Tough times for Katherine Heigl. Not only was she put on full-blast by Mila Kunis in the trailer for summer rom-com Friends With Benefits , but her own summer film has been yanked from the schedule altogether. The Heigl-led adaptation of Janet Evanovich’s One of the Money had been set for release on June 3 (opposite X-Men: First Class ), but Lionsgate pulled it off the calendar with the hopes of finding a date that felt “right.” The studio is apparently still looking; Money is currently scheduled for TBD.

Warmly observed and solicitous of its audience to the point of caress, Win Win is as comfortable an experience at the movies as you might have this year. Writer and director Tom McCarthy ( The Station Agent , The Visitor ) specializes in light humanism (or humanism lite), storytelling that features recognizable people facing their recognizable lives with just a little more grace and good nature than is recognizable. The flourish there at the end lends McCarthy’s understated, involving approach a bit of self-affirming flattery: These people look and sound just like me, therefore, I am as endearing and ultimately decent as these people.
