I think my parents might have a new favorite movie.  Following in the footsteps of last years surprise hit, “Mama Mia!”, R.E.M.’s Michael Stipe and Tom Hanks are going forward with a romantic comedy that will use the song catalogue of singer/songwriter Barry Manilow.  Those who are waiting eagerly for a Manilow musical will sadly by disappointed since the film will not feature characters breaking out into songs.  Instead, the still untitled film aims to be closer to the tone of “Love Actually”.  You can get the full details when you click on the jump.
