MISS YOU ALREADY accomplishes a difficult feat: depicting a close friendship between two women without sinking into sentimentality and sappiness. It pulls this trick off mostly through the terrific performances of Toni Collette and Drew Barrymore, and thanks to a script by Morwenna Banks that is packed with humor as well as heart and firm, knowing direction by Catherine Hardwicke.
Collette and Barrymore create a completely believable friendship between gal pals Milly (Collette) and Jess (Barrymore), life-long best friends who have stayed close despite their different personalities and diverging lives in London. These friends tease and joke, which makes their relationship realistic and also makes them seem like people you would like to hang out with. Milly is the out-going one, a risk-taking Brit who is slightly older and definitely bolder. American Jess is more conventional and reserved than flamboyant Milly. Milly and her husband Kit (Dominic Cooper) are financially successful but Jess and her husband Jago (Paddy Constantine) are still struggling financially. Milly has kids but Jess is battling infertility. Still, Jess clearly adores Milly, and Milly feels the same about her. The friends often part by saying “miss you already.”
In this funny, appealing and believable portrait of friendship, the key are the well-drawn characters Collette and Barrymore create as well as a script that gives them the space to play. When Collette’s Milly is diagnosed with cancer and Barrymore’s Jess suddenly gets pregnant, the film runs the risk of dipping into melodrama. But the strong characters and their believable, fun-loving and supportive bond allows the film to avoid this pitfall while giving affecting, touching drama.
Hardwicke does a great job with making this an appealing story by focusing on the friendship, and giving the cast the room to make these relationships real. Even when the script goes a bit off the rails with a trip to Scotland, the strength of the characters and their bond holds the film together. The film also explores how a strong friendship might hold while marriages turn rocky.
MISS YOU ALREADY is not essential viewing but it is a warm-hearted and winning portrait of the bonds of true friendship without false notes, which makes it worth the ticket price.
Drew Barrymore, Toni Collette, Paddy Considine and Dominic Cooper stars in the first trailer for director Catherine Hardwicke’sMISS YOU ALREADY.
MISS YOU ALREADY is an honest and powerful story following two best friends, Milly (Toni Collette) and Jess (Drew Barrymore), as they navigate life’s highs and lows.
Inseparable since they were young girls, they can’t remember a time they didn’t share everything -secrets, clothes, even boyfriends — but nothing prepares them for the day Milly is hit with life-altering news. A story for every modern woman, MISS YOU ALREADY celebrates the bond of true friendship that ultimately can never be broken, even in life’s toughest moments.
Written by Morwenna Banks, the film will screen at the Toronto International Film Festival in the World Premiere Category.
MISS YOU ALREADY will open in theaters November 6, 2015.
Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, who after the success of THE WEDDING SINGER and 50 FIRST DATES, attempt a hat trick and fail with the witless, laugh-free rom-com BLENDED. Their newest collaboration works better as a rom than a com and does have a sweetness that partially compensates for its predictability and meager laughs, but it’s overlong, underwritten and I can’t recommend it.
After a disastrous blind date at Hooters, single parents Lauren (Barrymore) and Jim (Sandler) agree on one thing: they never want to see each other again. But in a convenient, convoluted twist of fate, the pair end up at the same luxurious African safari resort with their families (his three girls – her two boys) and are forced to get along while sharing a suite for a week.
There is nothing I strongly disliked about BLENDED but little to recommend. It goes on far too long – a full two hours. So many scenes could easily been excised – a pointless group massage sequence and an entire creepy subplot with Kevin Nealon and his much younger girlfriend – for a more digestible 90 minutes. There are too many repeated gags with Lauren banging her sleeping son’s head into the wall and Sam’s pretty teen daughter Hillary inexplicably being mistaken for a boy due to her Prince Valiant hairdo. Near the end, a new unnecessary subplot is introduced about Lauren’s ex (Joel McHale) wanting to patch up their marriage. The movie doesn’t know when to end. Somewhere in this mess is a mildly goofball, essentially conservative appreciation of romance, togetherness, and good American fortune – I just wish it had been funny.
