New Movie Reviews: Little Man, You, Me and Dupree, and The Oh in Ohio
I'm not exactly sure that "From the guys who brought you White Chicks" is a great marketing slogan, but it's the one that Little Man is banking on. The Wayans brothers are back at it again in this ridiculous comedy that has Marlon Wayans looking like a crazy little baby. We'll see if Little Man can be the big man at the box office this weekend. Also in theaters this week is You, Me and Dupree - the latest Owen Wilson comedy about a man who quickly wears out his welcome while staying with his married friends; and The Oh in Ohio - Billy Kent's debut film is "sure to make some couples in the audience tense up to a point of discomfort." Be sure to catch reviews of other recent Theatrical Films: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Superman Returns, A Scanner Darkly, The Devil Wears Prada, Wassup Rockers, Nacho Libre, The Lake House. As always, we invite you to share your thoughts on films in theaters in our Movie Talk Forum Area.

Mankiewicz's epic-length story of a Scottish priest's adventures in China . Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
