Something Borrowed is a film that is mildly entertaining, extremely forgettable and unable to make up its mind if it's a buddy movie or a romantic comedy. The finale, in particular, suffers from this genre dithering but, nevertheless, it might still be one to watch when it reaches DVD land but driving to the theater, no matter how close it happens to be, is a definite no-no. Opens in Thailand - 5 May 2011. Estonia - 6 May 2011. UK - 6 May 2011. USA - 6 May 2011. Czech Republic - 12 May 2011. Greece - 12 May 2011. Singapore - 12 May 2011 and in Poland - 27 May 2011.
Passion Play When a member of the press told Mickey Rourke, the star of Passion Play, that his latest movie was getting a limited release, Rourke's response was "That's because it's not very good" , which is a pretty accurate description. It's vague, it's silly, and it's really not very good at all. DVD and Blu-ray - 31st May

THE HANGOVER PART 11 is actually a remake of The Hangover we just saw, and watching this so soon after the first is a bit like spending the evening with an ageing aunt who's suffering from dementia. After the first 10 minutes you start to feel like you're being punished for something you know you didn't do. Read the Joint Synopsis for The Hangover and The Hangover Part II
