NEW FILMS FRIDAY

AWAY WE GO — ★★★ — What saves this amiable comedy-drama is that we come to know and care about its characters. Running time: 94 minutes, R (vulgarity, profanity, sex, nude art, slurs, brief drugs)

MY SISTER'S KEEPER — ★★½ — A manipulative drama that does wring a few tears out of audiences along the way. Running time: 109 minutes, PG-13 (profanity, drugs, vulgarity, brief sex, brief gore, slurs, violence, nude art)

RUDO Y CURSI — ★★ — This tone-deaf comedy-drama keeps trying to convince us it's light-hearted. Spanish with subtitles, running time: 102 minutes, R (profanity, vulgarity, drugs, violence, slurs, sex, nudity)

SUMMER HOURS — ★★½ — The sense of realism can only sustain this downbeat drama for so long. French with subtitles, running time: 103 minutes, not rated, probable PG-13 (drugs, profanity, slurs, vulgarity, brief sex, nude artwork)
