There’s a reason, beyond basic Judd Apatow oversaturation, that hardly anyone went to see his mewl of middle-aged despair This Is 40. A movie about a marriage already in progress — as opposed to one about a marriage just waiting to happen, the province of the romantic comedy — is…
Harland Williams is one lucky guy. He managed to score small but important roles in some of the biggest movies of the ’90s, like Dumb & Dumber (in which he drank pee) and There’s Something About Mary. But his signature moments, like accidentally killing a horse with Funyuns in Half…
With his fluttery falsetto and haughty gaze, Ruben, the flamboyantly gay, ambivalently Jewish 20-something hero of the new French comedy Let My People Go!, is the kind of big-screen character usually relegated to the sidelines. It’s refreshing to see him front and center, gamely played by Nicolas Maury, gangly limbs…

Most people tend to know only a handful of things about Scotland: bagpipes, haggis, Scotch, kilts, and Mel Gibson. We get it: Those things are either pretty gross — haggis — or pretty cool. Who doesn’t love those epic scenes in Braveheart? Or Scotch? If you’re looking to get your…
If one of your best friends barks or purrs, odds are you are an animal lover. And if you are an animal lover, you will not want to miss the 23rd-annual Walk for the Animals, hosted by the Humane Society of Broward County, on Saturday. The walk, which will take…
Every city has its nickname. New York is the Big Apple. New Orleans: the Big Easy. Philly is the City of Brotherly Love. And then there’s Fort Lauderdale: AKA Fort Liquordale. Obviously, we’re best-known for one thing — drinking. So it would be rather fitting that the city named after…
Us versus them: It’s the story of the South Florida art scene, with Miami against, well, basically everyone else. Wynwood-based Locust Projects is seeking to bridge that gap this weekend with a special field trip north of the Miami-Dade County line. The Miami art institution has organized a Palm Beach…

There comes a point in every adult’s life when the mass-produced canvases from IKEA fail to impress. This weekend’s Las Olas Art Fair Part II is an avenue to explore the possibilities of trading in factory-made “art” for the kind of handcrafted works that grownups use to build a collection…

Chicago isn’t the only flapper-friendly musical out there. Thoroughly Modern Millie is the Broadway showstopper about a small-town girl looking to make it big in the Big Apple. And how else does a gal do that but through singing, dancing, and trying to find a rich man to marry? Thoroughly…

Through their raucous, monthly hip-hop-infused open-mic nights, Homeroom organizers hope to shatter the beret-wearing, incense-burning, dim-lit-coffeehouse image that exists of Spoken Word.
