Going the Distance
A ridiculously cute couple (ridiculously cute Drew Barrymore and Justin Long) try to make long-distance love work, despite interference from his single buds and her married sister; alternating smoochy/raunchy gags ensue.
(Warner Bros.)
A possibly crazy covert spy (Tom Cruise) and a definitely dumb blonde (Cameron Diaz) become embroiled in an international plot to steal … the world’s most powerful battery? Still, it beats the hell out of Killers.
(Fox)
The hysterical season that blew away The Office on every front—and yet Season 3 is still on the shelf because of Outsourced, WTF? See: Possum attacks! The summer catalog! Corn-syrup terror! Gay penguins! MouseRat! Mustaches! And more!
(Universal)
A good sorcerer with bad hair (Nicolas Cage) must defend New York City from a bad sorcerer with good hair (Alfred Molina), so he enlists a novice protégé with so-so hair (Jay Baruchel) to help. Based on the more realistic cartoon.
(Disney)
Ridiculously cute couple Tony Blair and Bill Clinton (ridiculously cute Michael Sheen and Dennis Quaid) try to make long-distance love work, despite interference from world politics, scandal and that darned Hillary (Hope Davis).
