CHAMPAIGN

The Meddler

An aging widow (Susan Sarandon) from New Jersey follows her daughter (Rose Byrne) to Los Angeles in the hopes of starting a new life after her husband passes away. Filled with the best of intentions, Director Lorene Scafaria, based the film on her experiences after her father passed away. The result is a sometimes effective look at the blurring of boundaries between family members that may be born of the best of intentions but wind up being intrusive. In the end this is a hit-or-miss affair. 2 stars (Chuck Koplinski) Rated PG-13. 100 minutes.

The Nice Guys

A mismatched pair of private eyes (Russell Crowe & Ryan Gosling) investigate the apparent suicide of a fading p**n star in 1970"s Los Angeles. The humor and chemistry between Crowe and Gosling is an unexpected delight, while the film"s mystery and its solution prove intriguing and satisfying. Unfortunately, the presence of a young character who"s perpetually in danger breaks the spell the cast and Director Shane Black labor so hard to create, preventing the film from reaching its full potential. 2 stars (Chuck Koplinski) Rated R. 116 minutes.

Neighbors 2

After a sorority moves in next door, which is even more raucous than the fraternity before it, Mac and Kelly (Seth Rogan & Rose Byrne) have to ask for help from their former enemy, Teddy (Zac Efron). There"s nothing new here as this film. Much like its predecessor, is filled with great ideas that aren"t developed to their full potential. In the end, this is simply a lazy movie. 2 stars (Chuck Koplinski) Rated R. 92 minutes.
