New Films on VOD for the Week of November 15
On Demand Weekly provides new movie previews of hot movies on demand from the POV of watching from the comfort of your home. Today’s previews: THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT, CATS & DOGS: THE REVENGE OF KITTY GALORE, LOTTERY TICKET
Demand It! Same Day As DVD. Co-starring Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, and Mark Ruffalo, “The Kids Are All Right” is a successful indie release about a lesbian couple (Bening, Moore) whose grown children decide to look up their sperm-donor father (Ruffalo). Because their children want a relationship with their biological father, the moms accept him into their family life, resulting in a radical shake-up of their marriage. Near-universally praised by critics, the film is an uplifting comedic drama about modern family values.
Annette Bening, Mark Ruffalo. R / 104 minutes / Available 11/16
CATS & DOGS: THE REVENGE OF KITTY GALORE
Skip It. Same Day As DVD. Starring an all-star voiceover cast including Bette Midler, James Marsden, Nick Nolte, and Christina Applegate, this pointless sequel features a kitty spy gone rogue whose actions force cats and dogs to work together. A snoozer for adults, a less-discerning children’s audience might still enjoy it.
Bette Midler, Nick Nolte. R / 82 minutes / Available 11/16
LOTTERY TICKET
Skip It. Starring Bow Wow, with roles by Brandon T. Jackson, Ice Cube, and Loretta Devine, this cliché comedy features a likeable Foot Locker employee (Bow Wow) who wins a $370 million lottery ticket but can’t cash it in until after the Fourth of July holiday weekend. Once word gets out about his ticket, friends and foes line up for a piece of the pie. Occasionally funny with a nice moral message, the film does not tread any new ground.
Brandon T. Jackson, Ice Cube. PG-13 / 99 minutes / Available 11/16
