A Dog’
s Way Home, set to open here
Friday, Jan. 11, is a heartwarming
story about Bella, an adorable puppy
adopted by Lucas (Jonah
Hauer-King, 23), a young
medical student. The pair is
inseparable until Bella gets
lost and must travel 400
tough wilderness miles to
get back to her beloved
owner. The supporting cast
includes Ashley Judd and
Bryce Dallas Howard (as
the voice of Bella). This is
the first big film role for
the handsome Hauer-King.
He’
s had a lot of Brit TV
roles, including a major
part in the recent British
production of Little Women
as “Laurie” (shown on
PBS). Jonah’
s British father,
Jeremy King, 60ish, is a
famous U.K. restaurateur.
His American mother,
Debra Hauer, 60, was a
theater producer and now
is a therapist. Jonah, who
has a Cambridge University
degree in theology and
religious studies, told
his college magazine he
frequently visits the San
Francisco Bay Area, where
his mother grew up, and
that he grew up in a “North
London Jewish family.”
The Upside is a com-
edy/drama about how a
recently paroled ex-convict
(Kevin Hart) improbably
gets a job as the personal
attendant of a paralyzed
billionaire (Bryan Cranston).
Julianna Margulies, 52,
has a biggish supporting
role as “Lily.” By the way,
if you visit U-M in Ann
Arbor, you might notice the
“Kenneth G. Lieberthal and
Richard H. Rogel Center for
Chinese Studies.” Kenneth
Lieberthal, 75, is a retired
U-M professor whose attor-
ney son, Keith, has been married to
Margulies since 2007. They have one
child together.

What Men Want is a re-make of
What Women Want, a 2000 Nancy
Meyers’
film in which a man, after an
electric shock, could “magically” hear
women’
s thoughts. In the remake, due
out in early February, Ali, an African-
American woman and a sports agent,
is constantly boxed-out
of good clients by male
colleagues. After drinking a
weird concoction, she can
read men’
s thoughts and
things go a lot better for
her. The director is Adam
Shankman, 54, (The
Wedding Planner). Josh
Brener, 34, (Silicon Valley)
and Max Greenfield, 38,
(New Girl) have supporting
parts.

ON NETFLIX
The 10-episode Israeli TV
drama When Heroes Fly
will premiere on Netflix
on Thursday, Jan. 10. This
Hebrew-language, English-
subtitled series tells the
story of four veterans of a
special IDF commando unit
from the 2006 Lebanon
War who reunite, 11 years
later, for a final mission.
They will try to rescue the
girlfriend of one of the
commandos. She was kid-
napped by a drug cartel in
Columbia. Tomer Kapon,
33, a real-life paratrooper
commander in the Lebanon
War, plays one of the vet-
erans. If you viewed the
Israeli series Fauda, also
on Netflix, you’
ll recognize
Kapon.
Premiering Jan. 11 on
Netflix is the original film
The Last Laugh. Chevy
Chase plays Al Hart, a
retired talent manager who
reunites in a retirement
community with his first
client, a comic named
Buddy Green (Richard
Dreyfuss, 71). Buddy quit
showbiz 50 years ago,
but Al convinces him to hit
the road for a cross-coun-
try comedy tour. Andie McDowell and
Lewis Black, 70, have supporting
roles. ■
