Synopsis:
Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson, Paul Rudd, and Jack Nicholson star in How Do You Know, the new comedy written and directed by James L. Brooks that takes a contemporary and romantic look at the question, 'How do you know?'
Lisa (Witherspoon) is a woman whose athletic ability is the defining passion of her life, having been her focus since early childhood. When she is cut from her team, everything she has ever known is suddenly taken from her. Not knowing what to do, she stumbles toward regular life. In this mode, she begins a fling with Matty (Wilson), a major league baseball pitcher, a self-centered ladies man - a narcissist with a code of honor.
George Madison (Rudd) is a straight-arrow businessman whose complicated relationship with his father, Charles (Nicholson), takes a turn when George is accused of a financial crime, even though he's done nothing wrong. Though he may be headed to jail, George's honesty, integrity, and unceasing optimism may be his only path to keeping his sanity.
Before Lisa's relationship with Matty takes root, she meets George for a first date on the worst evening of each of their lives; she has just been cut, and he has just been served. When everything else seems to be falling apart, they will discover what it means to have something wonderful happen.
Movie Reviews:
“How Do You Know” is a movie which at first appears to have too generic a title with scenes that take twice as long as they should, one which uses a romantic triangle to allow its three principal players to find out more about themselves. At base, each of the three asks “How do you know which is the right person with whom to have a steady relationship?” and in one case “How do you know how to deal with your father who faces twenty-five years in jail when you can keep him free by accepting a sentence of just two or three?” The trio who are triangulated, if you will, are all neurotic, all facing choices as they approach middle age. One has far more financial options than the others, another has the vivaciousness and perky good looks that make one wonder why she does not have a string of boyfriends, while the third may not be magnetic but is the man women choose when they have made the rounds of the jocks and bad boys and want to settle down with the lad who will be a good father for their children.
Brooklyn-born James L. Brooks began work on this film in 2005, seeking to examine the lives of female athletes and to probe "the dilemmas of contemporary business executives, who are sometimes held accountable by the law for corporate behavior of which they may not even be aware." It’s doubtful, given the time that he researched the project, that he was considering the crimes of Bernie Madoff, whose son had just recently committed suicide--a theme found in “How Do You Know” in that the son of a corporate executive is about to be indicted for the crimes of his father. Nonetheless one cannot help thinking of the ways that corporate crime in today’s headline resonates in this story.
On the whole, Brooks examines the balance of power in both romantic and business relationships—how one side may at first be holding the cards until the deck suddenly and almost without warning folds and crashes as the other side gains the advantage. Lisa Jorgenson (Reese Witherspoon) has been bounced for a women’s softball team having arrived at the age of thirty-one. She’s feeling down, rejected, and despite her perky ways and adorable features seems to have no boyfriend. She’s swept off her feet by handsome, famous millionaire major league pitcher Manny (Owen Wilson), who in the movie’s funniest production-design gag thinks he’s impressing her by demonstrating that his wardrobe features women’s clothing in all sizes and an assortment of several dozen toothbrushes, probably of all textures—as well as more towels than you’ll find at the Hilton in San Juan.
She is pursued as well by George (Paul Rudd), a shy fellow (but good listener) who is currently unemployed, having been canned by his own father, Charles (Jack Nicholson) who is in deep trouble with the Justice Department for financial irregularities and facing a 25-year-term which he can evade if his son would take the rap and get off in a couple of years. Some time is spent peering into the troubles of George’s silly and pregnant secretary, Annie (Kathryn Hahn), though the film would have been better if she had been left on the cutting-room floor.
The picture is too studied, each scene taking too long, though to its credit this is not some TV-style sitcom that would find a laugh-track cackling at each bit of slapstick. Brooks, who wrote the script as well as directed, does have something to say about the love lives of people approaching middle age, unattached, fearful of commitment or unable to figure out “How do you know?” reviewed by harvey Karten.
