Smart People came out on DVD this week.
The well-reviewed movie, which stars Dennis Quaid, Thomas Hayden Church, Sarah Jessica Parker and Ellen Page, includes a blooper reel on its DVD. Here's a look at it:
Smart People delivers a great cast. The romantic comedy stars Dennis Quaid, Ellen Page, Thomas Hayden Church and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Do these stars combine to produce an entertaining, heart warming film? Let's see what a number of movie critics from around the country think about that...
- Smart People is a borderline-excruciating exercise in trying to replicate the eccentric charm of Little Miss Sunshine. -- Slant Magazine
- It could've been much better. The characters don't really progress too far (any developments are too minute to be appreciated), leaving this movie as really just a bunch of A-List names with nothing much else to offer. -- Film Threat
- [Screenwriter] Poirier is a master at dialogue. His script crackles with sharp lines and he gives all his scenes a splendid comic undertow. -- The Hollywood Reporter
- Has enough funny moments and original ideas that it's genuinely enjoyable based on the strength of its script and cast alone. -- ComingSoon.net
Smart People opens this week. The romantic comedy stars Thomas Hayden Church, Dennis Quaid and Sarah Jessica Parker.
All three stars sat down with ComingSoon.net last week to discuss the movie. Here are highlights from the interview:
CS: Can you talk about the other physical aspects from the beard to the walk, it seems like a lot is going on even before you speak? Can you talk about building the character physically?
Quaid: Yeah, I wanted him to have a look to him, very sedentary, someone who is sort of like a sleepwalker or somebody who is emotionally dead in a way and had been for quite some time. Unkempt. I didn't have time to gain the weight so I just put on a fat suit every day, and actually, putting it on is like having the weight on.
It's hard on your back and it changes the way you walk, and the beard is really kind of a protective defense with him in a sense, to hide from the world, or to appear to be very smart.
CS: Sarah, what's the difference between working on a small independent film like this over a major production like the Sex and the City movie where you're not only acting but producing as well?
Parker: Well, sometimes the difference is what might seem like a disadvantage actually. I personally like we had a less than luxurious schedule on this movie. I think they said it was 29 days, and I actually do like that kind of speed.
Big movies tend to have very generous schedules and generous budgets, and you end up doing things over three and four days that you know can be done in an afternoon or a day and a half, and you just think of all the money flying out the window and all the energy that dissipates over the day while you wait and then just producing responsibilities, 'cause both these gentleman know them well, they just change your responsibilities.
Smart People comes out in a little more than three weeks. The comedy stars Dennis Quaid as a pompous professor who suffers from a concussion and ends up falling for his E.R. doctor played by Sarah Jessica Parker.
Smart People also stars Ellen Page and Thomas Haden Church.
Today, we'd like to present you with the movie's movie poster.
As usual, as soon as the movie comes out we'll have reviews, pictures, and quotes ready for you.
Smart People star a handful of stars: Sarah Jessica Parker, Ellen Page, Dennis Quaid and Thomas Hayden Church. It comes out on April 11.
