Plot Summary:
Born to race cars, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch)
is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real
competition is the memory of the brother he idolized—the legendary Rex
Racer, whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven
to fulfill. Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his
father, Pops Racer (John Goodman), the designer of Speed’s thundering Mach
5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton
Industries, he not only infuriates the company’s maniacal owner (Roger
Allam) but uncovers a terrible secret—some of the biggest races are being
fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to
boost profits. If Speed won’t drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it
that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. The only way for Speed
to save his family’s business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton
at his own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend,
Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed teams with his one-time rival—the
mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox)—to win the race that had taken his
brother’s life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The
Crucible.

Plot Summary:
In a comedy that brings together some of
today's sharpest talent, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler team with
writer/director Michael McCullers and producers Lorne Michaels and John
Goldwyn to tell the story of two women, one apartment and the nine months
that will change their lives: "Baby Mama."
Successful and single businesswoman Kate Holbrook (Tina Fey) has long put
her career ahead of a personal life. Now 37, she's finally determined to
have a kid on her own. But her plan is thrown a curve ball after she
discovers she has only a million-to-one chance of getting pregnant.
Undaunted, the driven Kate allows South Philly working girl Angie
Ostrowiski (Amy Poehler) to become her unlikely surrogate. Simple
enough...
After learning from the steely head (Sigourney Weaver) of their surrogacy
center that Angie is pregnant, Kate goes into precision nesting mode:
reading childcare books, baby-proofing the apartment and researching top
pre-schools. But the executive's well-organized strategy is turned upside
down when her Baby Mama shows up at her doorstep with no place to live.
An unstoppable force meets an immovable object as structured Kate tries to
turn vibrant Angie into the perfect expectant mom. In a comic battle of
wills, they will struggle their way through preparation for the baby's
arrival. And in the middle of this tug-of-war, they'll discover two kinds
of family: the one you're born to and the one you make.

Plot Summary:
From the producers of "The 40-Year-Old Virgin"
and "Knocked Up" comes a comic look at one guy's arduous quest to grow up
and get over the heartbreak of being dumped -- if he can only make himself
start "Forgetting Sarah Marshall."
Struggling musician Peter Bretter (Jason Segel, "How I Met Your Mother")
has spent six years idolizing his girlfriend, television star Sarah
Marshall (Kristen Bell, "Veronica Mars"). He's the guy left holding her
purse in paparazzi photos and accidentally omitted from acceptance award
speeches. But his world is rocked when she dumps him and Peter finds
himself alone. After an unsuccessful bout of womanizing and an on-the-job
nervous breakdown, he sees that not having Sarah may just ruin his life.
To clear his head, Peter takes an impulsive trip to Oahu, where he is
confronted by his worst nightmare: his ex and her tragically hip new
British-rocker boyfriend, Aldous (Russell Brand), are sharing his hotel.
But as he torments himself with the reality of Sarah's new life, he finds
relief in a flirtation with Rachel (Mila Kunis), a beautiful resort
employee whose laid-back approach tempts him to rejoin the world. He also
finds relief in several hundred embarrassing, fruity cocktails.
For anyone who has ever had their heart ripped out and cut into a billion
pieces comes a hilarious, heartfelt look at relationships -- featuring
Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill, Bill Hader and Jack McBrayer. Part romantic comedy,
part disaster film, "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" is the world's first
romantic disaster comedy.
