This comedy about two thickheaded wrestling fans (David Arquette and Scott Caan) would be harmless – albeit raunchy – fun except for the way its amped-up violence spills outside of the ring. Here, beating the crap out of somebody isn’t just part of a theatrical stage show; it’s a way of life.

Part shrinks and part private investigators, the “existential detectives” at the center of this farce (Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin) plumb life’s biggest questions for their angst-ridden clients. The latest sharp satire from writer-director David O. Russell (Three Kings), this often is as random and puzzling as its title, yet buried beneath the quirky characters,

This imbecilic college comedy about three fraternity buddies (Barry Watson, Michael Rosenbaum and Harland Williams) who dress up as coeds predictably revels in misogyny – there are awful jokes about everything from menstruation to date rape – but what’s most galling is the moral hat the movie also tries to wear.
