I am excited that in the next few weeks I get to review a movie that I have never seen, especially one that is coming from the “chick flick genre” – this is it’s own genre right? “People Like Us” is based on a real life story, which I love, and this one is coming from the same studio that brought us “The Help” so what could go wrong? Also, the amount of bonus material that comes on the “People Like Us” Blu-ray combo pack is exciting! The behind the scenes audio commentary on the Blu-ray version is with all the main actors and the writer/director Alex Kurtzman. Plus one of my favorite bonus features on the Blu-ray edition is Bloopers. I always find it entertaining to watch the actors mess up and become real people so I am looking forward to that part. The whole storyline seems to fit a drama that will turn out predictable and have a good message. I may be surprised in the end…but I doubt it. That is okay though as long as it is well written and the actors do a good job, then it will be enjoyable.
To hear more in depth about what the movie is about in “People Like Us” comes an emotional and inspirational story about a young man’s journey of self discovery as he connects with a family he barely knows. Starring Chris Pine (Star Trek),Elizabeth Banks (Hunger Games), Olivia Wilde (Tron) and Michelle Pfeiffer (Dark Shadows), DreamWorks Pictures releases “People Like Us” – a must-own, heartfelt and relatable story – on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD, Digital and On-Demand on October 2, 2012.
Inspired by true life events, the “People Like Us” Blu-ray Combo Pack comes complete with bonus material that delves deeper into the story that inspired the making of thisgreat film. These extras include audio commentary with filmmakers and talent, an extended scene of L.A.’s popular Henry Taco Stand featured in the film, deleted scenes and bloopers.
“People Like Us” is directed/produced by Alex Kurtzman (Cowboys & Aliens, The Proposal, Star Trek, TV’s “Hawaii Five-O”), written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci (Transformers, Star Trek, Cowboys & Aliens) and Jody Lambert (her first writing debut) and composed by award-winning composer A.R. Rahman (127 Hours, Slumdog Millionaire). Chris Pine, who plays Sam, is a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman whose latest deal collapses the day he learns his father has suddenly died. Against his wishes, Sam is called home to put his father’s estate in order and reconnect with his estranged family. While there, he uncovers a startling secret that turns his entire world upside down — he has a 30-year-old sister (Banks) he never knew existed.
So, coming soon is a full review of the movie and hopefully it will live up to my expectations! So, keep a watch out on Chip & Co. to see the movie and if you have any comments…leave them below!
