Hope floats. Barely.
I hope that “Ocean’s 13″ will actually have a decent heist, and not just a bunch of A-list actors hanging out, attempting to out-cool each other. I hope that this film will finally justify all the hype around Steven “Boring” Soderbergh, and prove that he can make an amazing film.
I hope that “Evan Almighty” will be more than simply an 1 hr and 22 min extension of the trailer. I hope that Steve Carell can outwit the big-budget industry by peppering the cliched script with his own puns, ala “Anchorman” or “Virgin”…
I hope that “Chuck and Larry” won’t turn out so petrified of its own subject that its PC-ness will be its most offensive factor. I hope that it won’t be too scared to stick to its convictions, and that Payne will take it one step further and make it both a poignant and laugh-out-loud experience. Somehow, the presence of masterclass director Dennis Dugan (known for poignancy) makes me doubt that.
Hope floats. Barely.
