Broadway review: Onstage, gorgeous 'Once' has a heart all its own
![There are plenty of romantic Broadway musicals. But "Once," the gorgeously crafted and intensely moving new show that opened on Broadway on Sunday night after a seamless transition from downtown to the main stem, is part of a much smaller and more rarefied group: musicals that are actually wise — even when that means being counterintuitive — about the joys and anguish of life and love, and that send the viewer's mind spinning with ideas, feelings and maybe even a few changes in personal priorities. "Once" does all that. Several times over.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/column/2012-03/68897781-18201627.jpg "There are plenty of romantic Broadway musicals.

At New York Theatre Workshop, 'Once,' falling slowly into a musical
![NEW YORK - Anyone who caught the Irish guy Glen Hansard and the Czech girl Marketa Irglova playing their gorgeous song "Falling Slowly" on the Academy Awards telecast has a sense of both the strength and fragility of "Once," the haunting, 2006 independent movie drawn from their unlikely story of love on the streets of Dublin. Even at the epicenter of bejeweled commercial hype, this pair seemed curiously untouched, remarkably ordinary and wholly able to sing of the pain and necessity of falling down quietly, but also being able to help someone to get back up.](http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/thumbnails/column/2011-12/66726709-12150747.jpg "NEW YORK - Anyone who caught the Irish guy Glen Hansard and the Czech girl Marketa Irglova playing their gorgeous song "Falling Slowly\" on the Academy Awards telecast has a sense of both the strength and fragility of \"Once,\" the haunting, 2006 independent movie drawn from their unlikely story of love on the streets of Dublin.

Come Out to Play: 'Our Town' at the Nate Katter Theatre in Storrs
![David Patrick Kelly (pictured) stars as the Stage Manager in Connecticut Repertory Theatre's production of Thorton Wilder's <em>Our Town</em>, the most oft-produced play of the 20th century, directed here by Obie Award-winner by Robert Ross Parker. If you're flashing back <em>hard</em> right now to the 1970 film "The Warriors" or the 1984 Dennis Quaid B-movie "Dreamscape" (Kelly starred as the evil dude in both of those), repeat after me: it's not real, it's <em>acting</em>.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-10/65203264-04111008.jpg "David Patrick Kelly (pictured) stars as the Stage Manager in Connecticut Repertory Theatre's production of Thorton Wilder's <em>Our Town</em>, the most oft-produced play of the 20th century, directed here by Obie Award-winner by Robert Ross Parker.

Out on Home Video: 'Due Date' released on home video
![<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">DUE DATE</span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"> (2010/B-/Directed by Todd Phillips/Starring Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis, Michelle Monaghan, Juliette Lewis, Jamie Foxx, Danny McBride, RZA, Matt Walsh/Warner/Rated R/Comedy/95 minutes/Available on: DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack): </span><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Robert Downey Jr. plays buttoned-down Peter Highman, an architect sprouting a Bluetooth from his ear. During his jobs away from home, arrogant Peter counsels his heavily-pregnant wife (Michelle Monaghan), via his Bluetooth, regarding acceptable baby names. Peter appears destined to be a distant and controlling father. His best shot at changing occurs when he becomes trapped on a road trip with self-indulgent ignoramus, Ethan (Galifianakis). After Ethan provokes a scene in an Atlanta airport that lands Peter on the "do not fly list," Ethan persuades Peter to join him for the 2,000 mile drive to their Los Angeles homes. Ethan is traveling with a coffee can containing his father's ashes, and an ugly lap dog named Sonny. Now that his father has died, Ethan hopes to become an actor so that he can appear on his favorite TV show, "Two-and-a-Half Men." Peter preaches the realities of Hollywood to Ethan, but Peter's trying road companion is impervious to either criticism or sarcasm. The charismatic actors successfully sell the film's mean-spirited jokes as does the direction by "Hangover's" Todd Phillips. The thinly-plotted "Due Date" feels as if it was rushed into and through production. The film's saving grace is that it doesn't ask its characters to grow up, get a clue, or become better people. DVD features: Gag reel, English, Spanish or French language tracks, widescreen. 2-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack features same plus: film on DVD and Blu-ray, Digital Copy, full "Two and A Half Men" scene featuring Ethan Tremblay, Additional scenes, Compilation of the physical comedy, too many questions mash-up, English, French or Spanish language tracks, widescreen.</span>](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-03/59767206-01090720.jpg "<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\">DUE DATE</span><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\"> (2010/B-/Directed by Todd Phillips/Starring Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis, Michelle Monaghan, Juliette Lewis, Jamie Foxx, Danny McBride, RZA, Matt Walsh/Warner/Rated R/Comedy/95 minutes/Available on: DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack): </span><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif;\">Robert Downey Jr. plays buttoned-down Peter Highman, an architect sprouting a Bluetooth from his ear.
