Friday the 13th (2009)

Director Marcus Nispel restarts the slasher franchise in a glossier but familiar fashion: The boys are drunk and high, the girls are topless and Jason, in memory of his mother, kills almost all of them. He enjoys his work, impaling campers in myriad ways.

Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)

Isla Fisher’s charm can’t save a screwball comedy about an addiction to shopping and credit card debt during the current economic crisis — serious subjects for a serious time. What was intended as light fare comes off as irresponsible.

Fanboys (2009)

In a movie about “Star Wars” fanboys that could appeal only to “Star Wars” fanboys, four self-indulgent geeks, joined later by Kristen Bell, travel from Ohio to George Lucas’ Skywalker Ranch in California to steal an early copy of “Star Wars: Episode I.”

He’s Just Not That Into You (2009)

Ginnifer Goodwin — a cute, desperate gal — can’t get a second date in a movie that plays like a too-sweet sitcom with hugs and lessons. It’s just not believable that Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly and Drew Barrymore could be so insecure.

d: Ken Kwapis | imdb.com | trailer | He’s never going to call you.
