On the screen: New films, sneak peaks, special screenings and continuing films in Utah

NEW FILMS FRIDAY

BABIES — ★★★ — The nonfiction film about newborns from around the world doesn't overstay its welcome, and it has some genuinely cute and cuddly subjects. Running time: 79 minutes; PG (nudity, vulgarity, violence, brief drugs, brief gore)

IRON MAN 2 — ★★★½ — The superhero sequel may be overstuffed with characters and story, but it's also funny, exciting and even deceptively smart. Running time: 124 minutes; PG-13 (violence, vulgarity, profanity, brief drugs, brief gore, slurs, nude art)

MULTIPLE SARCASMS — ★★ — The characters in this independently produced drama — at least the major ones — aren't particularly likable or sympathetic. Running time: 97 minutes; R (profanity, vulgarity, slurs, violence)

SNEAK PREVIEW

LETTERS TO JULIET — Romantic comedy-drama starring Amanda Seyfried as a meddling bride-to-be in Italy. To be reviewed when it opens next week.
