Stuffs
[ PREVIEW ]
In addition to "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" opening tomorrow, another big studio movie is opening Friday:
"Mona Lisa Smile": Set in the all-female Wellesley College in 1953, Julia Roberts plays a free-spirited art history professor who opens the eyes (and loosens the girdles) of her students, who've been taught to meet a nice boy, get married, then stay home and have kids. Roberts goes head to head with the powers that be at Wellesley and, in doing so, deeply affects her students who, in turn, lead her to alter the course of her life. Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles and Maggie Gyllenhaal co-star as her students. (PG-13)
