LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE / THANK YOU FOR SMOKING / SIDEWAYS
Little Miss Sunshine:
Olive is a little girl with a dream: winning the Little Miss Sunshine contest. Her family wants her dream to come true, but they are so burdened with their own quirks, neuroses, and problems that they can barely make it through a day without some disaster befalling them. Olive's father Richard is a flop as a motivational speaker, and is barely on speaking terms with her mother. Her uncle Frank, a renowned Proust scholar, has attempted suicide following an unsuccessful romance with a male graduate student. Her brother Dwayne, a fanatical follower of Nietzsche, has taken a vow of silence, which allows him to escape somewhat from the family whose very presence torments him. And Olive's grandfather is a ne'er-do-well with a drug habit, but at least he enthusiastically coaches Olive in her contest talent routine. Circumstances conspire to put the entire family on the road together with the goal of getting Olive to the Little Miss Sunshine contest in far off California.
Thank You For Smoking:
The hero of the satirical comedy, Thank You For Smoking is Nick Naylor (Aaron Eckhart), chief spokesman for Big Tobacco, who makes his living defending the rights of smokers and cigarette makers in today’s neo-puritanical culture.

Nick’s newfound notoriety attracts the attention of both tobacco’s head honcho (Robert Duvall) and an investigative reporter for an influential Washington daily (Katie Holmes). Nick says he is just doing what it takes to pay the mortgage, but he begins to think about how his work makes him look in the eyes of his young son, Joey (Cameron Bright).
Sideways:
Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church make an odd couple of long-time friends who spend a funny, revealing and sometimes touching time together during a tour of California’s wine country in Sideways, a film from the director of About Schmidt.

LITTLE NICKY
It's 'The Exorcist' meets 'Big Daddy', in a comedy that unleashes the beast, gives goodness the finger and sticks the horn up the establishment. Eternal damnation has never been more fun!
Little Nicky (Adam Sandler) is just your average horny, headbanging adolescent with a speech impediment from down south...way down south. Nicky is son of the Prince of Darkness and he lives in Hades (Population: You!), ruled for 10,000 years by his dear old pop, Satan (Harvey Keitel). Nicky has two evil brothers (Rhys Iffans from 'Notting Hill' and Tiny from 'Friday') who think pop's gone soft and should vacate the throne...even if it means wasting him.
So begins a wicked chase that'll take them from the burning underworld to the only place that rivals it for sin, decadence and debauchery - New York City. Out of his depth and hellbent on saving Dad from his unearthly siblings, Nicky is about to encounter what life is like on the other side.
Also stars Reese Witherspoon, Patricia Arquette and Rodney Dangerfield.

LONGEST YARD, THE (ADAM SANDLER)
Director Peter Segal (50 FIRST DATES, ANGER MANAGEMENT) and comedian Adam Sandler are at it again in a fun remake of the 1974 classic, THE LONGEST YARD. In the role of Paul "Wrecking" Crewe, first immortalized by Burt Reynolds (who appears here as Nate Scarborough), Sandler plays an ex-football star whose career ended amidst allegations of point shaving. Fed up, he drunkenly steals his unfriendly wife's (an uncredited Courtney Cox) luxury car and drives it into a multi-car pileup. This lands Crewe in a cruel Texas state penitentiary. His only respite comes from Warden Hazen (James Cromwell) who wants Crewe to help lead his well-equipped prison-guard football team to the league championship. Crewe timorously agrees, suggesting the creation of an opposing team of convicts to the give the guards an easy tune-up before the season. To the ragtag inmates, this is the chance they've been waiting for, and they hustle to get their team together so they can exact some revenge on the harassing guards.

LONGEST YARD, THE (BURT REYNOLDS)
In this rough-and tumble movie, actually filmed on-location at the Georgia State Prison, the cons are the heroes and the guards are the heavies. Eddie Albert is the sadistic warden who'll gladly make any sacrifice to push his guards' semi-pro football team to the national championship. Burt Reynolds plays one-time pro quarterback Paul Crewe, now behind bars for leading State Police on a wild chase in a "borrowed car" and more. He agrees to organize a prisoners' team to play the guards. The warden intercedes to assure that his goon squad will meet only passive resistance from Crewe's "Mean Machine." But the license to pound on their hated guards is a big incentive for murderers and thieves to learn strategy.
