Its legion of teen male fans would be loathe to admit it, but this spinoff of the MTV reality series is the most blatant display of latent homosexuality since The Ambiguously Gay Duo on “Saturday Night Live.” Nearly every stunt eventually finds its way to the crotch, while two particular members of the gang might

Another Ice Cube ode to laziness, pot smoking and other negative African-American stereotypes, this time set to a jingle-bell beat. Along with Mike Epps, the rapper returns to his old south-central Los Angeles neighborhood in this third installment of the comedy series, primarily to chase down a renegade Santa Claus on Christmas Eve. Decidedly less

Further evidence that Matthew Perry, “Friends” star and king of inconsequential movie comedies, is a strictly small-screen talent.

It takes awhile for Monster-in-Law to bare its teeth, but once the movie does, everything on screen begins to click. As the harridan future in-law, Jane Fonda embraces the over-the-top, blackly comic tone from the start, and once Jennifer Lopez, as the tormented bride-to-be, joins in, she proves surprisingly light on her feet.

Why should the guys in The Full Monty have all the fun? Calendar Girls, based on a true story, features middle-aged members of one of Britain’s staid Women’s Institute groups who decide to pose without clothes for their annual calendar, shocking their rural town and unexpectedly become the sensation of the nation.
