How Do You Know (2010 James L Brooks & scr)

Enjoyed this more than the last couple of times - it's difficult to resist Owen Wilson, Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon at the best of times, and Jack Nicholson isn't hammy. Sub-plot involving pregnant assistant Kathryn Hahn also leads to film's funniest joke involving her, Nicholson and a hospital room. With Molly Price (coach), Shelley Conn, Dominick Lombardozzi, Mark Linn-Baker. Cameo from  Tony Shaloub as an unusually helpful psychiatrist.

Liked Rudd's line "I used to be a bartender to work my way through bartending". I'd like to see him in a serious film.

Shot by Janusz Kaminski on a rare break from Spielberg.
