Sacha Baron Cohen directs and stars in the mockumentary “Da Ali G Show” movie, which brings back his hip-hop character from the 2000s. Ali is back on his cultural-appropriation tilt and also has a baby on the way, as he learns his girlfriend Julie (Morgana Robinson) is eight months pregnant.
The crime drama stars Samara Weaving as Caroline, a Texas gas-station worker who hits the road for criminal dealings with con man Oliver (Kyle Gallner). Small-time thievery followed by bank robberies excites her, but weighs on her morally when their spree turns bloody.
Dennis Quaid headlines this holiday film about love, loss and lovable canines. Quaid plays a grieving grandpa and Brooke Lena Johnson plays his granddaughter as the family navigates new romance and a medical emergency with the help of an aging basset hound and a stray corgi puppy.
Olivia Wilde’s directorial effort “Booksmart” remains her best, but this one is close. She also stars in the comedy with Seth Rogen as a couple in a passionless marriage whose relationship is shaken up by an alluring proposition from their neighbors (Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz) at an impromptu dinner party.
The return of the Minions brings high jinks, but this animated comedy is also a love letter to old-school Hollywood classics and creature features. The little yellow characters take Tinseltown by storm in the 1920s and use a magic book to conjure an elder god and other weird beasts for their monster movie.

The Vermont highway cops return for a third police spoof. Thorny (Jay Chandrasekhar) tries to break up the Indian wedding of his sister, while his obnoxious coworker Farva (Kevin Heffernan) causes trouble, and the team welcomes a new rookie (Andrew Dismukes) and must bust up a drug ring.
Lucy Hale stars in the holiday rom-com as Christina, a furniture shop owner who pledges to bring a boyfriend to her family’s Christmas dinner and embarks on 12 dates in 12 weeks to find one. Ian Harding plays Peter, a classmate back in town who might be Christina’s Mr.
Right.
The historical drama based on England’s 1381 Peasants’ Revolt stars Garfield as Ploughman, a farmer who lost his family to the Black Death and then turns violent against tax collectors.
