MAD MONEY — ** — A cutesy-poo caper comedy of the overfamiliar variety. Diane Keaton stars. Running time: 98 minutes, PG-13 (sex, vulgarity, profanity, brief drugs) — Roger Moore, The Orlando Sentinel

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)

THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL — **— This costume drama features a yawn-inducing, sketchy and fairly questionable version of historical events. Scarlett Johansson stars. Running time: 110 minutes, PG-13 (sex, violence, vulgarity, mild profanity, brief gore, 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
