James L. Brooks has made several fantastic and award-winning films in the distant past, but not so much in the recent past. That doesn't bode particularly well for his latest film, How Do You Know. He has a nice cast of Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, and Jack Nicholson. In contrast, he also has Owen Wilson, which sucks quite a bit. This should be the perfect formula, but James L. Brooks has simply lost his way. Jack Nicholson hasn't been given a truly magnificent role in quite some time, and I'm still waiting. However, he does have a great on screen presence, especially when given juicy lines with big words. I'm not going to see How Do You Know, as my plate is very much full. Still, take a look at this clip and decide for yourself.
