Director: Brad Silberling
Stars: Will Ferrell, Danny R. McBride, Anna Friel (Full Cast)
Studio: Universal Pictures

The Plot: A park ranger (Ferrell) and his two kids are sent to a mysterious prehistoric land inhabited by dinosaurs and lizard-like people when an earthquake interrupts one of their routine expeditions.

THE BUZZ: Say what you want about Kroft's original '70s Saturday morning fix (if you can even remember it), sleestaks, pakunies and Marshall Marshall are ripe for parody. And, Ferrell's just the right guy to deliver it. While many seem ready to write off his various shirtless, man-boy, sport-spoof antics, we're not. Mostly because he's still funny as hell. Plus, we can't wait to see what he and already-arrived comic McBride come up with together.

The Hangover

Director: Todd Phillips
Stars: Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, Justin Bartha (Full Cast)
Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures

The Plot: In Las Vegas, three groomsmen lose their about-to-be-wed buddy during their drunken misadventures, forcing them to retrace their steps in order to find him before the church bells ring.

THE BUZZ: Hmm, did Ashton and Cameron's success in Vegas influence director Todd Phillips to finally pick his first project since the woefully misguided School for Scoundrels remake? Whatever the case, Phillips and Warner Bros. are keeping it low budget here, with a B-list cast (at best) that should keep this comedy in the black. It could be worse, though: Ed Burns could've easily directed and starred in this one.

The Proposal

Director: Anne Fletcher
Stars: Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds (Full Cast)
Studio: Walt Disney Pictures

The Plot: A publishing executive (Bullock) forces her assistant (Reynolds) to marry her so she can avoid deportation back to Canada.

THE BUZZ: Step Up director Anne Fletcher is making strides in her career, and she's looking to spotlight "Sandy's" physical-comedy skills here, which will most likely pale in comparison to Ryan Reynolds's innate ability to make annoying behavior somehow charming. Thing is: Both Reynolds and Bullock's respective partners are exponentially hotter than this on-screen pairing, but we sense that 2009 is turning into the Year of the Cougar.

Imagine That

Director: Karey Kirkpatrick

THE BUZZ: Is Murphy's real-world profession in the same state as his character's here? Maybe it's time to make like Adam Sandler and head back out on the stand-up circuit in order to revitalize your career. Either that, or pull a Johnny Gill and disappear from the industry completely.

The Year One

Director: Harold Ramis
Stars: Jack Black, Michael Cera, Olivia Wilde (Full Cast)
Studio: Columbia Pictures

The Plot: When a couple of lazy hunter-gatherers (Black and Cera) are banished from their primitive village, they set off on an epic journey through their ancient world.

THE BUZZ: The Superbad set will be stoked for a 2/3 cast reunion here, while those of us who actually came of age in the late 1970s/early 1980s will note the reemergence of Year One writer-director Harold Ramis, who has a Meatballs remake and Ghostbusters 3 in development. We imagine at least one of these projects will be filming by this summer, and since news of a third Ghostbusters adventure immediately earned more press than this time-traveling comedy, here's a link to a dirt-spreading article on the project, which has direct ties to the production of The Year One.

The Haunting in Connecticut

Director: Peter Cornwell
Stars: Virginia Madsen, Martin Donovan, Elias Koteas (Full Cast)
Studio: Gold Circle Films

The Plot: A family who relocates to Northern Connecticut for their son's health begins to experience supernatural behavior in their new home.

THE BUZZ: This supernatural thriller rides into the summer season with a green director and screenwriting team who will probably spend a lot of time defending their project's blatant similarities to The Amityville Horror. What bothers me more than this copycat-ism is the reveal-all trailer that was released last fall and quickly went stale. Still, you couldn't ask for a better-value cast, with Elias Koteas playing a priest, no less (just like another HBO vet, Idris Elba who plays it Fatherly in David Goyer's The Unborn). And who's that haunted kid with cancer? The Beaver from Veronica Mars! Things could be worse.

My Sister's Keeper

Director: Nick Cassavetes
Stars: Cameron Diaz, Abigail Breslin, Alec Baldwin (Full Cast)
Studio: New Line Cinema

The Plot: When a family matter leads to Anna Fitzgerald (Breslin) learning the truth about her conception, she enlists the services of a seasoned lawyer (Baldwin) in an effort to emancipate herself from her parents (Diaz and Patric).

THE BUZZ: Nick Cassavetes wants to bum you out. Again. Following up Alpha Dog with this adaptation of Jodi Picoult's novel, a story that is almost as depressing as Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones, is destined to make your heart (and Abigail Breslin's kidneys) break. I'm like: Why is this being released in the middle of sunny summer, when it feels predestined to fit into the fall/winter film schedule?
