Love him or hate him, James L. Brooks puts a unique twist on the romantic comedy. Be it As Good As It Gets, Broadcast News, or Spanglish, they are anything but conventional, part of which is why general movie-goers are divided on their feelings for his films. His latest effort seems to continue that trend, which can be seen by the trained trailer-evaluating eye in this terribly edited trailer.
Starring Paul Rudd, Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, and Jack Nicholson, How Do You Know is a “romantic comedy centered on the love triangle between professional softball player Lisa Jorgenson, a corporate executive, and a major-league pitcher.” Regardless of how it looks, the cast alone should be enough to get people in the seats. And if you’re looking for a date movie, this might be better than most of the romantic comedy garbage that gets churned out nowadays.
