Celeste and Jesse Forever
Celeste (Rashida Jones) and Jesse (Andy Samberg) try to stay friends after splitting up, despite new love interests and persistent sexual chemistry. There's a bond behind the scenes too: Jones co-wrote the screenplay specifically for her buddy Samberg. (8/3)
Hope Springs
No explosions! No threat to humanity! And no superheroes, unless you count Meryl Streep. She reteams with The Devil Wears Prada director David Frankel for a comedy about mild-mannered Kay (Streep) and buttoned-up Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones), who try to recharge their 30-year marriage via couples counseling with therapist Steve Carell. (8/10)
The Campaign
A Republican challenger (Zach Galifianakis) vies for a North Carolina congressional seat after a sex scandal mars the chances of the incumbent Democrat (Will Ferrell). The improv brilliance of the two leads and the echoes of political scandals past (Sanford, Weiner, Edwards ...) bode well, as do the ingenious trailers. (8/10)
