Hey girl, Ryan Gosling wants to drive your car.

If you are looking for something thought-provoking and original to see this weekend, your best option would probably be Gravity. But if you just want a fast-paced slick film with some fight scenes and a lot of shots of people pretty people gambling, then Runner Runner is for you.

If you are looking for a movie to take your dad to see (or a dad looking for something to see this weekend), this is it. It has sports and Clint Eastwood, is completely inoffensive and well-acted and is a pleasant enough way to spend a few hours. But while that may make for a fine bonding experience, it doesn't really make for a memorable movie.

Time actually equals money in Andrew Niccol's (Gattaca, The Truman Show) latest adventure, starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. That analogy is about as heavy-handed as you can possibly imagine and even if you can get past the social commentary, you'll still have to sit through nearly two hours' worth of enormous plot holes, uninteresting mysterious backstories and what is essentially a shoddy mash-up of Logan's Run and Bonnie and Clyde.

It takes Bad Teacher about a half-hour to figure out what kind of a comedy it wants to be and the wait is excruciating at times.
