NY Mag skewers Reese Witherspoon’s new movie, ‘How Do You Know’ OUCH! Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson star in James L. Brooks new movie, ‘How Do You Know’ which comes out today. There seems to be a reason why the movie wasn’t screened in advance for critics… the movie sucks. Here’s what NY Mag has to say: It’s hard to imagine many people will have the patience to sit through James L. Brooks‘ dismally wan rom-com “How Do You Know.” But those who do will need a way to pass the time. My solution was to consider variations on the titular query, until the credits finally rolled. For example: Q: How do you know when a director has become too cynical for his own good? A: When he assumes audiences will fall for anything, as long as it fits a formula. Other viewers, however, may want to start with a more urgent question. Like: Q: How do you know when to cut your losses and go see something else? A: When you start to feel embarrassed for everyone on screen. That moment arrives way too soon, as it becomes clear that Reese Witherspoon has no idea how to shape her performance. It’s not really her fault, though; Brooks (an Oscar-winner who’s been in a slump since 2004′s “Spanglish”) never bothered to turn his concepts into characters. So all there is to Witherspoon’s Lisa is this: After aging out of professional softball, she’s wondering if it’s time to focus on marriage and children. She won’t achieve either with her boyfriend (Owen Wilson), an oafish baseball star. It’s doubtful Lisa would ever date this dimwitted playboy, but he provides the required conflict when brainy George (Paul Rudd) shows up. Frankly, there’s no reason George should fall for the ultra-bland Lisa, either. But Brooks needs to push the movie along, so the men compete fiercely, with one offering intelligent sensitivity and the other offering, well, Owen Wilson’s hair. To distract us from this gaping vacuum of a plot, a lost-looking Jack Nicholson wanders through as George’s corrupt father. Brooks’ shallow screenplay feels half-finished, and he never compensates with additional guidance or directorial flair. So all his actors are forced to flail about ineffectually. Apparently, none of them read the script in advance. Because surely then they’d have known to take a pass. I read other reviews this morning – not all are this harsh, but for the most part it’s getting either 1 or 2 stars. Again… OUCH.
