  • Movie Review: ‘You Hurt My Feelings’

    In theaters May 26th, ‘You Hurt My Feelings’ represents a reunion for director Nicole Holofcener and star Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and a welcome one at that.

    In an era when adult dramas and comedies have a hard time finding space between giant franchise behemoths crowding the multiplex, it’s reassuring to know that ‘You Hurt My Feelings’ represents the latest reliable low-key laugh-grabber from Holofcener, who specializes in stories of characters obsessed with their emotional and life status, whose worlds are thrown for a loop by unexpected circumstances.

    What’s the story of ‘You Hurt My Feelings’?

    The film charts the emotional rollercoaster of married couple Louis-Dreyfus’ Beth (a writer whose memoir was published to some acclaim and whose latest book, a work of fiction, is still in progress) and Don (Tobias Menzies), a therapist who is losing faith in his ability to counsel his increasingly dissatisfied patients and in his own appearance.

    Their seemingly happy, if slightly rut-riding marriage is plunged into disarray when Beth overhears Don telling brother-in-law Mark (Arian Moayed) that he doesn’t really like her new novel after reading many drafts. Stunned, Beth begins to question whether he’s ever truly been honest with her, and how real she has been with others in her life, including sister Sarah (Michaela Watkins) and son Eliot (Owen Teague), an aspiring writer himself currently biding his time managing a New York cannabis store.

    As the ripples of the unlikely drama spread out through both partners’ work and family groups, real truths start to swim to the surface of this seemingly happy relationship.

    Who else is in the movie?

    Aside from the leads, Holofcener’s latest also features Jeannie Berlin as Beth and Sarah’s grouchy mother Georgia, Amber Tamblyn, David Cross, Zach Cherry and Sarah Steele among Don’s patients, plus Bryan Reynoso, Karolena Greenidge, Doug Moe, Lynnsey Lewis and Claudia Robinson.

    A welcome reunion

    The biggest advantage that ‘Feelings’ has –– beyond Holofcener’s typically incisive, funny script and subtle direction –– is her welcome reunion with Louis-Dreyfus after 2013’s ‘Enough Said’. She may have some way to go to be a Holofcener collaborator on the scale of, say, Catherine Keener, but the two have clearly found a solid vibe.

    As Beth, Louis-Dreyfus switches tracks from (mostly) contented wife and mother to puddle of neuroses, perfectly conveying the sort of nervy artistic character yearning for approval from those around them and saddled with a mother (Berlin’s Georgia is more of a standard character type but gives her layers) who is never quite satisfied. Louis-Dreyfus sells every moment of Beth’s journey, turning what could be a frustrating archetype into a relatable woman. She’s given more to do than, say, her turn as Jonah Hill’s overzealous Jewish mother in ‘You People’.

    Tobias Menzies as Don in A24's 'You Hurt My Feelings.'
    Tobias Menzies as Don in A24’s ‘You Hurt My Feelings.’

    As Don, meanwhile, British actor Menzies is also great. Far from being a stock husband in a movie like this, he has his own inner life and a clutch of funny, grumpy therapy clients with their own issues (Cross and Tamblyn bring humorous real-life married couple energy to two of them) and is the perfect twitchy complement to Beth. It’s also entertaining how he’s the sort of therapist quick to offer advice to others about how to figure out their relationships but seemingly stymied by the mildest issue arising in his own.

    And their marriage comes across as realistic and nuanced, rather than schticky, even when in the midst of their disagreement.

    Yet while Beth and Don are the focus, the film shares the care and attention beyond them, building up Watkins’ Sarah and her frustrations as an interior designer, picking out ever more ridiculous/ugly lamps for a choosy client (Clara Wong’s Ali), and questioning whether she’d be better off ditching the job and finding something more meaningful. Moayed, meanwhile, Sarah’s schlubby actor husband, is dealing with his own career crisis. Mildly successful in movies, he’s now struggling with his latest job in the theater and beginning to wonder whether acting is something he should do at all. More normally found being much slicker and successful on ‘Succession’, Moayed is a great fourth pillar in the central story.

    Are there issues?

    As is normal for Holofcener, the stakes are incredibly low-level, seen as a problem only really by the people involved. And there is a chance that will turn off some audiences –– is it really possible to truly empathize with wealthy (or at least comfortable) New Yorkers whining about someone not liking their latest work or feeling let down by their professional choices? Fortunately, the writer/director finds the humanity in these characters, and the various actors give you enough to make you care how their stories turn out.

