HANCOCK

A misfire of a saga about a flawed superhero that even Mr. July, Will Smith, cannot salvage. (Hap Erstein, Palm Beach Post) 1 hour, 32 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated PG-13. Grade: C

KIT KITTREDGE: AN AMERICAN GIRL
Full Review | Showtimes
A better-than-necessary spin-off of the doll franchise, carried by Abigail Breslin and a first-rate bunch of second bananas. (Hap Erstein, Palm Beach Post) 1 hours, 40 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated G. Grade: B

THE LOVE GURU

WALL-E
Full Review | Showtimes

10,000 B.C.
Full Review | Showtimes
With the exception of a couple of cool effects shots and some unintentionally (I think) funny moments, the movie is absolutely lifeless. It just sits there like Ñ well, like a caveman who hasn't invented the wheel yet. (Eric Robinette, a.k.a. "Sir Critic," Dayton Daily News) 1 hour, 49 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated PG-13. Grade: A

21
Full Review | Showtimes
Director Robert Luketic (Legally Blonde) overloads it with glitz and schmaltz, botching the can't-miss movie, particularly in its increasingly preposterous final half hour. (Hap Erstein, Palm Beach Post) 2 hours, 2 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated PG-13. Grade: C

BABY MAMA
Full Review | Showtimes
Shows Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have potential to make something hilarious rather than mildly funny. All they need is a script and a director that they can carry to term. (Eric Robinette, a.k.a. "Sir Critic," Dayton Daily News) 1 hour, 39 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated PG-13. Grade: B-

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN
Full Review | Showtimes
This movie is bound to attract most moviegoers who enjoyed the earlier film but should satisfy only those with a taste for really long battle sequences. (Hap Erstein, Palm Beach Post) 2 hours, 24 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated: PG. Grade: C

THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM
Full Review | Showtimes
Exploits two of the genre's most gifted performers (Jet Li, Jackie Chan) for a dumbed-down, soulless take on Asian action cinema. Along the way it incorporates a bit of everything from the movies it's mimicking, but the ingredients are as flavorless as a $3.99 Chinese buffet. (John DeFore, Austin American Statesman) 1 hour, 45 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated PG-13.

FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL
Full Review | Showtimes
It may not be on par with producer Judd Apatow's best comedies, but it supplies enough laughs to keep his winning streak intact. (Hap Erstein, Palm Beach Post) 1 hour, 52 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated R. Grade: B

THE HAPPENING
Full Review | Showtimes
This tale of natural catastrophe proves underwhelming, as M. Night Shyamalan fails again to live up to the promise of 'The Sixth Sense.' (Hap Erstein, Palm Beach Post) 1 hour, 29 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated R. Grade: C-

HAROLD & KUMAR ESCAPE FROM GUANTANOMO BAY
Full Review | Showtimes
So wickedly subversive is the juvenile humor in this sure-to-romp sequel, it could be studied in classes about how to battle bigotry by circumventing the cerebral cortex. (Michael Barnes, Austin American Statesman) 1 hour, 42 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated R.

HORTON HEARS A WHO
Full Review | Showtimes
Raise a glass to Blue Sky Studios. Much to my great relief, a modern-day Hollywood movie has finally gotten Dr. Seuss right. (Eric Robinette, a.k.a. "Sir Critic," Dayton Daily News) 1 hour, 28 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated G. Grade: B+

INCREDIBLE HULK
Full Review | Showtimes
This movie is about nothing but adrenaline and noise and possessing the contents of your wallet. (Chris Garcie, Austin American Statesman) 1 hour, 52 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated PG-13. Grade: C-

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL
Full Review | Showtimes
Bring on the popcorn, guys. It's flawed but passes the summer-movie fun test, and that's what this is all about. (Carl Hoover, Waco Tribune-Herald) 2 hours, 2 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated: PG-13. Grade: C+

IRON MAN
Full Review | Showtimes
Robert Downey Jr. injects enough of his trademark dry intelligence and snarky attitude into the role of the hard-shelled crimefighter that he almost competes with the pyrotechnic hardware. (Hap Erstein, Palm Beach Post) 2 hours, 6 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated PG-13. Grade: B

KUNG FU PANDA
Full Review | Showtimes
This movie tends to go for the obvious joke a bit too often, but that matters little amid a heartwarming story and spectacularly animated fight scenes. (Eric Robinette, a.k.a. "Sir Critic, Dayton Daily News) 1 hour, 31 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated PG. Grade: A-

MADE OF HONOR
Full Review | Showtimes
When the pratfalls and the plotting become painfully cliched, all you can do is check your watch and wait for the inevitable mad dash to break up the wedding and blurt out some long-overdue I-love-yous. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) 1 hour, 41 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated PG-13. Grade: D

NIM'S ISLAND
Full Review | Showtimes
For kids who like to think and read and use their imagination, and for parents who may be tired of family fare that's nothing but a litany of cutesy pop-culture references. For the most part, it's all smiles, sunshine, exotic scenery -- and perhaps a couple of tears here and there. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) 1 hour, 34 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated PG. Grade: B-

SEX AND THE CITY
Full Review | Showtimes
What holds the movie together is what propelled the TV show more than anything else: the electric chemistry between the four leads. (Eric Robinette, a.k.a. "Sir Critic", Dayton Daily News) 2 hours, 25 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated R. Grade: B

SPEED RACER
Full Review | Showtimes
Many of this movie's race sequences are so choppy and incoherent that one can't tell who's ahead or not -- as maddening as choreography shot with little consideration of dancers' feet and bodies. (Carl Hoover, Waco Tribune-Herald) 2 hours, 15 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated: PG. Grade: C

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS
Full Review | Showtimes
What happens in "Vegas," however, is exactly what you would expect: It's formulaic, slapsticky, silly and loud, until it goes all gooey in the end. (Christy Lemire, Associated Press) 1 hour, 39 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated PG-13. Grade: C

YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE ZOHAN
Full Review | Showtimes
Big, silly, sex-happy fun that earns belly laughs even from viewers who have no idea why an Israel/Lebanon Hacky-Sack championship is supposed to be funny. (John DeFore, Austin American Statesman) 1 hour, 53 minutes. At metro theaters. Rated PG-13. Grade: C-
