“Into the Woods” is a modern twist on several of the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), Jack and the Beanstalk (Daniel Huttlestone), and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy)—all tied together by an original story involving a baker and his wife (James Corden & Emily Blunt), their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the witch (Meryl Streep) who has put a curse on them.

Rob Marshall, the acclaimed filmmaker behind the Academy Award®-winning musical “Chicago” and Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” directs the film, which is based on the Tony®-winning original musical by James Lapine, who also penned the screenplay, and legendary composer Stephen Sondheim, who provides the music and lyrics. Produced by Marshall, John DeLuca, “Wicked” producer Marc Platt and Callum McDougall, “Into the Woods” will be released in theaters Dec. 25, 2014.

DreamWorks Pictures Presents People Like Us on Blu-Ray Giveaway

People Like us is one of the best movies from last year. Chris Pine is quickly becoming my favorite actor because he’s so charming, it just seems to come so naturally to him and in People Like Us he’s a detestable character but his charm and how he changes his attitude makes you just weak in the knees.

From the studio that brought you the award-winning blockbuster “The Help,” comes an emotional and inspirational story about a young man’s journey of self discovery as he connects with a family he barely knows. Starring Chris Pine (Star Trek), Elizabeth Banks (Hunger Games), Olivia Wilde (Tron) and Michelle Pfeiffer (Dark Shadows), DreamWorks Pictures releases “People Like Us” – a must-own, heartfelt and relatable story – on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD, Digital and On-Demand on October 2, 2012.

“Charming, funny…and heartfelt”

– Scott Mantz,Access Hollywood

The story is inspired by true life events. The “People Like Us” Blu-ray Combo Pack comes complete with bonus material that delves deeper into the story that inspired the making of this great film. These extras include audio commentary with filmmakers and talent, an extended scene of L.A.’s popular Henry Taco Stand featured in the film, deleted scenes and bloopers.

I saw the movie in the theater and I truly loved it. I’m excited to get to own a copy because it’s just a spectacular movie of family and heart and dysfunction at it’s best. The worst family can become the best family when they all stop and listen to each other and learn from mistakes. And sometimes you’ll be surprised about the reasons behind a decisions that you never agreed with and ended up hating someone for. If that confuses you?????

Go watch the movie.

DreamWorks People Like Us Fantastically Funny and Real

June 28, 2012 by Momstart 14 Comments

I’ve seen People like us twice now and loved it even more the second time. The story is inspired by true events, Sam, a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman, is tasked with fulfilling his estranged father’s last wishes—delivering an inheritance to a sister he never knew he had. Starring Chris Pine, Elizabeth Banks, Olivia Wilde and Michelle Pfeiffer, PEOPLE LIKE US opens in theaters June 29.

I have to admit that I just really like watching Chris Pine on the big screen, the first thing I really noticed him in was Star Trek, no I take that back, he was in The Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement. In People like us he’s living the fast life as Sam. The child who felt like his dad didn’t care about him at all. He grew up with lies in his home which seems to be more and more common in houses these days. Then when his father dies, he finds out that he has a sister. Because he was supposed to give her the money, he finds out that her story is an interesting one too, she felt the same way about their dad that he did. Sam befriends her and she starts to develop feelings for him too.

People like us made me laugh, cry and think of my own screwed up family. I felt like the movie was so real and I was amazed that even after seeing it the second time I was still crying at how special the ending was. The actors all worked really well together. Michelle Pfeiffer was amazing and so natural at playing a mom who really did care about her child. Chris Pine has so many different emotions inside him and cocky has always been something he’s quite good at, so seeing him go from cocky to vulnerable made me well up. I highly recommend People Like Us as a movie for everyone. It’s a great family movie, a great couples date night movie. Yes there is language, but no violence or sex. People Like Us will make you feel in some way or another. Go see it in theaters Friday.
