The Latest in Theaters: Flying High

Spring is just about sprung, so before the summer movie season begins with Iron (Man) force next week, here are this week's latest releases:
  • Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay: John Cho and Kal Penn's lovable stoners are back for more high times, along with an image-skewering Neil Patrick Harris.
  • Baby Mama: Tina Fey wants a baby but can't; enter Amy Poehler as a crass surrogate. Greg Kinnear, Maura Tierney and Sigourney Weaver co-star in this new laffer.
  • Deception: Hugh Jackman, Ewan McGregor and Michelle Williams star in this racy thriller about sex, lies and murder.
  • Then She Found Me: If you've been wondering what Helen Hunt has been up to lately (and really, who hasn't), well, this is it: she not only stars in but also directs this dramedy. Bette Midler, Colin Firth and Matthew Broderick co-star.
  • And finally -- Rogue: Because the world needs more movies about giant man-eating crocodiles. Especially if the man being eaten is Michael Vartan.
Also opening this week in limited release: Four Minutes and A Plumm Summer. Click on the links to read what our own Chris Carpenter had to say about them in his latest Reverend's Reviews.

UPDATE: Despite the presence of NPH, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay is this year's Wild Hogs, per AfterElton.com.
