Just friends: Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart, Anna Faris, Christopher Marquette, Chris Klein.R.I.P.D.: Jeff Bridges, Kevin Bacon, Ryan Reynolds, James Hong, Mary-Louise Parker.The change-up: Ryan Reynolds, Jason Bateman, Leslie Mann, Olivia Wilde, Craig Bierko.The hitman's bodyguard: Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L. Jackson, Gary Oldman, Salma Hayek.Van Wilder: Party Liason: Ryan Reynolds, Tara Reid, Tim Matheson, Paul Gleason, Kal Penn.Waiting: Ryan Reynolds, Anna Faris, Justin Long, Kaitlin Doubleday, Dane Cook.Just friends: During their high school years, Chris confessed his love for his best friend and was met with a broken heart and degrading humiliation. Adding insult to injury, Chris was a big guy and was a source of ridicule for cruel classmates. Years later things have changed and Chris is now a hotshot record producer in Hollywood and the complete physical opposite of himself in high school. When a freak accident occurs on the way to Paris, Chris is forced to return home with Samantha James, an up and coming act in tow. Little does he know that he would come face to face with the friend that he tried so desperately to forget. With the chance to woo her again, Chris will do what he can despite his client's violent misgivings and a competitive rival suitor against him. No matter the crazy obstacles he must overcome, Chris will do whatever it takes to be more than just friends.R.I.P.D.: Two cops are dispatched by the Rest In Peace Department (R.I.P.D.) to protect and serve the living from increasingly destructive spirits hiding among the unsuspecting Earth. When they uncover a plot that could end life as we know it, the new partners have to turn grudging respect into top-notch teamwork to restore the cosmic balance-or watch the tunnel to the afterlife begin sending angry souls the very wrong way.The change-up: Growing up together, Mitch and Dave were inseparable best friends, but slowly drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child. Both guys seem to think the other has it made. Following a drunken night out together, Mitch and Dave's worlds are turned upside down when they wake up in each other's bodies. The guys soon discover that each other's lives are nowhere near as rosy as they once seemed.The hitman's bodyguard: The world's top protection agent is called upon to guard the life of his mortal enemy, one of the world's most notorious hitmen.Van Wilder: Party Liason: He's the biggest man on campus. He's the boss with the sauce. He's the guy all the girls want and all the guys want to be. 'Cause in the collegiate jungle, there can be only one king, and at Coolidge College it's Van Wilder.Waiting: Dean and Monty are two longtime friends who work as waiters as Shenanigan's, a "fun" chain restaurant. Both have been working at the restaurant for about four years and it has only recently occurred to Dean that he has nothing to show for his life but a community college diploma and his name tag from work. He has developed a sudden urgency to make something of himself. Monty, on the other hand, is more interested in making time with the women on the restaurant's wait staff than accomplishing anything. Over the course of an evening at Shenanigan's, Dean and Monty confront obnoxious customers; train timid new employee Mitch; deal with the wildly eccentric chef Raddimus; control-freak manager Dan; and various other kitchen staff who are either crazed cooks, prep workers, or dish-washers.MPA rating: R.DVD, wide screen and full screen.