BLENDED features the PG-13 Sandler, not the vulgar, dick-and-fart-obsessed, mean-spirited Sandler of stuff like THAT’S MY BOY (which I would have preferred). He delivers here one of his least shtick-reliant performances, mostly playing straight man to the more boisterous kids. There is a subplot about Lauren’s oldest son masturbating to photos of his babysitter and a shot of mating rhinos so BLENDED is not quite as family-friendly as it sounds. Drew Barrymore tries to compensate for the lousy script by screaming, rolling her eyes, and spastically shaking her hands in front of her face. The weirdest element in BLENDED is a Jamaican-accented Terry Crews, who shows up frequently to dance and croon with a chorus of African men behind him. The film’s writers don’t give him anything funny to sing about so instead he flexes his muscles, bugs out his eyes, and shrieks his lines with inappropriate hostility. Or maybe the weirdest moment is when tranny Alexis Arquette shows up to play his/her organ at a kid’s baseball game. Or maybe it’s the scene is where Lauren and Sam bond over porn mags and tampons at a Walgreens. The all-monkey orchestra would have been less weird if one of the chimps hadn’t been wearing a Hooters outfit. These scenes are odd and kept me awake, but they didn’t make me laugh. I suppose undemanding fans of Drew and Adam may enjoy the film on some level. The two stars do have pleasant chemistry and this film won’t hurt their careers. There are some moments of relative gravity, mostly involving references to Jim’s late wife and the details of raising his three motherless daughters. Those scenes didn’t make me laugh either but at least they weren’t supposed to. It’s easy to understand how one could be fooled into thinking that BLENDED might be worth a trip to the theater. After all, the trailers contain a couple of funny moments and there’s some potential in the premise. Unfortunately, all of this means little with a final product so half-baked. Sorry to report that BLENDED is simply another lame Adam Sandler comedy.
After a disastrous blind date, single parents Lauren (Drew Barrymore) and Jim (Adam Sandler) agree on only one thing: they never want to see each other again. But when they each sign up separately for a fabulous family vacation with their kids, they are all stuck sharing a suite at a luxurious African safari resort for a week.
The film also stars Wendi McLendon-Covey (“Bridesmaids”) as Lauren’s best friend, Jen, and Joel McHale (TV’s “Community”) as her unreliable ex-husband, Mark. Kevin Nealon (“Weeds”) and Jessica Lowe (funnyordie’s “RobotDown”) star as Eddy ad Ginger, an overly romantic couple who are also vacationing at the resort, and Terry Crews (“The Expendables 2”) stars as the resort’s singing host. Dan Patrick (ESPN SportsCenter) appears as Jim’s boss, Dick; and Shaquille O’Neal as his coworker, Doug.
Playing Jim’s three daughters are Bella Thorne (Disney Channel’s “Shake it Up”), Emma Fuhrmann and Alyvia Alyn Lind. Kyle Red Silverstein and Braxton Beckham appear as Lauren’s two sons.
BLENDED opens on May 23rd.

In 1982, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial became the biggest blockbuster of the year, and the world fell in love with a strange little creature, and the family who took him in. 30 years later, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial is being brought to audiences like never before… on a 30th Anniversary Blu-Ray.
Nominated for nine Academy Awards® including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Writing and Best Screenplay, the film took home four statuettes for Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects Editing, Best Sound and Best Music for John Williams’ (Jaws) memorable score. The unforgettable cast includes the adorable Drew Barrymore (He’s Just Not That Into You, Charlie’s Angels), Henry Thomas (Dear John, Legends of the Fall), Dee Wallace (10, “Sons and Daughters”) and Peter Coyote (“Law & Order: LA,” Jagged Edge).
Recently, I got the chance to sit down with Dee Wallace and speak with her about the film. Check that out here:
E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL ANNIVERSARY EDITION BLU-RAY
Oh E.T., you haven’t aged a day! As for the Blu-Ray, the 1080p/AVC-encoded video transfer looks superb. You can’t really ask for anything better, especially when it was approved by Steven Spielberg himself. The DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround sound audio has been cleaned up as much as it can be for a 30-year-old movie. Still, the film has never sounded better. Check out how great this film looks in the clips below.

Synopsis:
Inspired by the true story that captured the hearts of people across the world, the rescue adventure Big Miracle tells the amazing tale of a small town news reporter (John Krasinski) and a Greenpeace volunteer (Drew Barrymore) who are joined by rival world superpowers to save a family of majestic gray whales trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle. Local newsman Adam Carlson (Krasinski) can’t wait to escape the northern tip of Alaska for a bigger market. But just when the story of his career breaks, the world comes chasing it, too. With an oil tycoon, heads of state and hungry journalists descending upon the frigid outpost, the one who worries Adam the most is Rachel Kramer (Barrymore). Not only is she an outspoken environmentalist, she’s also his ex-girlfriend. With time running out, Rachel and Adam must rally an unlikely coalition of Inuit natives, oil companies and Russian and American military to set aside their differences and free the whales. As the world’s attention turns to the top of the globe, saving these endangered animals becomes a shared cause for nations entrenched against one another and leads to a momentary thaw in the Cold War.
From director Ken Kwapis, BIG MIRACLE also features Kristen Bell, Dermot Mulroney, Tim Blake Nelson, and Ted Danson.
