THE BUZZ: I'm one of those people who think that Farrelly Brothers have directed two classic comedies -- Kingpin and Shallow Hal -- and reinvented the mainstream comedy with There's Something About Mary. I also think Jim Carrey is as funny now as he was on "In Living Color", and it was inevitable to see one of his former characters introduced to an entirely new generation. But Lloyd Christmas?

THE BUZZ: At first glimpse I dismissed this film as a Lifetime version of The Bodyguard. But after watching the emotional first trailer I was pleasantly surprised to discover the film was written and directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. I was a big fan of both Love & Basketball and The Secret Life of Bees, and so I'm looking forward to seeing her latest film after a six-year break. I'm confident Gina's strong storytelling will take this familiar concept to a new level.
