It was a star-studded red carpet at Tuesday night's premiere of Hit and Run (out Sep. 6) at Regal Cinemas in LA. Dax Shepard, who wrote and directed the film, arrived in style with his leading lady, and fiancée, Kristen Bell, by his side. Kristen rocked a black satin jumpsuit, while co-star Bradley Cooper sported a sexy leather jacket. The stars all took time to sign autographs for fans who were lining the streets before joining castmates Jason Bateman, Michael Rosenbaum, Tom Arnold, Ryan Hansen, and Joy Bryant for group photos. It looked like they had a great time filming since their red carpet reunion was filled with plenty of laughter. We asked the stars how Dax stacked up as a director and Ryan jokingly rated him an 8.5, saying, "He's got some work to do," while Bradley simply said, "He's awesome; he's incredible."

The Change-Up: Hardly a Change For the Better

If you were to judge The Change-Up based on its title, you might think the movie would, well, change things up.

If you were to judge The Change-Up based on its title, you might think the movie would, well, change things up. But you can probably guess what happens when two men who are polar opposites switch bodies. Jason Bateman stars as David Lockwood, an overworked lawyer with three kids who is best friends with Mitch Planko (Ryan Reynolds), a playboy and struggling actor, who sleeps until midday and loves to smoke pot. One drunken night out, the two wish for each others' lives and wake up to find their wish has come true.

The fact that this movie is based on the oft-seen body-switching premise means it automatically feels stale, and the raunchy, adult humour that could have set it apart often feels gratuitous and forced. It's Freaky Friday for adults — and not in a good way.

For more on my thoughts on the film, keep reading . . .

Horrible Bosses: A Comedy That Earns Its Paycheck

Horrible Bosses highlights a common pain of the gainfully employed: working your butt off for someone you hate.

Horrible Bosses highlights a common pain of the gainfully employed: working your butt off for someone you hate. Though the movie may be preying on your plight, it's a laugh-filled escape from an oppressive office. Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day star as three friends who are so unhappy at their respective workplaces that they come to an extreme conclusion: to murder their three bosses. Bateman plays Nick, a financial exec trying to move up in the corporate world, but he's roadblocked by his company's malicious CEO (Kevin Spacey). Sudeikis is content at work until his kindly boss dies, leaving the family business to his drug-addicted loser son (Colin Farrell). Lastly, Day's character Dale is the assistant to a sultry dentist (Jennifer Aniston) who sexually harasses him at all hours of the workday.

The plot may be far-fetched — would three well-adjusted guys really plot to kill their bosses? — but the premise works thanks to clever writing of John Francis Daley (of Freaks and Geeks fame) and Michael Markowitz. And really, the movie is so funny that it's easy to suspend your disbelief.

To find out why Horrible Bosses is the opposite of horrible, just read more.
