BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Frances O’Connor To Star In "Lumpy"

NEW YORK, NY – APRIL 29, 2011 —Dave Abbitt, Managing Member of Coll-Abbitt Productions, announced today that Frances O’Connor (Bedazzled) has joined the cast of Ted Koland’s directorial debut “Lumpy” starring Justin Long, Jess Weixler, Tyler Labine and Addison Timlin…

“Frances rounds LUMPY out as the perfect compliment to our already stellar cast,” said Abbitt. “Adeptly maintaining a strong presence while adding an underlying vulnerability to the role of Jaime.”

The best man at Scott (Long) and Kristin’s (Weixler) Arizona destination wedding, Lumpy (Labine) is the life of the party, until a long, indulgent night leads to his untimely death. Forced to cancel their honeymoon and fly back to Minneapolis to arrange for his funeral, Scott and Kristin meet Ramsey (Timlin) and learn that Lumpy isn’t quite who they thought he was.

O’Connor has signed on to play Ramsey’s mother, Jaime. O’Connor has several upcoming films including “The Hunter” with Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill and Marc Cherry’s “Hallelujah.”

The deal was negotiated by Dave Abbitt and Allison Band. O’Connor is represented by The Gersh Agency and Wishlab Inc.

LUMPY is being produced by Dave Abbitt, Jen Roskind, and Sharyn Steele. The film is being shot by Seamus Tierney (Adam, HappyThankYouMore Please). Koland has written and/or produced over eighty hours of one-hour, television drama.

Movie Review: #Vacation

Vacation makes me want to take a STAY-cation. Review by Matt Cummings It's not too often that a movie makes me wish film never existed, yet her I am ready to give the newest Vacation all the hate it deserves. And hate on it I will. Grown-up Rusty (Ed Helms) is stuck in a dull marriage to Debbie (Christina Applegate), who's been forced year after year to spend vacation with her family at a cabin in Michigan. When the overly optimistic Rusty realizes his family needs a change, he packs them up for a trip to Walley World, the site of his greatest trip as a teen. But soon, his family begins to encounter difficulties and flat-out disasters that could end their road trip and return Rusty's marriage back to square one. It might surprise our readers to know that someone from our team actually considered walking out of Vacation , and we get to see these films for free. That's how bad our experience became as we sat mesmerized by its 99 minutes of ineptit...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
