THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT — * 1/2 This film is an expensive cinematic equivalent of foolhardy boys playing rough with their Hot Wheels cars. Running time: 104 minutes. PG-13 (violence, profanity, sex). —David Germain, Associated Press

GARFIELD: A TAIL OF TWO KITTIES — * 1/2 Despite his droll delivery, Bill Murray can't wring many laughs out of this lame sequel. Running time: 80 minutes. PG (vulgarity). —Christy Lemire, Associated Press

HOW TO EAT FRIED WORMS — ** 1/2This adaptation of the popular children's book is the ultimate 11-year-old boy's movie. Running time: 85 minutes. PG (violence, vulgarity). —Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

IDLEWILD — **The new music from OutKast is winning, but the rather thin plot keeps getting in the way. Running time: 121 minutes. R (profanity, violence, vulgarity, sex, racial epithets, gore, brief nudity, brief drugs).

THE ILLUSIONIST — **This shallow, vapid romantic drama thinks it's better cinema than it actually is. Running time: 110 minutes. PG-13 (violence, sex, profanity).

AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH — *** 1/2 This global-warming documentary is well-crafted. Running time: 100 minutes. PG (violence, nude artwork, brief drugs).

INVINCIBLE — ***The filmmakers do get more mileage out of this formulaic sports drama than you might expect. Running time: 108 minutes. PG (violence, vulgarity, mild profanity).

JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE — * 1/2An idiotic teen comedy. Running time: 87 minutes. PG-13 (vulgarity, violence, profanity, brief drugs, brief partial nudity).

LADY IN THE WATER — **The surprise with M. Night Shyamalan's latest is that he's created a convoluted story mythology for this fantasy/thriller that's almost laughable. Running time: 109 minutes. PG-13 (violence, profanity, vulgarity, brief drugs).

THE LAKE HOUSE — ** "Speed" stars Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves reunite for this contrived romantic fantasy. Running time: 105 minutes. PG (profanity, violence).
