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. ■
