Cycling with Moliere (15)
Entertaining and erudite French comedy, sees Fabrice Luchini and Lambert Wilson playing chalk and cheese actors - one obsessive, theatrical and out of love with the entertainment business, the other a successful TV soap star in search of kudos - informally rehearsing The Misanthrope together, with a view to co-starring in the play. The fact that both have their eyes on the lead role doesn't bode well. And ego, narcissism and a beautiful Italian neighbour all conspire to thwart their prospects.

Much broader comedy is on offer from the US. Melissa McCarthy, who starred alongside Sandra Bullock in last year's girl-buddy cop comedy The Heat, is her customary aggressive and vulgar self, as a luckless working-class woman who decides to put her small-town life behind her and go on the road - with her gran. The fact that gran is played by the still-foxy Susan Sarandon, who starred in the definitive female road movie, Thelma & Louise, may rise one's expectations to a level that can't be met.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
