Tower Heist

Meant to see this in the theatre but it was still good on the small screen. A great cast including Matthew Broderick (is there anyone who has not seen Ferris Bueller??), Ben Stiller (Night at the Museum), Eddie Murphy (Beverly Hills Cop) at his staccato best, Alan Alda (M*A*S*H) and Tea Leoni (The Family Man).
A good story that moves well and another enjoyable rental.

Dolphin Tale

A nice mindless movie based on a true story about a dolphin that loses its tail. Nice performances by Harry Connick Jr. (Hope Floats), Kris Kristofferson (A Star is Born), and Ashley Judd (The Tooth Fairy), with actors I had not seen before: Nathan Gamble and Cozi Zuehisdorff. And starring the actual dolphin, 'Winter'.
Enjoyable rental or to watch with young children.

The Five-Year Engagement

If you liked Bridesmaids, you'll probably like this.
I didn't. Emily Blunt (see Salmon Fishing... post) is, as always, lovely to watch and usually adds a positive aspect to the whole production. But while her rapport with Jason Segel is good, I felt she was miscast.

There is a great scene of two of the characters speaking like Elmo and Cookie Monster - very funny (thus earning an extra 0.5*). The movie is overly long and I found it dragged.

To be fair, the rest of the audience seemed to enjoy it. Check out the director's and writer's previous works and you'll get a solid view of what you're in for -
I wish I had.
