"Bridesmaids"
On Friday, Kristen Wiig?and?Maya Rudolph?star in Bridesmaids, a comedy about a witty thirtysomething woman who is her own worst enemy; "The Da Vinci Code" co-star?Paul Bettany dons another cleric robe for a creature feature that borrows heavily from various film formulas; and Will Ferrell plays an alcoholic in Everything Must Go. Those are just three of several new titles that moviegoers can choose from this weekend.?
?
Bridesmaids?
Bottom Line: Kristen Wiig scores in an erratic gross comedy that truthfully connects where it counts.
?
Priest?
Bottom Line: Doesn?t have a prayer.?
?
Everything Must Go
Bottom Line: Using an acting muscle hitherto ignored, Will Ferrell isn't able to track the ups-and-downs in the story's dramatic beats.?
?
Hesher?
Bottom Line: Too dark for a very broad audience, it will flummox some viewers drawn by its cast but will strike others with its more-than-prickly approach and standoffish humor.?
?
How to Live Forever?
Bottom Line: A frisky, inquisitive film about aging and a lively film about death all in one.?
?
City of Life and Death
Bottom Line: Potently cinematic and full of personal stylistic bravura, City of Life and Death is one of only a few Chinese fictional features to tackle head-on the so-called Rape of Nanking: crimes against humanity committed during the Japanese occupation in 1937.?
?
Skateland
Bottom Line: For an indie film, it's very well made, even rather slick, in fact. But what a thoroughly conventional movie it is.?
?
The First Grader
Bottom Line: The film paints a vivid picture of rural and urban Kenya, and it also sketches some of the forgotten history of the country.?
?
Cameraman: The Life and Work of Jack Cardiff
Bottom Line: The film, unlike most documentaries, deserves to be seen on the big screen due to the sheer voluptuousness of its images.
