John Cusack has been my imaginary boyfriend since about middle school

The Contract.

A decent change for Cusack who hasn't done many action/dramas lately. As he ages he seems to be filling the role of father-figure in the movies normally. In that same vein though he is also making his typecast character attitude all the more obvious. Even across genres it felt like the same character.

Still Morgan Freeman is always excellent and this movie was no exception.
A nice little detour from the mainstream circuit but nothing to write home about.

Must Love Dogs.

Oh older people love movies.

Now in reality this is a more typical time in people's lives to find "the one" so it seems appropriate. Yet in Hollywood times its a little weird to watch. Cusack and Lane play they parts nicely but there seems to be too much going on here.

Honestly if they had stuck with the title and put more dogs throughout the piece maybe it would have been a bit more interesting. Worth a watch though when you get sick of all the teenage love affairs that usually plaster the cinema.