    Yet in a movie where there are so many well-drawn characters, it’s only really Eliot who suffers from a slightly undernourished take; it’s no fault of Teague, who offers a funny performance, but he really only has one opportunity to shine, in a minor breakdown in front of his parents about how his mother’s encouragement set him up to fail at life.

    But those are relatively minor complaints in the effective new film from a writer/director whose keen sense of comedy and character are undimmed. It’s a pleasure to have new work from Holofcener, and something reliably entertaining for anyone who isn’t drawn to capes fluttering in the wind, or cars racing around the streets.

    It might not be quite on the same level as ‘Enough Said’, or the Oscar-nominated, Melissa McCarthy-starring ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’, but ‘You Hurt My Feelings’ is a solid entry in Holofcener’s neuroses-laden character canon.

    ‘You Hurt My Feelings’ receives 7 out of 10 stars.

  • Eight Great Summer Vacation Movies

    Eight Great Summer Vacation Movies

    Meatballs

    16072
    Sometimes overlooked in favor of other “slobs vs. snobs” comedy classics from the same era, like Animal House and Caddyshack, this was Bill Murray’s first starring role, and the feature directorial debut for Ivan Reitman. Murray stars as Tripper, head counselor at Camp North Star, a bargain-basement summer camp in Ontario. Murray takes the lonely Rudy (Chris Makepeace) under his wing while still overseeing a group of oddball counselors-in-training as they have their own romances, pull pranks on the camp’s director, and take on wealthy Camp Mohawk in a yearly tournament. It’s ultimately a sweet story, without ever getting quite as crass as some of the era’s other films starring Saturday Night Live alumni. ‘Meatballs’ would turn out to be hugely successful, spawning three mostly unrelated sequels and countless knockoffs.

    Wet Hot American Summer

    9824
    If ‘Meatballs’ saw plenty of lesser imitations, ‘The State’ alumni David Wain and Michael Showalter stepped up with a satirical take on summer camp movies. Although it bombed at the box office, it’s since become a cult classic, spawning two series on Netflix (one prequel and one sequel). There’s an amazing cast here, including Bradley Cooper, Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Amy Poehler, Judah Friedlander, Janeane Garofalo, Christopher Meloni, and David Hyde Pierce, plus other alumni from ‘The State,’ such as Ken Marino, Michael Ian Black, and Joe Lo Truglio. There’s a plot here about the camp putting on a talent show, counselors in love, and a falling piece of Skylab that threatens everyone’s lives, but it’s really just an excuse to see some stars and future stars show off some great comic chops.

    Dirty Dancing

    4518
    For those that haven’t gotten around to seeing this classic, it’s easy to write off ‘Dirty Dancing’ as sappy romance. But that would be wrong. It’s an emotionally satisfying coming-of-age story about Frances “Baby” Houseman (Jennifer Grey) and her steamy summer romance with dancer Johnny (Patrick Swayze). The dancing is terrific, Grey and Swayze have terrific chemistry. Written by Eleanor Bergstein and based on her own summer trips to the Catskills, Baby’s adventure starts because she and her family are taking a summer vacation at Kellerman’s a tony resort. Baby sees hints of classism between some of the staff, and she finds herself drawn more to the working class staffers instead of the Ivy League-bound waiters. The film subversively gives Baby agency, letting her pick her own friends and make her own choices in her sex life; she has a summer fling with a sexy dancer and isn’t punished by fate for it. That was fairly groundbreaking in 1987, and is (sadly) might still be considered unusual in some corners even now.

    National Lampoon’s Vacation

    887
    This is another film that started a franchise, but the original version is still the best. Based on screenwriter John Hughes’ own National Lampoon story about a disastrous road trip, the movie focuses on the Griswold’s drive from Chicago to California for a visit to a thinly-veiled version of Disneyland called “Wally World.” Chevy Chase puts in a legendary turn as Clark, the increasingly obsessive patriarch of the Griswold clan. Clark is going to have a great road trip with his family whether they like it or not, and if he becomes Ahab in a station wagon, then so be it. Beverly D’Angelo hits just the right notes as Clark’s wife Ellen, as does Anthony Michael Hall and Dana Barron as their children Rusty and Audrey. Chase and D’Angelo would return for sequels, and it became a running joke that Rusty and Audrey would be recast in every subsequent film. This first adventure sees car trouble in the desert, an unwanted passenger, a temptress in a Ferrari, and a visit with Cousin Eddy (a reminder of when Randy Quaid was funny). It’s filled with laughs, but it will definitely make you think twice about future family road trips.

    Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

    19138
    Based on the best-selling YA novel by Ann Brashares, this is the story of four teen girls, best friends since childhood, who are about to spend their first summer apart. But before three of them leave town, the quartet go shopping and find a pair of jeans that magically fit each one of them. The four decide that they’ll share the pants for the summer, and while each of them have these mysterious jeans in their possession, their individual summers are upended. Blake Lively, America Ferrara, Alexis Bledel, and Amber Tamblyn play Bridget, Carmen, Lena, and Tibby (respectively). The movie captures the charm of the novel, in no small part because of the charisma and chemistry of the stars, and it’s ultimately a heartwarming tale about female friendships and the bonds young women make that can last a lifetime.

    Girls Trip

    20087028
    The annual Essence Music Fest takes place in New Orleans every 4th of July, and that’s the backdrop for Ryan Pierce’s (Regina Hall) attempt to reunite with three of her friends from college. Pierce is a bestselling author and lifestyle guru, poised to be “the next Oprah.” She’s scheduled to speak at the festival, so she invites her college friends to join her, in the hopes of rekindling their friendships. These other three have lives of their own now; Sasha (Queen Latifah) is a celebrity gossip blogger, Lisa (Jada Pinkett Smith) is a working single mother, and Dina (Tiffany Haddish) is still party-girl Dina, all these years later. These four actors are great together, but Tiffany Haddish is a revelation here, stealing the movie and never giving it back. The film isn’t afraid to remind us that women can and do party hard, but it doesn’t lose sight of these friends repairing burned bridges and reaffirming their love for each other.

    Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar

    Uya6FAeGPtVqkWKvSILvg4
    One of the casualties of quarantine is that this film didn’t get a proper theatrical release. That’s a shame, because as funny as this movie is, it would have been even more side-splitting with a big audience. Make no mistake, this movie is straight up bananas from beginning to end. Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo wrote the script and star as Star and Barb, two middle-aged best friends that talk a bit too much, they can be both clueless and timid, but once they hit Vista Del Mar, the movie all but explodes into mayhem. To describe too much would be to take away some of the stunningly insane jokes packed wall-to-wall across the entire film. But suffice to say you may never look at Jamie Dornan the same way again.

    The Endless Summer

    30550
    This is one of the first and probably still the best surf movie ever made. Director Bruce Brown follows two surfers, Robert August and Mike Hynson, as they leave Southern California and travel to surf spots around the world, including South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Tahiti, Senegal, New Zealand, Hawaii, and Australia. Brown’s breezy narration is a far cry from the stiffer voices heard in most documentaries at the time, and it lends an inviting tone to the gorgeous cinematography of the both surf action and the local landscapes. This documentary might help non-surfers understand the appeal of surfing more than any other film ever made, and the idea of an “endless summer” means its welcome on any day of the calendar year.

    Female Filmmakers in Focus: director Elza Kephart discusses ‘Slaxx,’ plus a look at ‘Traveling Pants 2’

    Welcome to Female Filmmakers in Focus, where you will find a recommendation for films directed by women to seek out each week. This week features the horror film ‘Slaxx,’ an interview with the film’s co-writer and director Elza Kephart, and pairing with another film about magical pants: Sanaa Hamri’s ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2’

    ‘Slaxx’ (2021) – Co-written and directed by Elza Kephart

    ‘Slaxx’ follows wide-eyed teenager Libby (Romane Denis) on her first shift at supposedly eco-friendly fashion boutique Canadian Cotton Clothiers or CCC. Stuck working a night shift on the eve of the launch of a new product – super shaper jeans that shift to fit anybody type, Libby learns what we all learn on her first job: work sucks. Co-workers can be jerks, managers egotistical, PR girls cold, company policy absurd. However, as the night progresses she quickly learns that the evil that lurks behind corporations may be even more sinister. With campy gore reminiscent of Italian Giallo slasher films, ‘Slaxx’ is filled with terrific horror set pieces and an ending shot you won’t long forget.

    Read on for an interview with ‘Slaxx’ director/co-writer Elza Kephart

    Inspired by films like ‘Star Wars’, ‘Back To The Future’, and Italian horror films of the 60’s and 70s, Elza Kephart started writing scripts when she was a teenager. After graduating from film school at Emerson College, Kephart worked on the sets of American films shot in Montreal. She made her feature film directorial debut with 2004’s ‘Graveyard Alive: A Zombie Nurse in Love.’

    Moviefone: Why did you decide to tell a story about the dark side of fast fashion?

    Elza Kephart: I’ve always been really fascinated and repulsed at how corporations manipulate and convince us to buy things that we don’t really need. It wasn’t always about fast fashion. It’s been about body creams to dolls to Cheetos. It was a general hatred of corporate brainwashing that’s been with me for many years. My co-writer Patricia Gomez worked in retail, so when we came up with the idea for ‘Slaxx’ we decided the right setting for it was a retail store. I did research into fast fashion and when I realized how horrific it actually was, it seemed like a natural fit for a horror film.

