Capone says James L. Brooks' HOW DO YOU KNOW is a romantic-comedy for grown folks!!!
Published on: Dec 17, 2010 10:01:24 CST

Don't you dare discount this latest work from writer-director James L. Brooks (BROADCAST NEWS, AS GOOD AS IT GETS, TERMS OF ENDEARMENT) simply because the trailer makes it look like a paint-by-number romantic comedy. Brooks is the master of the tragi-comedy, and while I doubt there's anything in HOW DO YOU KNOW that will make your eyes well up, there is a great deal of unexpectedly strong material here well worth your time and money.
HOW DO YOU KNOW isn't a movie loaded with music montages, shopping sprees, or any of the other familiar romantic-comedy sins against humanity. This is a movie about adults whose lives are changing at a time in their lives when they probably thought such changes were a thing of the past. HOW DO YOU KNOW is a keeper, and like most characters in Brooks' films, I want to know how these folks turn out 5 or 10 years down the road. That's about the highest compliment I can pay a filmmaker.

But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
