Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 3225616, member: 7894"] "The Rewrite" is familiar territory for Hugh Grant. It's kind of like "Music and Lyrics" except this time he's a movie scriptwriter rather than a musician. Same washed up has been. His agent gets him a temporary gig teaching at Binghamton in upstate NY. He intends to totally half-a** it, but lo and behold he starts to connect with his students and actually care about teaching them. Fairly entertaining. Marisa Tomei is charming as usual. Some other strong supporting cast like J.K. Simmons and Allison Janney. "Summer Night" is like many movies that came before it. A group of young people looking to entertain themselves on a weekend night. Not really a plot per se. It either stands up or falls down depending on if you enjoy the characters. I enjoyed it. No big names in it but a number of recognizable actresses/actors, some I wasn't familiar with. It calls for a fair bit of suspending disbelief though--a very small rural town somehow spawned 3 credible bands, and almost everyone is very attractive. Amazing! I have to say--how is Victoria Justice not a bigger star? I mean she was a kid star on Nickelodeon. I think she's a decent actress, she's gorgeous...don't know what happened (although apparently there was some kind of non-existent feud w/ Ariana Grande, but the rumor mill just won't let it go). Also I might not ever get to watch "Anna and the Apocalypse" (released in theaters during the holiday season, not due on DVD until October?...really?), but the star from that--Ella Hunt--was in this and I am looking forward to seeing more of her.