    MF: Did you always think you’d be a horror filmmaker?

    EK: I’ve always loved horror. I’ve always liked darkness. I started reading Agatha Christie when I was young and my friends were reading The Babysitter’s Club. To me, if there wasn’t a death in what I was reading, I wasn’t interested. So I’ve always just really loved the genre. I loved Anne Rice and Chistopher Pike and all that stuff. Making horror films came about after college. I didn’t think I was necessarily going to make horror films, but then Patricia and I decided to make a zombie movie together as a joke, which became my first feature. I did visual research to prep myself for that film ‘Graveyard Alive: A Zombie Nurse in Love’, which was a 1960s-set B-movie. As I started to watch all these films again, I had been going to Fantasia (a horror film festival in Montreal) since I was young, I realized this is what I loved. I love these dark weird, disturbing tales. These were the kinds of stories I wanted to tell.

    MF: What do you hope audiences take away from this film?

    EK: A couple of things: First, I hope people enjoy it as a gory insane horror film. I want people to laugh and to be entertained, to watch killer pants come to life! Second, I hope people come to think about their consumption habits, that instead of buying something new, they first ask themselves if they really need it, and if they do, whether they can buy it second hand, repurpose or trade it. And if they can’t, then to try as much as possible to buy from companies that are ethical. I think we’ve been brainwashed by corporations to buy without thinking so it’s really important for people to realise that they have real power in not buying, in not giving in to the lure of buying things we don’t need. Choosing not to buy can become a political act! It’s crucial that, because of the looming climate and ecological crises fueled in part by over production and over consumption, we must rethink our relationship to consuming if we are to survive as a species.

    The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008) – directed by Sanaa Hamri and written by Elizabeth Chandler

    (L to R) America Ferrara, Amber Tamblyn, Blake Lively, Sanaa Hamri, and Alexis Bledel on the set of ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2’

    Moroccan-American filmmaker Sanaa Hamri cut her teeth directing music videos for icons like Prince, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Lenny Kravitz, and Christina Aguilera. Her feature films include ‘Something New’ stars Sanaa Lathan and Simon Baker, ‘Just Wright’ starring Queen Latifah and Common. She’s also directed countless episodes of television, including more than a dozen episodes of ‘Empire.’

    If you want more pants that miraculously fit any body type try ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.’ A direct sequel to the first film directed by Ken Kwapis and written by Delia Ephron Elizabeth Chandler, both are adaptations of books by Ann Brashares. They follow four friends – Tibby (Amber Tamblyn), Carmen (America Ferrera), Bridget (Blake Lively) and Lena (Alexis Bledel) as childhood friends who come of age apart from each other. The first film in the franchise follows their first summer apart ever, the second follows them the summer after college. Over the course of the films, the magical pants don’t murder anyone, but rather give these girls confidence to grow into the women they’re destined to become, while also reminded them they’ll always have each other when things get rough.

  • ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants’ Is Being Adapted Into a Stage Musical

    ‘The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants’ Is Being Adapted Into a Stage Musical

    The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
    Alcon Entertainment/Warner Bros.

    Hey, if “Mean Girls” can do it…

    “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” came out in 2005 as an adaptation of Ann Brashares’ 2001 novel. Stars Amber Tamblyn, America Ferrara, Blake Lively, and Alexis Bledel returned for the 2008 sequel, and a third film is said to be in the works.

    But now a stage musical is coming too.

    According to Entertainment Weekly, Alcon Entertainment and Alloy Entertainment announced that Tony-winning producer Scott Delman (“Mean Girls”) and his Blue Spruce Productions have acquired the live theatrical rights for the property. The stage adaptation will be based on the films (as opposed to the novels, apparently), following four best friends who share a magical pair of pants.

    No further details have been shared at this point. They’ll probably cast newbies as teen characters, but it would be so amazing to see the four original stars — now in their 30s — reunite both for a third movie and for the stage musical. We can dream.

  • Armie Hammer and Amber Tamblyn Brilliantly Respond to James Woods Dig

    After James Woods critiqued the 7-year age gap between two male characters in Armie Hammer‘s new gay indie romance, “Call Me by Your Name,” Hammer had the perfect response.

    “Didn’t you date a 19-year-old when you were 60…..?” Hammer replied to Woods’ tweet.

    Per THR, Woods started dating his current girlfriend, Kristen Bauguess, in 2013 when she was 20 years old and he was 66. (Woods turned 70 earlier this year.) And also began dating his previous girlfriend when she was 19 or 20, and he was (as Hammer points out) 60.

