Down with Love (in Film)
During the 1960s, Doris Day and Rock Hudson were the best of friends on and off the set. Together, they made a couple of films that were funny and whimsical. In a throwback to the era, Director Peyton Reed has crafted a fanciful yet different film in Down With Love, a fluff film that sparkles despite its main leads having no chemistry.

Daddy Day Care (in Film)
Daddy Day Care is a very funny film that will cater to all families. Predictable from start to finish, the film has a fine execution.
