Alice says go see 'Home'

Home features Jim Parsons, Rihanna, Steve Martin, and Jennifer Lopez.
DreamWorks

This week Alice watched Home, with Jim Parsons and Rihanna, Get Hard, the buddy-comedy starring Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart, and Danny Collins, a movie about an aging pop star who tries to change his life.

Home, the latest from DreamWorks, is about an alien on the run from his own people, who lands on Earth, and meets an adventurous teenager who is on a quest of her own. Alice really enjoyed this movie, and says it's fun for the kids but also for the adults.

Get Hard is about an investment guru who gets sentenced to hard time for fraud and embezzlement. Alice says although this movie is full of stereotypes, it's a great pairing for Ferrell and Hart and she hopes to see them together again in future movies.

Danny Collins stars Al Pacino as the title character, an aging pop-star who just keeps touring his old stuff and can't move forward, when he receives an old letter that changes his viewpoints. Alice thought Pacino was wonderful and managed to not be too over-the-top.
