MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Comedy/Fantasy
Director: Nisha Ganatra
Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Lindsay Lohan, Julia Butters, Sophia Hammons, Mark Harmon, Manny Jacinto
A bland and uninspired Disney sequel that lacks charm, humor, and fresh storytelling, feeling more like a lazy made-for-TV movie than a theatrical feature.

Genre: Comedy
Director: Greg Berlanti
Cast: Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum, Woody Harrelson, Ray Romano, Jim Rash, Anna Garcia

MPAA Rating: "PG-13" (Violence)
Genre: Horror
Director: Emma Tammi
Cast: Josh Hutcherson, Piper Rubio, Elizabeth Lail, Matthew Lillard, Mary Stuart Masterson

Genre: Comedy
Director: Michael Ritchie
Cast: Chevy Chase, Joe Don Baker, Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, Richard Libertini, Tim Matheson, M. Emmet Walsh, George Wendt, Geena Davis
