'Mama' among new DVDs

The following DVDs will be released Tuesday:

• "Baby Mama" (Universal, $29.98) — *** — An inconsistent comedy that works because of its appealing star, former "Saturday Night Live" head writer Tina Fey.

PG-13 (vulgarity, drugs, profanity, violence) —Jeff Vice, Deseret News

• "The Fall" (Sony, $24.96) — ** — A rather messy mix of fantasy, goofy humor and visually arresting, sometimes distracting costume and set designs.

R (violence, gore, drugs, torture, profanity, nude art, vulgarity, slurs) —Jeff Vice, Deseret News

• "The Forbidden Kingdom" (Lionsgate, $29.95) — ** 1/2 — A silly martial-arts fantasy that forces Jackie Chan and Jet Li to play second-fiddle to an American teen.

Special features: Two-disc "special edition" ($34.98) includes digital copy of the film for personal computers.

PG-13 (violence, vulgarity, slurs, profanity, brief drugs, brief gore) —Jeff Vice, Deseret News

• "Sarah Landon and the Paranormal Hour" (Sony, $24.96) — * 1/2 — This would-be horror franchise for teens might be better suited to an early grave.

PG (violence, profanity) —Andy Webster, New York Times News Service
