How Do You Know
Short Story:
At age 27, professional softball player Lisa Jorgenson finds herself in the midst a love triangle, as a white color guy competes with her current baseball player boyfriend.
What They're Saying:
"Before it wraps up that question like the obedient Hollywood love story it eventually has to be, How Do You Know takes an unexpectedly candid detour through how incredibly hard just following that directive has become." - Village Voice
"The sad part is that How Do You Know is nowhere near as dumb as it looks. A couple of comic set pieces are inspired -- or would be, if Brooks's timing weren't off." - New York Magazine
Good For Kids?
Although kids may find this film's comedic antics entertaining, How Do You Know is in no way an ideal children's movie.

What They're Saying:
"Given the movie's graphic pizzazz, the best hippie wisdom Bridges might offer the viewer is: Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstream." - Village Voice
"While 21st-century effects and a cutting-edge dance score make this a stunning virtual ride, the underlying concept feels as far-fetched as ever." - Variety

Good For Kids?
The kids won't fall in love with this suspenseful romance.
The Fighter

Mark Wahlberg stars as popular 1980s boxer "Irish" Micky Ward in this untold story of recovery and triumph. The film details Ward's rocky road to the world light welterweight title and his relationship with his half-brother Dicky Eklund (Christian Bale), a former boxer and recovering drug addict.

"Less a boxing drama than a drama with some boxing in it, The Fighter turns Bale loose in a supporting role that dominates director David O. Russell's film." - Associated Press
"There's a certain predictability to The Fighter, yet that's part of the appeal of the fight genre. This one, as thoughtful as it is rousing, scores a TKO." - Entertainment Weekly
Good For Kids?
With its tantalizing fight scenes and explicit language, one ought to keep The Fighter out of a child's reach.
