Adam Sandler co-writes and produces this Columbia Pictures comedy starring Nick Swardson as Bucky Larson, a nerd from nowhere who heads out West to become a porn star after finding out his parents were ones themselves. Upon arriving in Hollywood, a waitress (Christina Ricci) with self-esteem issues gets him situated in the slightly less seedy part of town. Meanwhile, Bucky connects with a friend of his parents, Miles Deep (Don Johnson), who pities the backwards man-child and gives him a shot in the world of porn - only to discover that he's severely lacking in both experience and manliness. Through sheer luck, the footage of Bucky becomes a viral hit on the internet and he is propelled to the top of the adult film business, irking the current king of porn actors, Dick Shadow (Stephen Dorff), who'll do anything to not be in the shadow of the small time fool. The Hot Chick's Tom Brady handled directing duties. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Even still, Jack always dreads the coming of Thanksgiving because for him, the holiday only means one thing: a visit from his needy, annoying, passive-aggressive, neurotic, identical twin sister, Jill (also played by Sandler). ~ Cammila Albertson, Rovi

Optimistic college-football player Will (Owen Benjamin) finds his burgeoning romance with beautiful Renaissance Faire performer Kate (Christina Ricci) thrown into jeopardy during a competition to distinguish the nobles from the peasants in this romantic comedy featuring Ann-Margret, Nadine Velazquez, Bill Engvall, Cedric the Entertainer, and Matthew Lillard. An all-star on the gridiron, Will finds his athletic future in jeopardy after cutting class a few too many times. So when Professor Shockworthy (Cedric the Entertainer) offers Will the opportunity to earn a passing grade by joining the Greenbriar Theater Troupe at the All's Faire in Love Renaissance Faire, the brash jock has no choice but to accept. Little does Will realize he's about to meet the woman of his dreams. A former investment banker who left behind a career in finance to pursue a career in drama, Kate has decided to join her cousin Jo (Louise Griffiths) at the Renaissance Faire, and get lost in character. Trouble arises, however, when the chief benefactress announces a competition between the lowly Greenbriar Theater Troupe and the stately Troupe of Royals to determine which acting company will gain control of the Renaissance Faire's prestigious Shakespearean stage. And with the shifty Rank (Chris Wylde) leading the Troupe of Royals, Greenbriar Theater Troupe has their work cut out for them. Somewhere in the course of fighting for the underdogs, however, Will and Kate realize that despite their differences, they might just be the perfect match. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In each episode of Heckle U, Chance and his uncle Lou sit down with sexy reporter Amanda Marsh (Katie Cleary) to offer thoughtful lessons in heckling, and discuss the finer points of being a professional heckler. From the power of the well-placed jibe to methods of overcoming Heckler's Block, and the road to the championship game, no topic is off limits as Chance and Lou reflect back on their favorite moments in heckling history. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
