"Made of Honor"

Tom Bailey (Patrick Dempsey) and Hannah (Michelle Monaghan) first met in college and have become best friends. While Hannah is on a business trip to Scotland, Tom realizes that he has deeper feelings for her and is going to tell her when she returns. Hannah comes back engaged to her perfect man and asks Tom to be her maid of honor. Knowing that his only chance of breaking up the wedding is from the inside, he agrees. You just know - whatever happens from this point on - that Tom will get the girl.

"88 Minutes"

Dr. Jack Gramm (Al Pacino) is a Seattle forensic psychiatrist and college professor who works closely with the FBI. His expert testimony helped convict Jon Forster (Neal McDonough), known as "The Seattle Slasher." The day before his execution, a woman is murdered in the style of the slasher, and all signs point to a copycat. At the same time, Gramm gets a phone call, telling him that he has 88 minutes to live. Clues start to show up that point to Gramm being involved in the murder. He works to clear his name and find the killer, but time is running out.

"Speed Racer"

The Racer family consists of Pops (John Goodman), Mom (Susan Sarandon), Rex (Scott Porter), Speed (Emile Hirsch) and Sprite (Paulie Litt). They have a small company, for which Rex races the Mach One. He crashes, and years later Speed - driving the Mach Five - is coming into his own. When Speed wins a big race, he is courted by a big corporation that wants him to drive under its name. Most of the big races are fixed, and he will be able to compete with the help of Racer X (Matthew Fox) and an honest corporate backer. The races and the special effects are terrific.

"The Love Guru"

Guru Pitka (Mike Meyers) plays second fiddle to Deepak Chopra, with whom he studied as a child under the guidance of Guru Tugginmypudha (Ben Kingsley). His goal is to be on Oprah, and his break comes when the owner of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Jane Bullard (Jessica Alba), hires him to get her star player reunited with his wife, who ran off with the goalie (Justin Timberlake) of the L.A. Kings. Pitka teaches a lifestyle called D.R.A.M.A., and there are some funny moments along with some cameos.
