Thuddingly unamusing, sophomoric beer-chugging farce created and performed by Broken Lizard comedy troupe (Jay Chandrasekhar (who also directs), Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter and Erik Stolhanske); German-American brothers (Soter and Stolhanske) go to Munich during Oktoberfest to scatter their granddad's (Donald Sutherland) ashes, as bidden by their great-grandmother (Cloris Leachman); there they discover an underground beer-chugging contest, plus a passel of hostile German cousins; they spend the next year “training” to out-guzzle their mean relatives. Lewd jokes about masturbation, male frogs, male prostitutes, sausages; graphic sexual situations with seminudity; toilet humor; strong profanity; mock-gory scene implying a character drank blood of a killed deer; brief marijuana theme; females portrayed as either prostitutes or harridans. 17 and older.

Incoherent, cobbled-together sci-fi adventure geared to 'tweens (based on the book “Zoom's Academy” by Jason Lethcoe, but also ripping off PG-rated “Spy Kids” films (2001, '02, '03) and “Sky High” (2005); a former child superhero (Tim Allen), brought in by a sleazy general (Rip Torn) and government scientist (Chevy Chase), trains new superhero kids to use their special powers (Spencer Breslin, Kate Mara, Michael Cassidy and Ryan Newman). Gross-out humor; mild sexual innuendo; mildly crude language; odd, unfunny asides geared to adults about race, sexual orientation; comic action sequences won't scare kids until the slightly scary final battle. Third-rate, but at a recent showing younger kids seemed to find it fun.

Likable, witty gross-out fable (based on the 1973 kids' novel by Thomas Rockwell), in which 11-year-old Billy (Luke Benward) bets the bully (Adam Hicks) at his new school that he, Billy, can eat 10 worms in one day; he gets moral support from a girl (Hallie Kate Eisenberg) in his class, but must chew alone; film deftly demonstrates value of friendship, understanding, even for bullies; Billy eats worms fried in lard, exploded in a microwave, pureed with broccoli, etc. -- not recipes to try at home; vomit jokes; worm sphincter jokes; Billy's little brother says “penis”; scary when ragged proprietress of a bait shop chases the kids away.

Surprisingly poignant, expertly acted reality-based tale of Vincent Papale (Mark Wahlberg in strong, sensitive, believably athletic turn); an out-of-work teacher and part-time bartender in 1976 Philadelphia, Papale is a champ at neighborhood football games; when the new Philadelphia Eagles coach Dick Vermeil (Greg Kinnear) holds open tryouts, Papale decides to go; he so impresses Vermeil, he winds up making the NFL team, despite the pro players' hostility toward a 30-year-old rookie. Rare mild profanity; understated sexual tension between Papale and a new love (Elizabeth Banks); football field mayhem; beer.

Refreshingly anarchic, often lewd jab at pressure on teens to get into college; a smart, lazy kid (Justin Long) fakes a college acceptance letter to please his folks; fake school morphs from an Internet address into a real place (“South Harmon Institute of Technology” -- picture the acronym) in an abandoned psychiatric hospital, with “rejected” kids signing up for major partying and courses such as “hooking up overseas.” Crude sexual references; bikini-clad young women; much use of the S-word; other profanity; gross-out gags; verbal drug references, depiction of a drug sale; older teens drinking, using electro-shock machine for fun. Iffy fare for middle-schoolers, even some high-schoolers under 16.

Deliciously atmospheric, classically rendered tale of magic, love and class conflict; a master magician (Edward Norton) in Vienna, circa 1900, fights a battle of wills against a ruthless prince (Rufus Sewell) over a beautiful aristocrat (Jessica Biel) -- his childhood sweetheart. Nongraphic but strongly implied gun suicide; off-camera stabbing; talk about a man who abuses women; mild sexual language; nonexplicit sexual situation; smoking, drinking. Unique fare for teens.

Oliver Stone's raw, apolitical, emotional, fact-based film focuses on Port Authority cops John McLoughlin (Nicolas Cage) and Will Jimeno (Michael Pena), who were among the few who got out alive after being trapped for hours beneath collapsed World Trade Center towers after Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks; the film focuses on them, their distraught wives (Maria Bello and Maggie Gyllenhaal) and families, and their rescuers. Nongraphic portrayal of other bloodied survivors; fleeting image of someone falling toward death after jumping from upper floor; sounds of more bodies hitting; scary cave-ins, fireballs near trapped men; a member of their team, gravely hurt, commits suicide with his gun (heard, not shown); injuries not graphically portrayed; profanity; flashbacks of Jimeno and wife (Gyllenhaal) in mildly sexual bedroom scene. Too intense for some middle-schoolers, older teens; enlightening for others.

Well and energetically danced, but utterly corny tale of privileged Baltimore dance student (Jenna Dewan) and her romance with a delinquent foster kid (excellent Channing Tatum); she sees he's a gifted hip-hop/break dancer; soon their styles meld; cool dance numbers can't mask awful plot, but arts magnet's hothouse milieu is neatly sketched. Briefly intense, non-gory violence includes fatal shooting of a teen; understated kissing/make out scenes; hints of sexual attraction, but no trysts; teens steal cars; implied beer drinking. Teens will like the energy.

Will Ferrell as dimwitted stock car driver who goes from being a champ to a chump and back in broad, often very funny sendup of NASCAR culture that some may find condescending. Crude sexual innuendo, slang; lewd references to erections, animal sex; implied toplessness; talk of posing for porn magazines; homoerotic innuendo; homophobic slurs; other profanity -- strongest words partly muffled; drinking, smoking, talk of selling, abusing drugs; crazy driving, crashes, including a preschooler joy riding in a station wagon; comedic violence shows arm broken, mountain lion pouncing, Ricky sticking a knife in his own thigh. Too lewd for middle-schoolers.

Flawed, but lavish, entertaining movie musical tries, with uneven success -- corny story, inauthentic period detail -- to blend classic 1930s Hollywood-style production numbers with hip-hop aesthetic and music-video shorthand; popular R&B/hip-hop duo, OutKast (Andre Benjamin and Big Boi, aka Antwan A. Patton), who also wrote most of the score, star as friends in 1930s rural Georgia -- one a shy pianist/composer (Benjamin) in love with a pretty singer (Paula Patton), the other a slick club manager, performer and womanizer (Big Boi); when their favorite whiskey supplier (Ving Rhames) is murdered (Terrence Howard as his killer), life gets dangerous. Very explicit sexuality; toplessness; bloody gun violence; profanity; crude sexual language; use of the N-word; smoking, drinking; brief suicide theme. 17 and older.

Surprisingly ordinary thriller, despite surefire premise of snakes wreaking lethal havoc on jumbo jet; Samuel L. Jackson as FBI agent escorting surfer dude (Nathan Phillips) from Hawaii to Los Angeles to testify against a mobster; snakes in cargo hold escape, as rigged by mobster's minions; early victims include a couple who smoke pot and copulate (explicitly, with seminudity) in lavatory; more passengers die bloody deaths with swollen limbs, distorted faces, as FBI guy tries to stop it; film opens with gory baseball-bat murder; strong profanity; lewd sexual innuendo; children endangered. Thriller fans 16 and up.
