Writer Jeff Schaffer described the cast of The League as “the Justice League of comedy all-stars,” and if you attended the NY Comic Con panel for Fxx’s smash hit comedy, you’ll know exactly why. It’s not like I needed any more convincing either, as I’ve been watching this hilarious look into Fantasy Football since the very first episode, and haven’t stopped laughing since.
Finishing off my Comic Con experience on a high note, Sunday started off for me with this riotous panel featuring the following talents: writers Jeff Schaffer and Jackie Schaffer, Stephen Rannazzisi, Katie Aselton, Mark Duplass, Jon Lajoie, Jason Mantzoukas, and Paul Scheer. Only missing Nick Kroll, these tremendously funny people showed why The League can rely so heavily on improvisation and still be one of the funniest shows on TV.

There are many, many lines you never want to hear when someone ends a relationship — “it’s not you, it’s me” is probably in the top 3. But, as we’ve seen in the past with movies revolving around doomed relationships, they tend to make a lot of money. Variety has just reported that Vivica A. Fox, Joelle Carter, and Ross McCall have been hired to lead the indie relationship comedy, titled — well, you know — It’s Not You, It’s Me.
Screenwriter Nathan Ives is making his directorial debut, helming a comedy that tells the story of “a thirty-something commitment-phobe who breaks up with the love of his life thanks to conflicting advice from his outrageous, inner voices — and says the only thing he can think of to soften the blow: ‘It’s not you, it’s me.’” Carter (Justified) will be playing the role of the ex-girlfriend, whose...

The Spy Next Door is one of Jackie Chan’s latest Kung Fu master-meets-ordinary-nice-guy movies. The fact that Jackie Chan’s stunts are amazing is hardly up for debate; the quickness and precision of his moves, regardless of how many takes he needs, are typically the central focus of any his movies. The unfortunate part of The Spy Next Door is that the actual fighting he does is pretty sparse. So we’re left with a pretty bland story, one that focuses on his relationship with his girlfriend — who also is his next door neighbor — and her children, and how he is able to break down their tough, children exteriors to get on their good sides.
Jackie plays Bob Ho, a kind gentleman who lives the life of an international spy working for the CIA. This double life he leads is unbeknownst to his girlfriend Gillian, and before he pops the question,...

The Spy Next Door (Blu-Ray)Lionsgate Home Entertainment2010/ Rated PG/94 minsList Price $39.99 – Available NowEven though Jackie Chan is in his fifties and shows no sign of slowing down, his act has become quite old. Inspired by Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, Chan made a career out of incorporating his martial arts training into stunts in films where he played the comedic hero who never gets the girl. So it feels a little strange that in his latest movie we find him as a soon to be retired spy who is ready to settle down and marry his next door neighbor. The opening credit sequence of The Spy Next Door featuring a montage of Chan's earlier films, feel more like a tease, because in those productions he was not limited by the Hollywood studio system. Watching Chan back then you knew it was actually him performing those stunts and the threat...

Chicago – “The Spy Next Door” pairs a man who can’t speak English with three kids who can’t act. They’re forced to recite dialogue credited to three writers who are incapable of writing a single line of wit or originality. Worst of all, the film is directed by a man whose last halfway decent family flick was 1992’s “Beethoven.” Rarely has a mainstream release looked so much like Amateur Hour.
Over the last decade or so, director Brian Levant has specialized in making some of the most crass, annoying and audience-insulting films ever to be aimed at an audience under the age of 13 (they include “Jingle All the Way,” “Snow Dogs,” and the appropriately titled “Are We There Yet?”). The main reason I fell for “Beethoven” upon its initial release was because: a.) I was the age of its intended target audience, and b.) the film starred the woefully underrated Charles Grodin,...

