The Hangover
Three groomsmen do their best to track down their errant buddy who seems to have gotten lost on the eve of his wedding. That this all takes place in Las Vegas only adds to the mayhem. As directed by Todd Phillips (Old School), this could wind up being the comedy sleeper of the year.

My Life in Ruins Nia Vardalos hopes that a Greek connection can provide big box office once again as she stars as a tour guide, escorting a group through Greece, who finds love in the most unexpected of places. Richard Dreyfuss co-stars in a film that’s likely to be overlooked amid the usual big budget Hollywood blockbusters.

Land of the Lost
Will Ferrell Dinosaurs An alternate dimension = Either a comedy masterpiece or a disaster on par with last year’s The Love Guru. Let’s hope all the laughs in the trailer of this humorous redo of the cult children’s series isn’t all the film has to offer.

Imagine That
Eddie Murphy stars as a haggard business executive who finds a solution to all of his problems when he becomes immersed in his daughter’s imaginary, magical world. Sounding a bit too much like Bedtime Stories, this one might seem too familiar to do well at the box office.
