Death at a Funeral: A foreign film is remade by Neil LaBute with a cast that includes Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, and Tracy Morgan. I think it's safe to assume this ain't a stuffy art picture.
(OK, so the original was made in England by Frank Oz, but that still counts as a foreign film...kind of.)
Our Family Wedding: African-American and Mexican-American families must join forces when their families come together for a wedding. I guess it's progress that a black and white family getting together would be old hat as the basis for a screenplay. There is no truth to the rumor castmember Carlos Mencia stole all his dialogue from a George Lopez movie.
Tapped: This documentary professes to "expose the dark side of the bottled water industry." Great Scott, man, I don't have a problem with Penn and Teller saying bottled water is useless, but now we have to worry about it for health reasons?
Bugs and Daffy DVDs: These look like decent enough collections of two of the best Looney Tunes Superstars, but I get a kick out of the official description on Netflix for the Bugs disc, which touts that the toons are "never before offered in this format." Well, yeah, Warner Brothers, because you had a perfectly good format called the Golden Collection, which offered more cartoons, more extras, and more overall value, and a lot of fans were happy with that.
