Chicken Run
Rated G
This animated heroes-out-of-hens story combines "The Great Escape" and "Hogan's Heroes." "Chicken Run" is about an imprisoned group of birds who have two choices in life: Lay eggs regularly or become the next evening's meal for their captors, the Tweedys. Their plucky young leader, Ginger (voiced by Julia Sawalha, veteran of the British comedy series "Absolutely Fabulous") tries to liberate her fellow hens innumerable times. But it's Mel Gibson's character, Rocky the rooster, who may finally give the birds the skills they need to break free.
Me, Myself & Irene
Rated PG-13
Jim Carrey stars as a Rhode Island state trooper who suffers from split-personality disorder. After years of being treated like a doormat by absolutely everyone and making Barney Fife look like a standup guy, the trooper finally snaps. Unless on medication, he's foul-mouthed, hard-drinking and hot to trot. Then his split personalities fall in love with the same woman.