Jackie Chan still has the kicks and stunts, but this time he.s aiming for a younger crowd. The problem is even if the stunts are cool the acting and plot are subpar. Bob Ho (Jackie Chan) wears glasses and works in a pen import business. He is the very definition of geeky. He is dating his next door neighbor Gillian (Amber Valletta). She has three kids, preteen, obstinate Farren (Madeline Carroll), con-man Ian (Will Shadley), and the young Nora (Alina Foley), and none of them much like Bob. What nobody knows about Bob is that he.s a Chinese intelligence agent who is working undercover for the CIA. His boss Glaze (George Lopez) and his partner Colton...

The Spy Next Door sounds like a lesser film in the James Bond cannon, but even that is far too kind a designation for this Jackie Chan movie. The Hong Kong action star uses all of his considerable charm and physicality, but it's not enough to save the film from the clutches of director Brian Levant, who has previously ruined family trips to the movies with Are We There Yet?, The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, and Snow Dogs. If parents think getting conned into watching this is a miserable experience, they should wait for the whine-filled aftermath when they realize their kids didn't like it either.
A retread of The Pacifier by way of Spy Kids, The Spy Next Door stars Chan as Bob Ho, a Chinese agent on loan to the CIA. After just a few months of dating his pretty neighbor Gillian (Amber Valetta), Bob tries to...

By Susan Granger - Jackie Chan is looking for a piece of the lucrative family market with this lame-brained comedy. He plays Bob Ho, a mild-mannered pen importer who moonlights as an undercover CIA agent. He.s just the kind of .honest. guy that his suburban single-mom neighbor Gillian (supermodel Amber Valleta) really wants in her life, but her three kids find him dull as dishwater.
So when Gilliam must leave town to care for a sick relative, boring Bob offers to watch over of her sullen, sarcastic teenage daughter Farren (Madeline Carroll), nerdy technophile son Ian (Will Shandley) and adorable four year-old Nora (Alina Foley) who loves to dress like a Princess, leaving the spy chores to his CIA colleagues (George Lopez, Billy Ray Cyrus) in the Albuquerque office.
Predictably, Bob proves to be totally incompetent around the house. But when Ian accidentally intercepts and downloads on his iPod...

The Spy Next Door (2010) could very well be the go-to family film of 2010, and if that's the case, it might also be the film that's recalled as the one that put Will Shadley on the path to stardom. Jackie Chan stars in the January 15 release as Bob Ho, an ex-spy who winds up caring for the three young children (Shadley, Alina Foley, and Madeline Carroll) of his girlfriend (Amber Valletta) while she's away. As if babysitting three kids isn't enough, Bob's espionage past quickly comes back to haunt him, and suddenly Bob and the kids must join forces to kick some Russian bad-guy butt. ScreenStar recently caught up with Shadley -- a 10-year-old who hails from Florida and is best known for his role as Brian Darling, Jr. on Dirty Sexy Money (TV) -- to discuss The Spy Next Door, talk about how he got into the business, and reveal...

The recent spate of monumentally bad movies for kids featuring popular adult actors is starting to make me think studios are just screwing with us. There’s just no way any sensible human being could think movies like Old Dogs, Shorts, or Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakuel are good or entertaining films that anyone would enjoy. And by “human being” and “anyone,” I especially mean kids. After watching the lame, trite and boring The Spy Next Door, it’s clear to me studio executives are either enjoying watching the masses pay hard-earned money for what passes for a kid’s movie or they simply do not care about what kids want to see. Oh yeah, and they also think all kids are stupid.

Top critics gave Jackie Chan's 'Spy Next Door' movie pretty bad reviews. Lionsgate pictures unleashed it's new Jackie Chan comedy/action flick, "The Spy Next Door" in theaters today. It also stars: Madeline Carroll, Alina Foley, George Lopez, Billy Ray Cyrus, Amber Valletta, and Katherine Boecher. The movie critics sure didn't like this one. They mostly gave it Cs and one D,stating their dislike of the film. Ty Burr from the Boston Globe gave it a C-. He said, "Burnt toast, clogged toilets, and life lessons ensue." Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave it a C-. He stated, "Jackie Chan is 55. Just sayin'." Michael Phillips over at the Chicago Tribune rated it a C-. He stated, "It’s hard to imagine anyone being offended, except fans of good comedy." Bill Gibron at Filmcritic.com gave it a D. He said it was, "egregiously dumb."...