    Amber Tamblyn then tweeted that James Woods hit on her when she was only 16. Ewwwww.

    And Holly Marie Combs (“Charmed”) pointed out that Woods used to date a friend’s daughter… that he had watched grow up! And a woman shared her story of Woods hitting on her when she was still in high school.

    Woods blocked Tamblyn and tweeted out that her story was “a lie.” In a series of tweets, he added, “Final word on this: I don’t give a s**t what liberals think.”

    Besides the age gap, some — including conservative gay author Chad Felix Green, whose reaction Woods retweeted — take issue with the fact that the younger character in “Call Me by Your Name” is just 17. However, the film is set in Italy, where the age of consent is 14.

    If it’s not already part of the conversation (and it surely will be), Tamblyn, 34, is 19 years younger than her husband, David Cross.

    “Call Me By Your Name”,” which opens November 24, currently has 98 percent positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

  • Amber Tamblyn & David Cross Welcome Baby Girl (Who Should Keep That Crazy Name)

    'Hits' Official After Party At Rock & Reilly's - 2014 Park CityTalk about a Fünke name for a baby.

    Amber Tamblyn, 33, just welcomed her first child with husband David Cross, 52. She announced their daughter’s birth through an adorable Instagram video that listed the child’s name as — wait for it — Dauphinoise Petunia Brittany Scheherazade Von Funkinstein Mustard Witch RBG Cross Tamblyn-Bey jr.:

    Yeah, that’s probably just the pair trolling, letting fans know their baby’s name will stay private for a while. Then again, maybe it’s her real name. You never know with Hollywood folk. Either way, when she’s old enough to choose for herself, she should keep it. There’s a good chance no one else has this name, and it’s kinda pretty in its own cartoon villain sort of way. (“Mustard Witch” is inspired, and should catch on as a nickname.)

    The “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” actress and the “Arrested Development” actor were married in 2012. Tamblyn announced her pregnancy in October and wrote an essay on the subject for Glamour. At the time, she got backup from her “Sisterhood” buddy Blake Lively, who has two children of her own:

    When not announcing her new baby’s (probably fake) name, Tamblyn has been promoting her new Netflix movie “Girlfriend’s Day,” written and co-starring Bob Odenkirk, the Bob of David Cross’s sketch comedy series, “Mr. Show with Bob and David.”

  • ‘Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 3’ Is in the Works, According to Alexis Bledel

    Actress got fans excited this summer when she hinted that a third installment of the “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants” series could happen some day, and now, another one of the titular stars of the film says plans to revive the franchise are indeed in the works.

    The Tonight Show” this week, telling host Jimmy Fallon that “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 3” is a very real possibility.“We would all love to do it,” Bledel said, adding that Lively, , and were all on board, too. “I think it would be so much fun, and we talk about it. … I think we should absolutely do it. We’re working on it. So we’ll see if it happens.”

    “You’re working on it?” a hopeful Fallon interjected.

    “Yeah, we’re working on it,” Bledel confirmed. “It would be so fun!”

    We certainly agree with that assessment. And considering a chunk of the action in the last film, “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2,” took place in Greece, we think the actresses would be more than willing to sign up for more.

    Lively said back in June that all four of the stars wanted to make sure that the story made sense before moving forward. We’ll keep our fingers crossed that there are additional developments on the threequel’s progress soon.

  • Amy Schumer’s ‘POV Porn’ Shows Sex From the Woman’s Perspective

    Here’s another one for the So Wrong It’s Right file. In a new “Inside Amy Schumer” sketch, Amy sits down with actress Amber Tamblyn and they prepare to watch some porn. Amber first notes that she’s never been into porn; the idea of people getting paid to have sex has never turned her on. Amy replies, “Totally, like I hear you, but trust me, this is different. It’s not like porny-porn, it feels like real sex — it just happens to be, literally, from the woman’s point of view.”

    Cue footage of bed springs squeaking, a woman facing a not-so-hot guy, shots of a pillow, the phone ringing, comments like “Ow, you’re on my hair,” and “Did you ever see that movie ‘Spanglish?’” and — when it’s over — the guy going to sleep while the woman puts on a home shopping channel.

    Amber’s reaction is pretty horrified.

    Amber: “Did you show me this so I would think guys were gross and I would lez out with you?”

    Amy smiles and shrugs. She did.

    Amber: “It worked.”

    Cue their make-out session — which is of course taped and becomes online lesbian porn for some guy watching on his own laptop. The circle of porn life continues!
