MPAA Rating:
PG-13 for sexual content, brief nudity and strong language
Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton are paired in this romantic comedy that was written and directed by Nancy Meyers. Sixty-something Harry (Nicholson), who has dated only 20-something women for decades, goes to a beach house with nubile Marin (Amanda Peet). Marin's middle-aged mom Erica (Keaton) shows up there, Harry has a heart attack, and he and Erica spend time together while he convalesces, falling in love along the way.

Tagline:
"What you know about fear ... doesn't even come close."
Length:
98 minutes
MPAA Rating:
R
for strong horror violence/gore, language and drug content
This horror movie is the 2003 remake of the 1974 cult favorite. The new version has much higher production values, the gore is much more explicit, and the evil Sawyer clan of the original is renamed the Hewitts in the remake. Still, the story remains more or less the same: a group of young people (one of whom is played by Jessica Biel) gets lost in Texas and runs into a chainsaw-wielding homicidal maniac wearing a mask of human skin.
