It's the reunion we've waited a lifetime for. Well, not really. The usually stellar Keanu Reeves and the always welcome Wynona Ryder first appeared together in one of Revees' most critically derided and divisive movies. One his most hardcore fans find hard to defend. Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula. Now, the pair are ready to give the world another taste of their unique chemistry, and it allows both actors to return to a genre they long ago abandoned, the romantic comedy. This is actually pretty exciting.

Keanu Reeves (The Matrix trilogy, John Wick, John Wick: Chapter Two) and Academy Award Nominee and Golden Globe Winner Winona Ryder (Girl Interrupted, Stranger Things) will star in Victor Levin's (5 to 7) comedy Destination Wedding, from Levin's original script. Sunshine Pictures' Gail Lyon is producing with Two Camel Films' Elizabeth Dell. Robert Jones is producing for The Fyzz Facility, which is fully financing the film.

Keanu Reeves (The Matrix trilogy, John Wick, John Wick: Chapter Two) and Academy Award® Nominee and Golden Globe® Winner Winona Ryder (Girl Interrupted, Stranger Things) will star in Victor Levin’s (5 to 7) comedy Destination Wedding, from Levin’s original script. Sunshine Pictures’ Gail Lyon is producing with Two Camel Films’ Elizabeth Dell. Robert Jones is producing for The Fyzz Facility, which is fully financing the film. Elevated’s Cassian Elwes and The Fyzz Facility’s Wayne Marc Godfrey are executive producing. Principal photography recently wrapped in central California.

Destination Wedding tells the story of two miserable and unpleasant wedding guests, both pariahs at this affair, who develop a mutual affection despite themselves. But to act on those feelings would be to trust hope over experience, a foolish choice indeed.

Destination Wedding sees Reeves and Ryder renew a fan-favorite on-screen partnership that began with...

Legacy, one of the standouts from "So You Think You Can Dance's" sixth season, is a fan of another Fox reality competition show.

Born Jonathan Perez, the b-boy makes time for "American Idol" despite his busy, dance-filled schedule.

"I've seen some of the audition process," Legacy told Zap2it in a phone interview. "I enjoy that part and if I can TiVo after that I try to sit down and watch to see who is my favorite and who has potential."

He especially supports Ellen DeGeneres, who made her debut at the judges table on Tuesday night's (Feb. 9) Hollywood Week episode.

"I think it's great. She brings the comedy, that sensibility," he said. "I've performed for her before on her show, on her 50th birthday. I've been connected with performing over there for a while. When we got kicked off, we got the chance to dance for her, Mollee [Gray] and I.

The teen-aimed “dance flick” genre has surfaced in that broiling ocean of cynical film developments which also sees the “cheerleader flick” and “gymnastics flick” genres floating about like box office icebergs waiting to assail the good taste of the casual filmgoer. If you couldn’t stomach Step Up, Stick It, or Bring It On, then rest assured B-Girl has absolutely nothing for you. B-Girl has no audience outside the most forgiving consumers of the above genres, and even then it just might grate on their patience. Why? Because it’s barely even a film. The other exploitations of teenage crazes usually feature a meager story about a team banding together, a budding romance, or even an inspirational teacher moment. B-Girl has some of each, but only barely because B-Girl hardly has a plot at all.

Any narrative or dialogue does little more that provide filler between repetitive scenes of Angel...
