Reese Witherspoon Plays by the Rules
It seems like Reese Witherspoon has been laying lower than usual this year. (She voiced Monsters vs. Aliens, but we haven't seen her face on screen since Four Christmases!) Now her career is speeding up again.
Witherspoon Getting Into the Prescription Drug Business (On Screen)
When I think of pharmaceutical companies I usually yawn, or I think of those drug commercials that include a soothing voice listing off the endless number of terrible-sounding side effects.
Hollywood, however, is finding much to say about big pharmaceutical companies: Last week, Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway signed up to play two people who fall in love thanks to a pharmaceutical company, and now there's news that Reese Witherspoon will get her own prescription drug movie.
The writers of Bad Santa have penned what sounds like a dark comedy about the drug industry titled Pharm Girl in which Witherspoon will play, "a woman who gets a job at a pharma powerhouse but begins to see the underbelly of the industry as she rises through the company's ranks."
Jack Nicholson to Play Paul Rudd's Dad in Rom-Com
This is fun to imagine: Jack Nicholson is in talks to join the cast of an untitled romantic comedy directed by James L. Brooks (Terms of Endearment, As Good as It Gets) as the blueblood father of a character played by Paul Rudd. The cast also includes Reese Witherspoon and Owen Wilson and the story "involves a love triangle, with Rudd playing a white-collar executive vying for Witherspoon's affections, and Wilson portraying a professional baseball pitcher who is also a love interest."

Witherspoon, Giamatti, and Cohen Looking to Downsize
I've been mulling over this movie news all day because it's this bizarre mix of intriguing and "whaaaaaaa?" I'm not sure I've figured it all out entirely, but I'll relay the stuff we know so far.
The good news is that this project, titled Downsizing, will be directed by Alexander Payne, the man behind Election and Sideways.
Four Christmases: A (Very) Light Dash of Holiday Fun
It's most likely that Four Christmases wouldn't be nearly so funny or endearing (though that may be slightly too strong a word for it) if it didn't take place around the holidays. Just watching these family members be mean to each other would probably be merely sad if it weren't juxtaposed with this holiday that is supposed to be at least partially about family togetherness. The premise of the film is gimmicky for sure (four Christmases in one day?), but what happens during those four Christmases is actually a lot of fun to watch.
Movie Preview: Four Christmases
The little taste of Four Christmases in recent TV previews has only made me more curious to see a longer trailer, and now we've got it. As we know, Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn play Kate and Brad, who try to avoid their families around the holidays — but this year is different. Both of them have divorced parents, and they're forced to visit all four of their families for Christmas.
A First Look at Four Christmases
This first snippet from Four Christmases, the forthcoming holiday comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn, has been popping up during various TV shows lately. I missed it during America's Next Top Model last week but finally caught it during the VMAs on Sunday, and now I'm curious to know what you think.
The movie centers on Kate and Brad, who usually find a way to avoid spending Christmas with their families — until this year, when they must visit all four of their divorced parents in a single day.
