What Happens in Vegas - Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher star as Joy and Jack in this romantic comedy where money, weddings, and deceit all factor into the story. Screenwriter Dana Fox (The Wedding Date) seems to like the wedding genre. Tom Vaughan (Starter for 10 starring James McAvoy) directs while newcomer Ariel Vialli provides songs.

MAY 16

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - This highly anticipated sequel, the second in the film series, adapts the C.S. Lewis fantasy as the three siblings return to Narnia to help the prince, played by Ben Barnes, reclaim his throne from King Miraz, played by Sergio Castelitto. Liam Neeson and recent Oscar winner Tilda Swinton reprise their roles as Aslan and the White Witch, respectively.

MAY 22

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - Harrison Ford reprises his archeologist/adventurer role with co-stars Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, and Raiders of the Lost Ark co-star Karen Allen. Steven Spielberg directs and also produces with original high profile filmmaker George Lucas. Lucas also handles story/screenplay duties with David Koepp and Jeff Nathanson. THE movie to beat this summer. 

MAY 30

The Foot Fist Way - This R-rated comedy is about an instructor who encounters challenges in his marriage and martial arts life. The first movie from Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's Gary Sanchez Productions. (Limited release)

Sex in the City: The Movie - All the ladies return to pick up where the HBO television series final episode left off, including Carrie's plans with Big. Jennifer Hudson also co-stars and sings on the star-filled music soundtrack.

The Strangers (2008) - Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman (Underworld) star in this thriller written and directed by newcomer Bryan Bertino. This happy couple finds less fun when three troublemakers ruin their good time. Sounds like the recently released Funny Games, except with one more troublemaker.
