Movies this weekend?

Opening This Week:

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/l/12_lolaversus.htm> Lola Versus
★★★ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - "Lola Versus" plays like a studio-produced romantic comedy
as made by people who genuinely care about and are invested in their flawed
but kind-hearted protagonist. Greta Gerwig is one of the freshest, most
disarming actors of her generation.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/r/12_rockofages.htm> Rock of Ages
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - Yeah, it's kind of repetitive and something of a mess, but
every time the chords of another classic song strike up, game audiences
will find the movie's eager-to-please, "Don't-Stop-Believin'" charms to be
next to irrepressible.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/t/12_thatsmyboy.htm> That's My Boy
★★ (out of ★★★★)

Nationwide - It's impossible to warm up to "That's My Boy," despite its
many inspired bits. Whereas Adam Sandler is often accused by critics of not
trying hard enough, here he tries too much, and pays roughly the same
consequences.

<http://www.dustinputman.com/reviews/y/12_yoursisterssister.htm> Your
Sister's Sister
★★½ (out of ★★★★)

Select Cities - A pleasant, well-acted semi-love triangle dramedy. Writer-
director Lynn Shelton garners three terrific performances from her leads,
but does so while losing sight of her most promising narrative thread.
