your brain, you will want to see this one. It stars Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Betty White, Sigourney Weaver, and even Cloris Leachman has a small role. With those actors, you know there will be a few laughs. The previews of this movie are on the TV often so I'm sure you already know the story line. Go see it - you'll enjoy it.

GOING THE DISTANCE
Movie: Going the Distance
Jan's Rating: 5
Time: 1 hour 42 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: SAVE YOUR MONEY! I gave this movie a "5" rating and I was being generous. It is the worst movie I have seen lately. Cousin Bonnie, my sister Judy, and I went to see this movie. Bonnie left after 30 minutes. The people behind us left after 20 minutes. That left just Judy and I in the movie, hoping it would get better. It did pick up a little bit but not much. The language was just nasty, and no reason to have that in this movie. They should have worked harder on giving the movie a decent plot but that didn't exist either. Drew Barrymore falls in love with Justin Long in NY, then she has to go back to California to finish her schooling so they travel back and forth every 3 months to see each other with lots of sex and nasty words happening when they are together. I have always liked Drew Barrymore's movies but she sure did disappoint me with this one. The Enquirer gave it an "A-" so I should have known then I wouldn't like it since we never agree on a movie's rating.

EAT PRAY LOVE
Movie: Eat Pray Love
Rating: 8
Time: 2 Hours 15 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Bonnie and I went to see this movie today to celebrate her birthday. She had read the book and was a little bit disappointed. I had not read the book and I really enjoyed it. Julia Roberts is a free spirit and reminds me a lot of our daughter Dyan. I would like to add that I am very happy that Dyan did not take this avenue in her life, too risky for a young woman, and her Dad and I would have had a heart attack. I'm sure you have heard what the movie is about, Julia Roberts divorces her husband to goes abroad for a year to find herself. I think she did a good job in this role and I would highly recommend it, especially to women. Not sure if men would like it.

THE SWITCH
Movie: The Switch
Jan's Rating: 6
Time: 1 Hour 50 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: I saw this movie with my friend Laura today and we agreed that it was "cute" but were a little bit disappointed. The movie is pretty boring as it starts off, to the point where I dozed off a few times, but then it picked up and was better. Jennifer Aniston stars as a single woman who is looking for an egg donor because she wants a baby but hasn't found anyone she wants to marry yet. Jason Bateman is her close friend of many years who isn't thrilled about what she is doing. The little boy genius that she ends up having is the cutest part of the movie. Don't know if I would pay to see it at the movies again, but would rent it.

THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT
Movie: The Kids Are All Right
Jan's Rating: 9
Time: 1 Hour 44 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Saw this movie with Cousin Bonnie today and we enjoyed it. Yes, all you young people who think YOU invented sex, WE enjoyed it! :-) I thought the acting was excellent. It has to be good for two straight women (Annette Bening and Julianne Moore) to kiss and make it look like they enjoy it. I do think it must be difficult for kids to have 2 Moms or 2 Dads instead of one of each but this couple did a good job of raising 2 well-balanced children. We agreed that the sperm Dad, Mark Rufalo was pretty hot. I thought the movie was well done and as long as you aren't offended by gay people or the "F" word, you should like this movie too.

SALT
Movie: Salt
Jan's Rating: 6
Time: 1 Hour 33 Minutes
Jan's Opinion: Angelina Jolie play Evelyn Salt (hence the title "Salt"), a CIA Agent who is accused of being a Russian spy as she searches for her missing husband. I saw this movie with my friend Laura and we both agreed that many parts were unbelievable, where you would say to yourself, "yea, right". Angelina is a good actress and is impressive in this movie. There is a lot of action and violence, so if you like that kind of thing, you will like this movie.
