Are We There Yet? (released May 24)

Nick Persons (Ice Cube) is a player that hates kids, especially when those kids come attached to his flavour of the week. When Nick sees Suzanne (Nia Long), he's definitely in love, but then he gets a look at her kids, Kevin (Philip Bolden) and Lindsey (Aleisha Allen). This Romeo quickly finds himself as Suzanne's best friend, but he wants more.

The only thing that stands between Nick and Suzanne are Kevin and Lindsey, and as "Uncle Nick" agrees to drive the kids to Vancouver, Kevin and Lindsey discover that they have finally met their match.

This movie had so much potential! It really did. Ice Cube and the kids were great. They had a beautiful dynamic together. I couldn't stand Nia Long, though. Seriously, I despise the way she does that simpering goody-goody role. It makes me want to do Not Nice Things. And, unfortunately, all the best parts of the movie were in the trailer and the rest of it wasn't that great. A good time-waster if you're waiting on a more popular release, otherwise, don't bother.

Get a Clue (released May 31)

This made-for-TV effort finds student Advice-Columnest Lexy Gold (Lindsay Lohan) on the juicy end of a strange case. When one of her teachers goes missing and is presumed dead, it's up to Lexy and her friends to get to the bottom of things and crack the mystery.

This is one of those Disney deals where, if you aren't between the ages of 9 and 15, don't bother. And, to her detriment, Lindsey Lohan comes across as needing acting lessons big time. I just hope her performance is solid in her upcoming movie "Herbie: Fully Loaded".

De-Lovely (released 2004 )

This fantabulous musical follows the life of Cole Porter (Kevin Kline), one of the greatest composers of the past. In this retrospective, Cole gets a chance to review his life before he passes on with the help of an Angel and all the familiar faces of the past. Examining his romance with wife Linda  (Ashley Judd) and his stunning career, De-Lovely is a journey laced with some of Porter's best songs.

Kevin Kline is superb in this movie and a nice performance is turned out by Ashley Judd. It was a little lengthy and it felt like it, which was bad, but it didn't detract too much from the movie as a whole. If you enjoy artsy movies with a little song and dance thrown in, then pick this one up while everyone else fights over those new releases
