Mr Bean's Holiday - Mr. Bean, the most annoying British export to grace our screens, goes on a trip in his second film adventure. Starring Rowan Atkinson. Also available on HD-DVD.
Hot Rod - In this underrated comedy, amateur stuntman Rod Kimble (Andy Samberg) attempts to jump fifteen buses on a motorcycle in order to raise money to help save his stepfather's life. Also available on HD-DVD.
Waitress - Jenna (Keri Russell) is unhappy with her marriage and pregnant. When a newcomer comes to town, she falls into an unexpected relationship with him. Also starring Jeremy Sisto, Cheryl Hines, and Andy Griffith.
The Namesake Criticize This! pick of the week - Gogol (Kal Penn) has spent his entire life trying to be more American than Indian. He finds his true roots only after a tragedy happens in his family. A decent, yet rushed, adaptation of the book by the same name. Trivia: the French song in the movie (that will stick in your head) is called Riviera Rendezvous by Ursula 1000.
Also available: I Know Who Killed Me, Bratz, Skinwalkers, La Vie En Rose, Stir of Echoes 2: The Homecoming
The Mr. Bean movie is a lame remake of the old Jacques Tati film, Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, which I had to suffer through every year in French class.
