Cut out “Moms.” From Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the headaches behind The Hangover, comes Moe (Mila Kunis), Larry (Kristen Bell) and dirty Curly (Kathryn Hahn) in a Three Stoogettes comedy made by men, but geared for a woman. I’d trade a hundred Melissa McCarthy slob turns for just five …

Write hard, direct hard, act hard. Laugh light, if at all. Neal Brennan’s high-pressure capitalist satire, on a travelling team of mercenary car salesmen summoned to Temecula for a Fourth-of-July blowout, takes continual leave of sense and senses in pursuit of jokes. With Jeremy Piven, Ving Rhames, David Koechner, Kathryn …
More Cheech than Chong, Ned (Paul Rudd) is no idiot, but his goof-along sweetness and lack of drive make him an easy butt for the jokes and verdicts of his more structured sisters. They are richly played by Kathryn Hahn, Elizabeth Banks, Emily Mortimer, and Zooey Deschanel (who often seems …
