*(I Love You, Man (2009) - Movie | Moviefone)
Bro-mance, schmo-mance, this is a funny movie, centered by a very good performance by Paul Rudd as a befuddled “ladies’ man” in search of a best man for his upcoming wedding to Rashida Jones. He starts awkwardly ‘man dating’ until he stumbles across the happy-go-lucky bachelor Jason Segal, and an unlikely triangle is formed. “A sweet, amusing, and perfectly acceptable comedy all around,” wrote Eugene Novikov. Also on Blu-ray. Buy it.

***17 Again***Personally, I have zero interest in seeing this movie, but if you’re a devoted fan or even curious about the star, help yourself. 17 Again is “a run-of-the-mill family comedy that would be tiresome,” Jette Kernion opined, “if not for [Zac] Efron and a few of the other cast members.” Also on Blu-ray. Skip it.

The Class (Entre les Murs)
Laurent Cantet directed this adaptation of a semi-autobiographical novel by François Bégaudeau, an inner-city Paris school teacher. James Rocchi observed: “Begaudeau’s interactions with his students are so nuanced and smart that it doesn’t feel like the heavy hand of drama when various incidents and events escalate as the film progresses; they feel natural, lived in, human.” Also on Blu-ray. Buy it.
