There are eight movies opening this week. Two are opening everywhere and six more open on a limited basis.
Opening Nationwide on Friday, April 23rd:
Movie: The Back-up Plan (PG-13)
Starring: Jennifer Lopez, Alex O’Loughlin, Eric Christian Olsen, Anthony Anderson & Linda Lavin
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Synopsis: A woman that can’t seem to find “the one” decides to jump ahead to the next step and get pregnant. It just so happens that on the same day she goes ahead with that plan, she meets a guy that has potential. She tries to see if there is really anything there, while also keeping the fact that she is newly pregnant from him. Can this out of order relationship survive?
First Thoughts: The premise sounds interesting, but also sounds like it can’t support an entire movie.
Movie: The Losers (PG-13)
Starring: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chris Evans, Jason Patric, Zoe Saldana & Idris Elba
Genre: Action Thriller
Synopsis: An elite group of commandos are betrayed while on a mission to Bolivia. They are presumed dead, but a mysterious operative finds them and offers them the opportunity to get the person responsible for the betrayal and get their lives back.
First Thoughts: I like a lot of the cast and it looks like a fun ride. It’s based on DC’s Vertigo comic of the same name.
