Fool's Gold
I'm starting to think that Matthew McConaughey is the only romantic lead left in Hollywood. I admit that his chemistry with Kate Hudson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days was pretty spot on, but there was no need to re-pair these two. There are so many more attractive women/men that could've been their match. Nonetheless, this story follows Kate who married a slacker (Matthew) who is good in the sack. After getting a quick and much-needed divorce from him, she realizes she needs money fast in order to get her PhD, so she decides to join him on his treasure hunt...and inevitably fall back in love with him. It's just slapstick humor, try not to read too much into it, you'll hurt yourself.
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins
You know all those movies where some really successful guy goes home to get painfully reminded of how unimportant he truly is by his family? Well, Martin Lawrence thought he'd do one of these with a bevy of black actors in tow. So tune in for James Earl Jones, Mo'Nique, Cedric the Entertainer, Michael Clark Duncan, Mike Epps, Joy Bryant, and many more. Lawrence's character plays a fake doctor on a talk show, who goes home to introduce his new wife (Bryant) to his family so they can start having kids. Unfortunately, they're not impressed with his stuck up wife or his fake fame. I can't guarantee that it'll be hilarious, but I can promise that there will be plenty of shennanigans.
The Hottie and the Nottie
Speaking of stuff that isn't funny, Paris Hilton plays a hot girl--what a stretch--who has vowed not to date anyone until she finds Mr. Right for her best friend (Christine Lakin from "Step by Step"). Unfortunately, her childhood guy friend (Joel Moore from "LAX") was hoping now that he was older he could officially bag her. I do not feel his pain.
Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights -
Hollywood to the Heartland
Vince Vaughn filmed a comedy tour with four relatively unknown comedians for a whole month, with a guest star by Justin Long. Hey, it could be funny. It's most definitely funnier than any of the comedies above.
In Bruges
Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) buddy up as hit men who botch their last job and are ordered, by their boss Ralph Fiennes (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix), to lay low in a little town called Bruges. Being the antsy little bastards that they are, they disregard the orders and leave the hotel room, bumping into bizarre and hilarious characters along the way.
