ALSO OPENING
BRATZ
The teenage dolls with a “passion for fashion” make their big-screen debut in a live-action adventure that finds Yasmin (Nathalia Ramos), Jade (Janel Parrish), Sasha (Logan Browning) and Cloe (Skyler Shaye) heading to high school — and battling peer pressure. At multiple locations. (110 minutes) PG; thematic elements.
EL CANTANTE
The life of ’70s salsa pioneer Hector Lavoe (Marc Anthony), who rises to stardom — and falls into heroin abuse, a suicide attempt and AIDS — inspires a musical biography produced by Anthony’s wife, Jennifer Lopez, who co-stars as Lavoe’s wife, Puchi. At multiple locations. (116 minutes) R; drug use, pervasive profanity, sexual situations.
HOT ROD
A bumbling amateur stuntman (Andy Samberg) tries to survive multiple stunt jumps — to raise the $50,000 he needs to finance a heart transplant for his abusive stepfather (“Deadwood’s” Ian McShane) in this comedy featuring “Wedding Crashers’ ” Isla Fisher, Sissy Spacek, “Blades of Glory’s” Will Arnett and “SNL” vet Chris Parnell. At multiple locations. (83 minutes) PG-13; crude humor, profanity, comic drug-related and violent content.
UNDERDOG
The ’60s cartoon favorite goes live-action as a lab accident zaps a canine (voiced by Jason Lee) with serious superpowers — which he’ll need if he hopes to save Capitol City from maniacal scientist Simon Barsinister (Peter Dinklage) and his henchman Cad (Patrick Warburton). Amy Adams (who voices Underdog’s spaniel sweetheart, Polly Purebred) and James Belushi co-star. At multiple locations. (84 minutes) PG; rude humor, mild profanity and action.
