Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler are paired in this comedy that has elements of action and romance. Nicole (Aniston) and Milo (Butler) used to be married, but now hate each other. A reporter digging hard on a big story, Nicole misses a court date and becomes a fugitive. Milo, once a cop, is now a bounty hunter, and he's delighted when he's assigned to bring his ex-wife in. But soon the former spouses are on the run together. Her reporting has angered some dangerous criminals, and some thugs are after him to collect on gambling debts. Jason Sudeikis and Christine Baranski play supporting roles.

Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale, Margot at the Wedding) directed this small, talky character study starring Ben Stiller as Roger Greenberg, who gives the movie its title. Stiller gives a fine performance, as does his costar, Greta Gerwig, previously known for mumblecore films like Hannah Takes the Stairs. The neurotic 41-year-old Greenberg is going through an identity crisis when he house-sits for a few weeks. He meets 27-year-old Florence (Gerwig), who has her own identity issues. There's little plot, but the movie's strength is in closely observing unglamorous life in LA.

Directed and co-written by Rick Famuyiwa (Brown Sugar), this culture-clash comedy stars Forest Whitaker, America Ferrera (TV's Ugly Betty), Carlos Mencia  and Lance Gross (TV's House of Payne). Set in L.A., the story centers on the marriage of a young woman from a Latino family to a young man from a prosperous African-American family. Marcus Boyd (Gross), the groom, is a physician who is marrying Lucia Ramirez (Ferrera), but their fathers (Whitaker and Mencia) get off on the wrong foot with each other. Lucia's grandmother faints, and the goat gets into the Viagra.
