Playing at local movie theaters
MEET THE SPARTANS * These cut-and-paste comedies are so worn out that they have devolved to simple pop-culture riffs. Running time: 84 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, sex, profanity, violence) Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel
MISS PETTIGREW LIVES FOR A DAY *** The delightful acting ensemble helps save this pre-World War II period comedy from its humdrum direction. Running time: 92 minutes, minutes PG-13 (vulgarity, profanity, brief partial nudity, violence, brief sex)
NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS ** Not without a few goofy thrills, but we've seen most if not all of this done better before. Running time: 124 minutes, PG (violence, vulgarity, mild profanity)
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN *** 1/2 The Coen brothers' most assured accomplished movie in years. Running time: 117 minutes, R (violence, gore, profanity, drugs, vulgarity, slurs)
OVER HER DEAD BODY * 1/2 A charmless, mediocre romantic comedy with supernatural overtones. Eva Longoria Parker stars. Running time: 96 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, profanity, violence, brief sex, brief nudity, brief drugs)
P.S. I LOVE YOU ** Hilary Swank seems out of sorts in this two-hour sitcom. Running time: 126 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, profanity, brief sex, brief partial nudity, slapstick violence, slurs, brief drugs)
PENELOPE ** 1/2 This modern-day fairy tale is generally charming but is seriously thin on laugh-out-loud moments. Christina Ricci stars. Running time: 85 minutes, PG (vulgarity, profanity) Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel
THE PIRATES WHO DON'T DO ANYTHING: A VEGGIETALES MOVIE *** The latest, theatrical "VeggieTale" has plenty of kid-level humor, a decent story and a positive message. Running time: 85 minutes, G (nothing offensive) Bill Goodykoontz, Gannett News Service
