Originally titled I KNOW WHAT THE BOYS LIKE, THE HOUSE BUNNY from the writers of LEGALLY BLONDE and 10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU, works well as the ultimate teen/pre-teen chick flick.  Silly and irrelevant but deliberately so, director Wolf, the writers and particularly lead Anna Faris deserve full credit for making this comedy refreshing, goofy but ultimately winning.

THE LONGSHOTS is supposedly the true story of the first female quarterback, Jasmine (Keke Palmer) to play in the Pop Warner football tournament.  However, it sure does not feel that way watching Fred Durst’s movie.  For one, the film shifts attention from Jasmine to her uncle Curtis Plummer played by Ice Cube in the lead role. 

THE ROCKER tells the story of one failed drummer Robert ‘Fish’ Fishman (Rainn Wilson from T.V.’s THE OFFICE) as he redeems himself 20 years later by aiding his nephew Matt (Josh Gadd) in his high school band (A.D.D.).  The soul searching journey which ends in his facing of the original Vesuvius band members that dumped him allows director Cattaneo and writers Maya Forbes and Wallace Wolodarsky to parody the rock and roll scene.

Who is Jackie Paris?  Chance is that 99% of people reading this review have no idea.  Neither did director Raymond de Felitta until he heard the jazz crooner over the car radio.  Mesmerized by his voice, style and technique, Felitta gives Jackie Paris the fame through this documentary that has sadly missed him all his life.  Unfortunately this involves digging up a can of worms (a heroin addiction) as well.

The second animated space film this year after SPACE CHIMPS, FLY ME TO THE MOON arrives in the glory of the new digital 3-D.  Kids should be pleased and astounded.
