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

JACKASS: NUMBER TWO — *Johnny Knoxville and his pals return for more irresponsible stunts and gags in this even more painful "reality" sequel. Running time: 83 minutes, R (violence, vulgarity, nudity, profanity, gore, racial epithets)

LET'S GO TO PRISON — * 1/2There is probably a funny comedy to be made from this concept. But this juvenile comedy never comes close. Reviewed Saturday, running time: 84 minutes, R (vulgarity, profanity, violence, sex, drugs) —David Hiltbrand, The Philadelphia Inquirer

LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE — ** 1/2It's not as hysterical as advertised, but this modestly amusing comedy boasts good performances amid absurd situations. Running time: 101 minutes, R (vulgarity, profanity, drugs, nude photos)

MAN OF THE YEAR — * 1/2This supposedly comic Robin Williams vehicle turns into a disastrous paranoid political thriller and never recovers. Running time: 116 minutes, rated PG-13 (vulgarity, profanity, drugs, violence)

MARIE ANTOINETTE — **Filmmaker Sofia Coppola's biographical drama starring Kirsten Dunst is superficial and tacky. Running time: 123 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, partial nudity, violence, brief sex, brief drugs)

THE MARINE — * 1/2This action-thriller starring wrestler John Cena is a love story but it's hard to hear the heart beating through the explosions. Running time: 93 minutes, PG-13 (violence, profanity)

PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN'S CHEST — ***An improvement over the first "Pirates" movie in the story department, though it is dark, intense and scary in places. Johnny Depp stars. Running time: 151 minutes, PG-13 (violence, vulgarity, brief gore, profanity, brief drugs, torture)
