But as the bickering Elliot and Alma Moore, Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel accomplish the near-impossible: They had me yearning for Tippi and Rod. “The Happening.” Running time: 1 hour, 31 minutes. Rated: R. 1 star. THE PROMOTION - With “The Promotion,” you expect a comedy, maybe even a silly comedy given the stars - Seann William Scott (“American Pie”), John C. Reilly (“Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby”), Jenna Fischer (“The Office”) and Fred Armisen (“Saturday Night Live”). Oh, it is funny - two guys competing for the job of manager at a new grocery store. But it’s unexpectedly a lot more. Credit Steven Conrad, who wrote “Pursuit of Happyness,” “The Weather Man” and “Wrestling Ernest Hemingway.” He wrote this one, too, and it’s also his directorial debut. He does fine with that, but it’s his storytelling that makes this small film such a big surprise. There are some very funny moments that play out, and some poignant ones. Reilly and Scott richly mine their characters, alternately confiding in and undermining each other. Their vulnerability and yearning for the good life is a quiet but powerful statement that will stay with you long after the closing credits. “The Promotion.” Running time: 1 hour, 25 minutes. Rated: R. 3 stars. THE INCREDIBLE HULK - “The Incredible Hulk’s” most powerful feat doesn’t involve pummeling, clobbering or giant-fisted fisticuffs - it involves memory erasing. After being worked over by Ed Norton’s muscular take on the Surly Green Giant, you’ll probably forget that Ang Lee’s “The Hulk” ever existed. Watching “The Incredible Hulk” is like going to a fast-food restaurant and ordering a big salad: Sure, it’s cheap and easy, but at least you don’t feel sick afterward. There’s a lot of supersizing, of course: “The Incredible Hulk” has at least three outstanding action sequences, each finding clever ways to depict Norton’s transformation from nebbish to brutish, from Jekyll to Hyde, from passiveaggressive to aggressive-aggressive. Variety wins the day: You might see Hulk fighting in an airy green pasture or a nighttime metropolis, and the villains change and develop throughout the film, rendering it redundancy-free. “The Incredible Hulk.” Running time: 1 hour, 52 minutes. Rated: PG-13. 3 stars. WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE YOUR FATHER? Though the title sounds like a rhetorical guilt trip just in time for Father’s Day, “When Did You Last See Your Father?” isn’t an appeal to visit your pop - though it is likely to leave you wanting to. Rather, this brilliantly crafted father flick is both a pensive elegy and a paternal tribute, highly personal yet somehow universal. The film gradually draws a distinct portrait of an imperfect father-son relationship ... and most of them are, aren’t they? The story is adapted from a memoir by Blake Morrison, and the film’s perspective is entirely Blake’s, as the 40-ish married man returns to his childhood house in rural England. He’s there to “put things in order” - in the fullest possible sense - while looking after his dad, Arthur (Jim Broadbent), whose health is rapidly deteriorating due to bowel cancer. Director Anand Tucker uses a sleekly intuitive flashback structure as areas of Blake’s house and neighborhood pull him into his memories. Past and present connect in the same take, panning from the elder Blake (Colin Firth) to his V-necked teenage self (Matthew Beard). “When Did You Last See Your Father?” Running time: 1 hour, 32 minutes. Rated: PG-13. 4 stars. YOU DON’T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN - In real life, you don’t mess with Adam Sandler, who stars as a hummusloving, indestructible Israeli commando in the raucous and ribald, crude and surprisingly sweet “You Don’t Mess With the Zohan.” In this comedy Sandler is a superhero Israeli assassin who is tired of all the violence. He’s forced into action one more time in order to capture a Palestinian terrorist dubbed “The Phantom” and played by John Turturro. Problem is, Zohan fantasizes about becoming a hairdresser. His foray from Israel to New York (after faking his death) ends up in Brooklyn, where immigrant Israeli and Palestinians live uneasily in the same neighborhood. Soon, he gets hired at a Palestinian-owned salon and, of course, falls for the proprietor (Emmanuelle Chriqui). This movie will please fans of Sandler’s softer films (“The Wedding Singer” and “50 First Dates,” for instance) yet it still delivers the vulgarity and sex his groupies come to expect. “You Don’t Mess With the Zohan.” Running time: 1 hour, 53 minutes. Rated PG-13. 3 stars. KUNG FU PANDA - In this animated tale, Jack Black lends his voice to Po, a clumsy and overweight bear who loves snacking yet longs to be an elite kung fu fighter. It looks like DreamWorks Animation has taken a cue from the superior storytellers over at Pixar: “Kung Fu Panda” is about a lot more than kung fu, and it’s also more than a place for Black to unleash his over-the-top zaniness. Po is a waiter at his dad’s noodle restaurant who has an unhealthy obsession with the Furious Five fighting team. Despite his girth, Po dreams of being just as brave as Tigress! Viper! Mantis! Crane! Monkey! With a cast that includes the voices of Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Lucy Liu and David Cross, “Kung Fu Panda” takes us on a physical and spiritual journey toward making Po the best fighter that China’s ever seen. “Kung Fu Panda.” Running time: 1 hour, 35 minutes. Rated PG. 3 stars. THE FOOT FIST WAY - It used to be that the loser was the sorriest of all characters in the movie universe. Then along came a guy named Napoleon Dynamite, and he transformed the nerd into the coolest guy around. In this movie Fred Simmons is a modern-day movie hero, a nice guy, played by unknown actor Danny McBride, who tries hard and is pretty oblivious to his actual loserness. Fred is actually not so bad. And in his own mind, Fred thinks he’s quite an amazing person. He owns his own karate studio. His students look up to him. And his friends share his obsession for tae kwon do superstar Chuck “The Truck” Wallace. Of course, Fred’s little bubble has to burst when he finds out his wife isn’t as innocent as he’d like to believe. The plot is simple and predictable. The use of karate as an outlet for physical comedy gets overused. And some of the jokes about who could beat up who in a fight seem regurgitated from “Napoleon Dynamite.” But those with a bit of patience and a love for losers will enjoy the film. “The Foot Fist Way.” Running time: 1 hour, 27 minutes. Rated R. 3 stars. SURFWISE - A burly, Tarzan-like surfer and Stanfordtrained medical doctor drops out of society to live as a vagabond, driving his 24-foot camper from destination to destination with no itinerary or goal other than to be happy. He lives by a self-styled code called the “5 Pillars of Health,” in which he eats only the healthiest food, surfs every day and makes passionate love every night with his wife. Oh, yeah. One more thing. The wandering couple have nine kids - eight sons and one daughter - but continue living in the cramped camper and don’t allow their children to attend school. This motley clan of iconoclasts is the Paskowitz family, whose life and times as the first family of surf culture are documented in the film “Surfwise.” This is a provocative film that compels you to take sides and forces a discussion of what we will do in the name of love. “Surfwise.” Running time: 1 hour, 33 minutes. Rated: R. 3 stars. RATINGS 4 STARS - Excellent. 3 STARS - Worthy. 2 STARS - Mixed. 1 STAR - Poor. 0 - Forget It (a dog.) |
