'Cars 2' has computer-generated animation.
'Bridesmaids' is an appealing comedy.

By Rama Gaind

Bridesmaids: Causing havoc in this humourous film, Kristen Wilg plays an insecure bridesmaid to her best friend (Maya Rudolph) who to tries to get her life together.

This is an unexpected comedy that’s directed by Paul Feig.

It’s interesting to note that Wilg wrote the script with Annie Mumolo.

Mr Popper’s Penguins: This is a charming comedy that sees Jim Carrey inheriting six penguins.

An ideal distraction for little ones, this film sees Carrey working hard not to be upstaged by the computer-enhanced penguins who work their work through Manhattan and end up teaching the lead character some much-needed lessons.

Cars 2: Sure to delight the youngsters, but this is an average sequel in animation in the company of a talking tow truck.

Kung Fu Panda 2: Returning to fight a genocidal peacock, Po (Jack Black) is joined by his film star-voiced animal companions in an amusing, visually eye-catching 3D animation.

The Tree of Life: Tackling some big questions about life, God and the universe comes this portrayal of 1950s boyhood.

In the midst of this is the tender chronicle of an ordinary family in post-war Texas.

There is much entrancing imagery in Terrence Malick’s boyhood portrayal.

While Brad Pitt and Jessica Chastain convincingly portray the grace and strain of a marriage, Hunter McCracken as their oldest son, Jack, takes us through a journey into the soul of a young man struggling with the unknown in his own life.
