The upper world is populated only by the rich, while the poor are doomed to walk the floors rather than ceilings. Visually, the film looks quite spectacular and is certainly an interesting premise . Early reviews suggest it is let down by poor writing. [ Critical : 28 % ] [public : 6,3 ]

- APRIL -

The Big WeddingStarring: Robert De Niro, Katherine Heigl, Diane Keaton, Ben Barnes Address: Justin Zackham Departure: April 26, 2013

A long divorced couple (De Niro and Keaton) is forced to pretend they are still happily married to (Barnes) at the wedding of her foster son, to keep her strictly religious biological mother happy. Once your family and friends find the joke soon snowballs. Remake of the 2006 Swiss film 'Mon frère se Mari', which in itself was not particularly embraced by the public. The large set includes Susan Sarandon, Amanda Seyfried, Topher Grace and Robin Williams (who is unbearable without grace in the trailer). Ben Barnes, a British actor, is playing a Colombian, which is a bit weird. Overall, it seems a pretty decent romantic comedy-of-errors if you like that sort of thing. [Critics: 7%] [public: 5,3]

At the height of his career, Charles Dickens ( Fiennes ) begins an affair with a young woman (Jones ) , a relationship that lasts until death. Adapted by screenwriter of ' Shame ' and ' The Iron Lady ' and directed by Fiennes himself, his second feature film after " Coriolanus " . The critical response has been mixed with many praising the period detail and the actions of drivers, and others saying it is too repressed and stuck in cliche period. Looking betray the protagonist his wife will be uncomfortable - I would be more interested in a biog about the author and his inspirations for social commentary than a story of forbidden love. Again the real Charles Dickens was apparently much worse, harass countless young and be horrible for all women, without exception , so ... [ Critical : 70 %] [ public :6,5]
