I’m sure at one point the well cast ensemble comedy Table 19 showed a lot more potential on the page than the final results suggest. It’s the kind of film where immediately one can tell there’s a disconnect between the script, the performances, and the direction, suggesting that while the results are entertaining at times, no one was on the same page.
New this week on home video: Timothy Olyphant tries to survive a town of infected killers in The Crazies; John Cusack goes on a wild ride through the eighties in Hot Tub Time Machine; Paul Bettany plays Charles Darwin in the drama, Creation; and a look at Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
