Movie Review: How Do You Know
I had planned to go to the casino with Dan & Marie, but because of the high humidity and threat of storms due to the cyclone off the coast, we opted for the air-conditioned comfort of the movies.
This is a pretty good movie. Normally with 'love triangle' plots, one of the three is normally a complete loser, but they were all 'normal' characters.
There are quite a few funny one liners which got a giggle out of all of us in the audience.
A definite chick flick!!
Plot: Lisa (Witherspoon) is a woman whose athletic ability is the defining passion of her life, having been her focus since early childhood. When she is cut from her team, everything she has ever known is suddenly taken from her. Not knowing what to do, she stumbles toward regular life. In this mode, she begins a fling with Matty (Wilson), a major league baseball pitcher, a self-centered ladies man – a narcissist with a code of honor.
George (Rudd) is a straight-arrow businessman whose complicated relationship with his father, Charles (Nicholson), takes a turn when George is accused of a financial crime, even though he’s done nothing wrong. Though he may be headed to jail, George’s honesty, integrity, and unceasing optimism may be his only path to keeping his sanity.
Before Lisa’s relationship with Matty takes root, she meets George for a first date on the worst evening of each of their lives: she has just been cut, and he has just been served. When everything else seems to be falling apart, they will discover what it means to have something wonderful happen.
