How Do You Know

Expectations weren't super high for How Do You Know but thanks to a largely likable cast it is definitely above average.

Reece Witherspoon plays Lisa, a pro-softballer who finds herself in unfamiliar territory when she is cut from the team. She's casually seeing Matty (Owen Wilson), a baseballer, who is self centred but fun.

Not far away George (Paul Rudd) discovers he is the centre of a federal legal case into fraudulent activity within his firm - while he is calling Lisa to organise a blind date after being given her number.
George's dad Charles (Jack Nicholson) attempts to control the situation and protect his own interests at the same time.

It turns out that Charles and Matty live in the same building and Lisa and George meet following a disastrous first date and he starts to fall for her.
Thus begins a love triangle.
The story isn't a new one really but it is the cast that brings it to life. Witherspoon and Rudd are very likable while Wilson is a bit annoying and may be miscast. Nicholson, as always, commands your attention and steals every scene.
Rudd is the centre of the movie and his character is perfect for him, and you've really got to feel for him at times.

A couple of the side characters are fun and add to the light hearted moments.
This is probably more of the sort of film you'd watch at home rather than in the cinema, it's not a must see but I enjoyed it. A 7 out of 10.
