A Clip from Josh Radnor’s New Movie
— by RACHEL COYNE — If you’re a fan of “How I Met Your Mother” and Ted is your favorite character (which is just ridiculous, since it’s go Barney or go home), then “Happythankyoumoreplease” may be your cup of tea. Your cup of poorly-punctuated tea… Josh Radnor attempts to[...]
Under Review: ‘When in Rome’

Why rebooting Spider-Man makes sense
