Popular Movie Titles for the Holiday Weekend

With a holiday weekend at hand, there might be time to catch an extra movie. If you’re looking for ideas, here are the five most-rented movies in our area, according to Redbox.

Friends With Benefits (R): Two friends (Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis) add sex to their friendship and, in a stunning plot twist (NOT!), things get complicated.
The Help (PG-13): This will probably be labeled a Chick Flick, though it mixes in class and race relations at the dawn of the civil rights movement. The center of the story line is the hired help (African Americans, of course), are the source for a tell-all book about their wealthy (white) employers. But the real story is in the lives of the women involved. See, Chick Flick.
Kung-Fu Panda 2 (PG): Apparently, there is more than one movie’s worth of material regarding a chubby panda and his martial arts buddies.
The Change-up (R): Two totally different guys – one stable & married, the other a wild & crazy womanizer, end up magically switching lives. Amazingly (again, NOT!), they find that the other’s life is not nearly as awesome as they suspected.
Crazy Stupid Love (PG-13): Guys finds out his wife wants a divorce. Guy’s friend helps him re-enter the dating scene. Guy finds out he can’t change his true self. Yep, date night movie.
