THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA — *** — Meryl Streep's fiercely funny performance as a fashion-magazine editor is the highlight of this catty but predictable comedy. Running time: 106 minutes, PG-13 (profanity, vulgarity, violence)

EVERYONE'S HERO — ** — Its heart is in the right place but this animated baseball comedy is pretty crude for a G-rated kids movie. Running time: 88 minutes, G (violence, vulgarity)

FACTOTUM — *** — This askew look at a life of drift and impermanence has a subdued, modest grace. Matt Dillon stars. Running time: 94 minutes, R (profanity, sex) —Sean Axmaker, Seattle Post-Intelligencer

THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT — * 1/2 — This film is a very 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

THE GREAT NEW WONDERFUL — ** 1/2 — It's not always successful, but this comedy-drama about post-9/11 New York does have its perceptive, thoughtful moments. Running time: 87 minutes, R (profanity, sex, violence, vulgarity, racial epithets)

GRIDIRON GANG — ** 1/2 — It's too long but this inspirational football drama does have some appealing aspects — primarily its star, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Running time: 120 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity, racial epithets, vulgarity, brief drugs)

HEADING SOUTH — *** — This French-made drama about sexual tourism reverses the usual gender roles. Charlotte Rampling stars. Running time: 105 minutes, not rated, probable R (sex, nudity, violence, drugs, profanity, racial epithets) —Bob Strauss, Los Angeles Daily News

HOLLYWOODLAND — *** — Ben Affleck's credible performance as George Reeves is one of the highlights of this slowly engrossing but longish mystery/thriller. Running time: 126 minutes, R (profanity, violence, vulgarity, sex, gore, brief partial nudity, brief drugs, racial epithets)
