Will Farrell plays Nick in this heartfelt yet comedic flick about a guy that just went through a terrible divorce which has left him homeless, moneyless and hopeless, one of the harsh realities of many who go through a painful divorce. So in a plan to make some fast cash, he holds a garage sale in his front yard (while living in it), selling everything he owns. He ends up finding an unlikely friendship with his neighbor who before this happened, never really gave him the time of day. I know I know sounds kind of depressing right? Well, this movie is anything but. Ferrell makes what normally would be a sad situation into a comedic one.

DVD Night: Little Fockers, Tron
Filed under Entertainment
In need of a good laugh? Well make it a DVD night with Little Fockers, starring Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller. I’m sure most of you have seen the previous two, Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers, and although I didn’t find the new one to be as good as the others, it’s still full of laughs. As with all Focker movies, it’s full of awkward moments and outrageous antics. It has taken 10 years, two little Fockers with wife Pam and countless hurdles for Greg to finally get “in” with his tightly wound father-in-law, Jack, who wants to appoint a successor as Family-patriarch. Does his son-in-law, the “male nurse”, have what it takes? This is definitely one to add to your Netflix queue.
If you’re looking for a little adventure, maybe try Tron: Legacy, which is also out today. The remake of the 1982 flick stars Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund and Olivia Wilde. The son of a virtual world designer goes looking for his father and ends up inside the digital world that his father designed. He meets his father’s creation turned bad and a unique ally who was born inside the digital domain of The Grid. Ok so, it’s a little sci-fi for my taste, but it’s definitely one your guy might dig!

Christina Aguilera shows off her skills in Burlesque, which is out on DVD today. The singer plays Ali, the prototypical small-town girl with starry eyes who buses herself all the way from Iowa to the Hollywood sign to fulfill her dreams of stardom. She starts waiting tables at a “neo-burlesque” club, run by the world-weary Tess played by Cher. Ali tries to convince the lounge’s owner that she has what it takes to be a part of the club’s act, but Tess and her surly counterpart, Sean, don’t think she has the chops. That is, until she gets on stage and belts out a song like — well, Christina Aguilera.
Another good flick to go see is Love & Other Drugs, starring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal. Maggie is an alluring free spirit who won’t let anyone – or anything – tie her down. But she meets her match in Jamie, whose relentless and nearly infallible charm serve him well with the ladies and in the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales. Maggie and Jamie’s evolving relationship takes them both by surprise, as they find themselves under the influence of the ultimate drug: love.
