Synopsis
Sometimes you have to break a heart to be true to your own
After an ill-timed and very public marriage proposal, fiercely independent Sarah (Lizzy Caplan, Hot Tub Time Machine, 127 Hours) breaks up with her overeager boyfriend Kevin (Geoffrey Arend, (500) Days of Summer, Devil). Sarah turns to her sister Beth (Alison Brie, Community, Mad Men) for support, but Beth is too busy obsessing over the details of her own wedding to Kevin's band mate, Andrew (Martin Starr, Adventureland, Freaks and Geeks). When Sarah suddenly finds herself caught up in an intense rebound romance with the adorable Jonathan (Mark Webber, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World), she is forced to examine her own fears of commitment and vulnerability and decide if she's better off staying safely single or risking everything on love. By turns funny, sad, and sweet, Save The Date is a heartfelt and sincere comedy about the familial and romantic bonds that hold us together.

Synopsis
Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and-if he has his way-every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It's enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop...except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen's world apart.
