Note de HarvSurf
With the exception of the painfully accurate 80s video spoof Hugh subjects himself to in the opening and closing credits, there's nothing to fear here. It's a solid, charming, slightly brainless "arrogant boy meets scatty girl" comedy with a few solid gutlaughs - and it's great to watch two masters of physical comedy bounce off each other.
...except in one way.
While as comic partners Barrymore and Grant sparkle wittily, their passion's about as bland and sophomoric as a Tiffany record. Friends - I'll buy that. Partners and work colleagues? Sure. Lovers? Sorry, no dice.
They're bolstered by an excellent supporting cast - particular credits to Kristen Johnson as one of Grant's former fans who still carries a torch despite 20 years and 2.4 kids, Haley Bennett as a convincingly vapid pop superstar and plenty of well-worked bit-part players.
So - it's an unashamed rom-com, it is what it is, and it'll leave you feeling happy and unchallenged. There's nothing wrong with a good 80s tune and similarly with this flick - although, like the tunes, in 20 years time you won't remember it until someone brings it up.

A weird mix of Harry Potter, Breakfast Club and Mystery Men that shouldn't really work...
...but does, thanks to a cracking script, wisecracks that actually work, and genial razor-timed comic performances from almost all the kids and 90% of the adults. (Yes, Mr. Foley, I'm looking at you. D! Minus! I'd give you an F, but that only means I'd have to see you on the CW).
Wish-fulfilments and inspiration for all those longing to break the nerd/jock system. Refreshingly low in saccharine for a Disney flick, stuffed with laughs, some neat flights of imagination and the least convincing giant monster battle... ever. See it.

Cartoon Network's dedicated team of lunatics, misfits and stoners at Adult Swim take hold of a staid, stodgy ancient cartoon (SeaLab 2020) and move it one year on to where the crew are bored, listless, and borderline insane...
Dodgy animation loops blend perfectly with edgy humour (Sparks: "Like veal. But with BABIES. I'm talkin' reaalll baby back ribs here...") and the show pokes fun at just about every cartoon standard.
Best of all is their take on the "evil twin" shtick, when the hideous mutant Bizarro versions of the crew show up. Simple yet genius - please let Adult Swim loose in the UK...
