True Story 's manipulative nature betrays itself at the bitter end. Review by Matt Cummings In Rupert Goold's True Story , NY Times writer Mike Finkel (Jonah Hill) is disgraced when news of his embellishment of a featured piece leads to his dismissal and blackballing. While desperately searching for another patron, he receives a call that the murderer Christian Longo (James Franco) has been using Finkel's name and title during his run from the law.

Laggies offers us nothing new, and a lead we can do without. Review by Matt Cummings Romantic Comedies seem to be on their way out: once the staple of Date Night, these estrogen-fests lurk on fantasy television programs wrapped around vampires and medical dramas. The reason for this change: Rom-Coms no longer make money, as Hollywood sets its sights on big returns from Horror and Superhero flicks. Sadly, the Lynn Shelton-directed Laggies does more to prove the genre's problems than solve them. For professional misfit Megan (Keira Knightley), every day is a struggle to stay focused on the prize: hanging out at her parent's house watching TV, with no motivation or career prospects, and watching her high school chums get married, have kids, and succeed in their careers. After Megan's boyfriend (Mark Webber) attempts an ill-advised marriage proposal at their friend's wedding - in which she also sees her father cheating with another woman - Megan runs off to...
