“Grown Ups”
In this Adam Sandler comedy, five childhood friends return to their hometown — wives and kids in tow — when their adored basketball coach dies. Predictably, personal reckoning ensues. Still, the draw isn’t the “Big Chill” setup. It’s the stars who play the very different friends: Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider. Their antics are crude, silly and mostly decent-hearted. Salma Hayek Pincault, Maria Bello, Maya Rudolph and Joyce Van Patten are game as their mates. Steve Buscemi gets laughs as a childhood rival. PG-13. 1 hour, 42 minutes. Lisa Kennedy
“Scott Pilgrim vs. the World”
This cross between a teenage rom-com, a superhero adventure and a live-action video game tells of an amiable, 22-year-old Toronto slacker (Michael Cera) who falls for the enigmatic, out-of-his-league Ramona (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). As soon as the couple starts going out, Ramona’s romantic baggage, in the form of her seven evil exes, interrupts their bliss. Each old flame challenges Scott to a duel to the death, the fights becoming progressively more difficult. PG-13. 1 hour 53 minutes. Rene Rodriguez, McClatchy Newspapers
“Charlie St. Cloud”
Zac Efron takes a confident half-step toward becoming a mature romantic lead. He plays Charlie, who is a champion sailor heading to Stanford on an athletic scholarship when his little brother is killed. The near-death trauma that derailed Charlie’s life gave him the ability to see spirits. PG-13. 1 hour, 49minutes. Colin Covert, Star-Tribune (Minneapolis)