The players: Director: Brian Levant, Writers: Jonathan Bernstein, James Greer, Gregory Poirier, Cast: Jackie Chan, Amber Valletta, Alina Foley, George Lopez, Billy Ray Cyrus
Facts of interest: Brian Levant also directed "Are We There Yet?"
The plot: A former CIA spy has to babysit his girlfriend's kids and protect them from a bunch of weird terrorists at the same time.
Our thoughts: Brian Levant’s “The Spy Next Door” is a terrible film. It’s as dry as a family comedy can get, and it suffers mainly from a chaotic plot, monotonous story and a handful of poor acting performances. Children of a certain age may appreciate Jackie Chan jumping around the screen for 90 minutes, but I stopped caring after the first five minutes.

I understand fully that kids aren't the most discriminating audience in the world, but adults should still hold filmmakers responsible for some measure of quality in regard to family films. The Spy Next Door, brought to us by comedically tin-eared director Brian Levant (Snow Dogs, Jingle All the Way), is just plain lazy on all levels. Not content to rummage through the garbage bins of the action-star-who-can't-take-care-of-kids subgenre, searching for uninspired gags like one in which star Jackie Chan can't cook oatmeal, it also raids the waste baskets for the discarded bits from international superspy kid flicks (a subgenre long stripped bare of any of its original charm after never-ending waves of Spy Kids imitators).
Chan is in full-on clown mode as Chinese Intelligence agent Bob Ho, a spy next door to Amber Valleta's Gillian, who he's also dating, and her three children, teen Farren (Madeline Carroll), precocious Ian (Will Shadley...

Here's the official plot for The Spy Next Door:
Former CIA spy Bob Ho (Chan) takes on his toughest assignment to date: looking after his girlfriend's three kids, who haven't exactly warmed to their mom's beau. And when one of the youngsters accidentally downloads a top-secret formula, Bob's longtime nemesis, a Russian terrorist, pays a visit to the family.
The movie is rated PG and that was probably for the opening montage which covered all the Jackie Chan martial-arts scenes from his past movies. Knowing all that, do you really need to continue to read my review? Of course you do.
Sure this flick is made for the younger audience since it screams wholesome family entertainment. Yes it stays in the mold of all the other movies that cast a big-action star and places them in a kiddie environment. Perhaps the one difference is that this...

Shanghai
Opens: 2010
Cast: John Cusack, Gong Li, Ken Watanabe, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chow Yun-Fat
Director: Mikael Hafstrom
Summary: In the months leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor, an American man arrives in Shanghai to find his friend recently murdered. In investigating his friend's death, he stumbles upon a secret the United States government has been keeping and falls in love in the process.
Analysis: After being granted permission to shoot in the Chinese city, the $10 million production found its permit quickly being revoked by the Government who expressed concerns about the script. The result is Bangkok and the United Kingdom standing in for the real Shanghai which seems kind of against the entire point.
Cusack himself has emphatically endorsed the project in interviews, calling it a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity", but being stuck at the cash-strapped Weinstein Company means that its release plans are unsure beyond a vague promise of a limited bow around Easter.

After he's said that democracy might not suit China a few months ago, it's surprising that Jackie Chan still interests Hollywood producers. Now, let's leave aside politics, dear readers, and focus on the next film from one of the world's leading action stars (but for how long?). After he had missed the opportunity to play in The Pacifier, Chan has nabbed the role of a... babysitter in a film called The Spy Next Door.
Synopsis:
Bob Ho (Jackie Chan) is a top-spy. One day, his neighbour (Amber Valleta) asks him to babysit her three children (Katherine Boecher, Alina Foley and Will Shadley). However, it appears that Bob has to fight mysterious spies after one of the three children under his supervision had inadvertently downloaded secret codes.
