as they move their five daughters into a new home. As they set up their
new household, the family experiences strange sounds and odd
occurrences... by the time they call the Warrens, the seven of them are
sleeping together in the living room to protect themselves from whatever

Coming of Age
Tomboy Lucy (Sarah Bolger) is growing up-- her first kiss has led to an awareness of both her own sexuality and the lives of the adults around her in As Cool As I Am. Though she never saw anything strange about her lumberjack father's (James Marsden) months-long absences, or how little her mother (Claire Danes) seems to miss him, her new perspective makes her aware of a lot she had been missing in her own life. With Thomas Mann.
When his mother (Toni Collette) and her new boyfriend Trent (Steve Carell) drag 14-year-old Duncan (Liam James) along with them for a Cape Cod summer vacation, he's dreading the trip in The Way Way Back.

Duncan, so he finds a safe haven in the local water park. Mentored by
Owen (Sam Rockwell), Duncan gets a job at the park, where he can thrive among his diverse group of coworkers (including Maya Rudolph) and find some self-esteem away from Trent's bullying. He might even gain enough confidence to woo AnnaSophia Robb. With Allison Janney. On DVD and Blu Ray.Comedies
Billy and Nick (Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson) are ace salesmen who find themselves jobless in The Internship, so they apply as interns at Google. They're older than everyone else in the program and don't really have any computer skills, so Billy and Nick end up on an intern team with other misfits and outcasts. Only one team will be guaranteed Google jobs, and Billy and Nick's group of outsiders don't think they can compete with an alpha-team of programmers (led by Max Minghella), but before you can say "slobs vs. snobs," they set out to prove that some oddball charm and can-do spirit can win the day. With Rose Byrne. On DVD and Blu Ray.

the guests pile in and Jennifer discovers some of her friends are among
Paul's affairs, she and her sister (Dreama Walker)
are in for quite a night. With the apartment filling up with a wide
assortment of characters, from an unstable photographer to a rocker with
no impulse control, Jennifer's birthday might not be going the way
she'd hoped, but it's bound to be memorable. With Tate Ellington.Ambitious careerwoman Nat (Rose Byrne) and aspiring writer Josh (Rafe Spall) fall in love at first sight in I Give It a Year, and marry after only six months together. Their friends doubt that driven Nat and layabout Josh have a future together, and their differences do begin to stack up as they get on each other's nerves. Worse, Josh's old girlfriend (Anna Faris), who shares his laid back sense of humor, returns, and Nat's new client (Simon Baker) is a dashing and successful entrepreneur. They know that marriage isn't easy, but they have to decide whether making their contrasting natures fit together is worth the work. With Stephen Merchant and Minnie Driver. On DVD and Blu Ray.
