SEBRING, July 10, 2009 – The Fairmount Cinema 6 adds three new movies to its lineup for the weekend of July 10 -12.
I Love You, Beth Cooper may be the most promising of the trio. Starring Hayden Panettierre (depicted weekly, it seems, in People magainze) and Paul Rust, I Love You, Beth Cooper is about a buried romantic secret revealed in a graduation valedictory speech, and all the antics that follow. It’s rated PG-13.
Nia Vardalos leverages her success in My Big Fat Greek Wedding in a new romantic comedy, My Life in Ruins, which opened a month ago but just now makes its Highlands County debut. Richard Dreyfuss and Rachel Dratch co-star in this story about a woman with a slow epiphany about her vision for life. Critics and audiences have felt mixed reactions. Our estimation is that her movie is solid, if unspectacular. It won’t be as good as My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but it’s not the disappointment some critics have carped about, mostly because they didn’t like the way Vardalos handled her success.
Bruno returns Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) to the silver screen to milk success from another strong comedic character. Reviews have been very positive, but beware: this comedy is for a specific audience ready and willing to endure heavily crude and sexual content and nudity, which give Bruno its R rating.
With those ideas in mind, here are our recommendations for this weekend:
The Proposal – romantic comedy with Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock.
Bruno – hard-core comedy about a gayAustrian starring Sacha Baron Cohen.
Ice Age 2 – More great Pixar animation and story with Ray Romano’s voice.
Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen – for the action and special effects set.
