When you’ve created one of the most critically acclaimed and most-watched TV shows on the air today, you have some freedom to write your own ticket.  Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner will use that freedom to make his feature debut with the romantic comedy You Are Here starring Jennifer Aniston, Bradley Cooper, and Zach Galifianakis.  According to Variety, Weiner first wrote the film during his days as a writer on The Sopranos and was planning to spend of his Mad Men hiatus to direct the film.  However, scheduling issues regarding the next season of Mad Men have pushed You Are Here into 2011 but apparently Aniston, Cooper, and Galifianakis will juggle their schedules once the film has a firm start date.

Despite Hollywood’s September slowdown, studios are still sending plenty of movies into theatres.  Few of this year’s fall freshmen are connecting with audiences, however.  Like Tyler Perry’s “I Can Do Bad All By Myself” one week ago, this weekend’s box office had room for only one hit out of four attempts - Sony Animation’s “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”.  The CGI adaptation of the popular children’s book brought in an estimated $30 million in its first three days for over $9,000 per screen.  When measured against competing titles like “Jennifer’s Body” and “Love Happens” that’s damn near a landslide of cash.

Of this weekend’s four new films, there wasn’t much doubt about who was going to claim the top spot on Friday.  In the wake of the R-rated revolution of August, Sony’s family-friendly “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” had a good shot at a great opening weekend even without the added attraction of the toon’s 3D format.  The studio was hoping for a weekend total around $20 million but, after adjusting their expectations as Friday’s numbers rolled in, it looks like the final 3-day tally will be closer to $30 million.  20^th Century Fox also had to adjust their expectations after Friday’s debut of “Jennifer’s Body”.  The long-awaited Megan Fox/Diablo Cody horror-hybrid debuted with a truly dismal $2.8 million… not quite the second place finish that many predicted.  Second went instead to Steven Soderbergh’s “The Informant!”, though at only $3.6 million no one at Warner Brothers is doing back-flips.  And the news wasn’t much better for Jennifer Aniston and Aaron Eckhart in “Love Happens”.  To watch Hollywood’s A-listers suffocate further under Sony’s falling food, check back tomorrow.

Opening September 18^th is the latest Jennifer Aniston dramedy “Love Happens”. The only reason I’m willing to give this a chance is her co-star is Aaron Eckhart. He’s a good actor and he’s always been super nice when doing interviews. But if he wasn’t in it…

Anyway, while this genre isn’t my thing, for many of you out there, this is why you go to the movies. And really…who am I to judge, as you probably wonder why I get super excited for any sci-fi film. So if you’re curious, after the jump are 5 clips from the film, along with the synopsis. Take a look.

I’ll admit it.  My fiancée made me do it.  She squealed with joy as I presented the possible things I could review.  I absolutely had to get this because I am *that* into her.  (One should note, she’d read the book and she’s already watched this DVD twice.)

Me, on the other hand… I came to the property cold.  I found a series of interlocking vignettes, some better than others, in the vein of Love Actually.  This film shares many traits with that one - a powerful and recognizable cast being the most prevalent.  However, this film is often on the opposite side of the coin because the title says it all He’s Just Not That Into You.

More after the jump:

Universal Studios has just released the first trailer for their new romantic dramedy “Love Happens” and it’s after the jump. The film stars Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Aniston and it’s about a self-help author (Eckhart) who unexpectedly meets the one person (Aniston) who might finally be able to help him help himself.

Sorry for ruining the movie for all of you…but I’m going to guess it all works out in the end.

All kidding aside, while this genre doesn’t interest me in the slighest, millions of you do watch this because if you didn’t, the studios would stop making them. So if you’re interested, you can check out the first poster, images and the trailer after the jump.

In a sane universe, any film called “Bounty Hunter” would be an insane action spectacle with so much testosterone that your body would be forced to overcompensate with estrogen and you would get bitch tits.  You would walk out of the theatre looking like Meat Loaf in “Fight Club”.

But we live in an insane universe and “Bounty Hunter” is a romantic comedy starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler and will probably not make one Boba Fett reference.  Aniston plays Casidy, a woman who jumps bail and Butler plays the hunter who goes after her.  Oh, and she just happens to be his ex-wife.  They may end up falling love again.  Just a wild guess right there.

According to THR, the film has received a little saving grace in the form of “Saturday Night Live’s” Jason Sudeikis who has come on board to play Stewart, a work friend of Casidy who mistakenly thinks he’s her boyfriend and goes off searching for her when she goes missing.  Unfortunately, he’ll soon realize that while he’s funnier that Casidy’s ex-husband/bounty hunter, his tragic flaw is one most of us share: we will never look like Gerard Butler.  You can’t really compete with that bag of handsome.

The film is directed by Andy Tennant (”Fool’s Gold”) and written by Sarah Thorp (”Twisted”) and if you think this film is gonna be great, you’re adorable.  Hopefully, the talented Sudeikis will find himself in some better and more prominent roles in the near-future.
