On the screen: New films, special screenings, large formats and continuing movies in Utah

NEW FILMS FRIDAY

THE BACK-UP PLAN — ★ — A crude comedy that's not exactly a great big-screen return for Jennifer Lopez. Running time: 100 minutes, PG-13 (vulgarity, profanity, sex, violence, brief partial nudity, slurs)

CREATION — ★★★ — As period dramas go, "Creation" is quiet and modest. Paul Bettany stars. Running time: 108 minutes; PG-13 (adult themes — David Germain, Associated Press

THE LOSERS —★★½ — There's just enough over-the-top action to right this sketchy revenge-thriller, based on the Vertigo Comics series. Jeffrey Dean Morgan stars. Running time: 98 minutes, PG-13 (violence, vulgarity, profanity, drugs, sex, brief gore, slurs)

TERRIBLY HAPPY — ★★★½ — A dark noirish thriller that will appeal to those who love the genre. Danish with subtitles, running time: 100 minutes, not rated, probable R (violence, sex, profanity, drugs, vulgarity, brief gore, slurs)

A TOWN CALLED PANIC — ★★½ — An odd, clay-animated comedy that's unlike anything currently being done in the animation realm. French with subtitles, running time: 75 minutes, not rated, probable PG (violence, profanity, slurs)
