How to Meet Girls from a Distance

Toby has always been unlucky with girls. Ever since getting stabbed in the throat after asking a girl out, Toby has resolved to learn everything he can about girls before meeting them. So he can become the man of their dreams. After faking yet another girlfriend, his mother takes matters into her own hands and signs him up with a dating coach. But Toby has finally found Phoebe. She's intelligent, enchanting and she's hot, everything Toby has been looking for. But this girl brings challenges that Toby hasn't had to face before including a boyfriend. Toby finds himself crossing lines he never thought he'd cross. Then there's the problem of how to keep her, without her finding out that he knows everything about her. How far would you go for a crush?

Groundhog Day

1 hr 41 mins
A weather man is reluctantly sent to cover a story about a weather forecasting "rat" (as he calls it). This is his fourth year on the story, and he makes no effort to hide his frustration. On awaking the 'following' day, he discovers that it's Groundhog Day again, and again, and again. First he uses this to his advantage, then comes the realisation that he is doomed to spend the rest of eternity in the same place, seeing the same people do the same thing every day.

Best in Show

1 hr 30 mins
At the prestigious Mayflower Dog Show, a "documentary film crew" captures the excitement and tension displayed by the eccentric participants in the outrageously hilarious satire Best In Show. This biting send-up exposes the wondrously diverse dog owners who travel from all over America to showcase their four-legged contenders. Mild-mannered salesman Gerry Fleck (Eugene Levy) and his vivacious wife, Cookie (Catherine O'Hara), happily prepare their Norwich Terrier, while shop owner Harlan Pepper (Christopher Guest) hopes his Bloodhound wins top prize. As two upwardly mobile attorneys (Parker Posey and Michael Hitchcock) anxiously ready their neurotic Weimaraner and an ecstatically happy gay couple (Michael McKean and John Michael Higgins) dote on their tiny Shih Tzu, inept commentator Buck Laughlin (Fred Willard) vainly attempts to provide colorful tidbits about each breed.
