Jay Jablonski Movies
Actor Jay Jablonski enjoyed guest assignments on series including CSI: NY, Bones, and ER, but attained movie stardom courtesy of his multifilm professional partnership with writer/director Jason Todd Ipson, a child prodigy turned surgeon and professor of medicine at Tufts and Harvard University who found his true calling as a movie director. Jablonski and Ipson first collaborated on the medical-themed thriller Unrest, about a first-year med student confronted by a vengeful spirit, then reteamed in 2007 for the ethnic comedy Everybody Wants to Be Italian, with Jablonski as a fishmonger bound and tied to an obsession with an ex-girlfriend, who feigns being Italian to impress a blind date from Boston's North End. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
A floundering MIT graduate sends out the '80s with a bang after being invited to an end-of-summer bash by his former high school crush in this nostalgia-flavored comedy starring Topher Grace, Anna Faris, and Dan Fogler. Matt Franklin (Grace) has just graduated from MIT, but he's content to spend his days stacking the shelves of his local Suncoast Video instead of going to work for a Fortune 500 company. Meanwhile, his sarcastic twin sister, Wendy (Faris), knows he can do better, and his best friend, Barry (Fogler), has a wild streak the size of the Mississippi River. When Tori Frederking (Teresa Palmer) happens into the video store one day and strikes up a conversation with Matt, he compulsively lies about having a job at Goldman Sachs. Incredibly, Matt and Tori hit it off, and she invites him to join her for a massive summer blowout. The opportunity of a lifetime finally within reach, Matt arrives at the party in style, intent on sweeping Tori off her feet. Later, somewhere between the stolen car and the epic dance-off, Matt, Tori, Wendy, and Barry realize that this is the night they will still be thinking about when they're old and gray, and the neon-drenched '80s are just a distant memory. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
