I've seen a whole lot of movies recently. Not many of them good.
What to Expect When You're Expecting - Only Elizabeth Banks saves this comedy, which has maybe 3 laughs in its 2 hour running time. Have people seen the risible Valentines Day and New Years Eve movies? This is like that, but with pregnancy. Jennifer Lopez = still hot.
Zookeeper - Not as awful as I expected it to be, but still pretty bad. I don't think Kevin James is a movie star, but there's some impressive CGI Nick Nolte is pretty good value as a jailed Gorilla.
Soldier in the Rain - 60s comedy starring Steve McQueen and Jackie Gleason as a pair of Army staffers on a base who use their jobs as requisition officers to give themselves an easier life. Gleason is pretty great, but McQueen completely overdoes his "good ol' boy" routine and the ending is completely ridiculous.
Prudence and the Pill - David Niven is in a loveless marriage to Deborah Kerr when he discovers she's on the pill - but not for him. Deciding the only way he can get a divorce from her without having to pay through the nose, he decides to swap her pills for aspirin, but which causes complications for the maid of the household, who was sneaking the pills on the sly. Niven is always good value, but the subject matter is positively antique, and Kerr is given almost nothing to do.
When Ladies Meet - Joan Crawford stars as an author in love with her publisher, who just so happens to be married and is a bit of a cad. Trying to set her straight is Robert Taylor's journalist, who meets the publisher's wife, Greer Garson, and brings the two ladies together, each not knowing their relationship to one another. More light comedy than melodrama and therefore isn't as heavy going as some of the similar films from the period.
No Kidding - Leslie Phillips plays a man who decides to open his large country house to wealthy children on holiday for the summer in order to pay the rent. They turn out to be a lot of shitbags who need the discipline their high-powered parents never had the time to afford them. Like a lot of comedies in England in the 60s, there's a gentle quaintness to the whole thing which manages to make the film a little easier to like when it's perhaps not as funny as it should be.
