Salmon Fishing in the Yemen: A sheik (Amr Waked) hatches a scheme to build a manmade river in Yemen, and an investment consultant (Emily Blunt) and a pencil pusher (Ewan McGregor) are tasked with turning it into reality. It's a sweet, good-natured film about soothing the soul.

The Three Stooges: The Farrelly brothers' labor of love transplants the 1930s-40s comedy team (uncannily re-created by Sean Hayes, Will Sasso and Chris Diamantopoulos) to modern times, where they wreak glorious havoc en route to saving an orphanage. The Farrellys display profound insight into the Stooges' shame-based misfit humor, bringing out the trace of sweetness submerged in the sadism.
