A misfit macaw named Blu (voice of Jesse Eisenberg) heads to Rio de Janeiro, embarks on a magnificent journey, and makes some loyal new friends in this animated adventure for the entire family. Domesticated from the time he was just a hatchling, Blu traded a life in the clouds for a contented existence in Moose Lake with his doting owner, Linda (Leslie Mann). They live under the impression that Blu is the last of his kind, but upon receiving word that a female macaw named Jewel (Anne Hathaway) has been discovered in Rio de Janeiro, Linda and Blu set their sights on South America on a mission to replenish the species. Shortly after their arrival in the Brazilian capitol, however, the two rare birds fall victim to a gang of greedy animal smugglers intent on making a mint by selling Blu and Jewel to the highest bidder. But the headstrong Jewel isn't about to be locked in a cage and put on display, so when the opportunity arises she stages a daring escape with the help of some wisecracking local birds, and takes her new friend Blu along for the ride. With the bumbling birdnappers fast closing in, Blu realizes that his only hope for making a clean getaway and reuniting with Linda is to finally summon the courage he needs to take flight. Rio also features the voices of Tracy Morgan, Jamie Foxx, George Lopez, and will.i.am. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Hanna-Barbera's beloved picnic-basket-stealing bear makes his big-screen debut in this live-action/animation mix children's flick from Journey to the Center of the Earth director Eric Brevig. The tourists just aren't flocking to Jellystone Park like they used to, and when the budget starts to get tight, Mayor Brown (Andrew Daly) brings down the axe. But while the mayor can certainly make a quick buck by selling the land, what about the families who like to spend their summers in the great outdoors? When Yogi (Dan Aykroyd) and Boo-Boo (Justin Timberlake) discover they're about to become homeless, they realize that their only hope for keeping Jellystone open is to team up with their old enemy Ranger Smith (Tom Cavanagh) and wage wildlife warfare against greedy Mayor Brown. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Directed by Mike Mitchell, Surviving Christmas finds Drew Latham (Ben Affleck) uneager to spend another lonely Christmas in his own home. Longing for holidays past, Drew travels to his childhood home intending to relive the experience of a family Christmas -- unfortunately, his family no longer lives there. This represents only a small snafu to Drew, who offers the Valco patriarch and his wife (Sopranos star James Gandolfini and Catherine O'Hara) a huge amount of money if they consent to pretend they are his parents and that he is a cherished member of the family. This entails participating in Latham family traditions, such as Christmas tree selection and crowded holiday shopping excursions. Though the Valcos reluctantly go along with Drew's requests, Alicia, their eldest daughter, arrives at home and refuses to comply with her "brother's" wishes. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

1999  
 
It must be 1977: everyone is going to see Star Wars, including our friends from That '70s Show. Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) is so fascinated by the film that he sees it again and again and again -- even turning down an opportunity for a "golden moment" with Jackie (Mila Kunis). In other disturbances in the Force, Donna (Laura Prepon) finds herself the romantic bone of contention between Eric (Topher Grace) and his old friend David (Scott Whyte) -- who happens to be the son of Red's (Kurtwood Smith) new boss -- and Laurie (Lisa Robin Kelly) is driven to a rash act out of sheer boredom. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

It is career day, meaning that all the kids must spend 24 hours working for their parents. Eric (Topher Grace) does hospital duty with his mother, Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp); Hyde (Danny Masterson) teams up with his mom, Edna (Katey Sagal) at the school cafeteria, with a little help from Fez (Wilmer Valderrama); and Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) tries to make sense of his father's office job. Things take a surprising turn when Eric's dad, Red (Kurtwood Smith), who has a notoriously low opinion of his son's friends, discovers to his delight that Jackie (Mila Kunis) is a mechanical whiz. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Eric (Topher Grace) feels that his manhood is threatened when Donna (Laura Prepon) beats him at basketball -- and practically everything. It is Jackie (Mila Kunis) who ends up giving Donna some womanly advice (mid-'70s style): don't be so darn good when your guy is around. Meanwhile, Eric's dad, Red (Kurtwood Smith), has gone on a home-repair binge. Unfortunately, nothing is broken -- at least not yet. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This TV sitcom takes the viewer back to the world of leisure suits, smiley-face buttons, and Farrah Fawcett-Majors posters. In 1976 in Point Place, WI, 17-year-old Eric Forman (Topher Grace) tries to wiggle free of his neurotic parents, Red (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp), in order to connect with his funkedelic friends -- his cute neighbor Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon), his best buddy Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher), Kelso's girlfriend, Jackie Burkhart (Mila Kunis), paranoid Steve Hyde (Danny Masterson), and foreign-exchange student Fez (Wilmer Valderrama). Filmed in L.A., the series premiered August 23, 1998, on FOX. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

The newly unattached Jim (Charles Kimbrough) looks forward to escorting the Raven-Haired Receptionist (Mary-Margaret Humes) to Mr. Lansing's testimonial dinner (actually a charity benefit for strippers!) Unfortunately, a few wires get crossed, and Miller (Christopher Rich) ends up with the "dream" date instead. Meanwhile, the relationship between Frank (Joe Regalbuto) and Dana is sorely strained by Frank's sudden upsurge in popularity with the opposite sex. Hector Elizondo and Jane Seymour appear as themselves. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Murphy (Candice Bergen) desperately seeks an ally at the network when Kay (Lily Tomlin) presumptively decides to move the entire "FYI" staff to California. The situation prompts Murphy to join forces with Mr. Lansing's weaselly nephew Andrew (Paul Reubens), now ensconsed in a Buddhist monastery. Unfortunately, Andrew proves to be an even greater threat to "FYI" than Kay, whereupon Murphy comes up with "Plan B" (or is it "Plan C"). Watch for a hilarious cameo by Drew Carey Show regulars Diedrich Bader and Ryan Stiles. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

To boost the sagging morale of the "FYI" personnel, Kay (Lily Tomlin) orders the staff to spend a weekend at a retreat in Mexico. Sounds like a lot of fun, right? Wrong! Among the disaster befalling our heroes and heroines: Murphy (Candice Bergen) ends up face to face with the employees of a corrupt company that she exposed on the air, Corky (Faith Ford) gets way too much sun as she pines away for for the absent Miles, Frank (Joe Regalbuto) becomes convinced that he's about to be fired, and newly-single Jim (Charles Kimbrough) forgets to pack his undies. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Frank (Joe Regalbuto) manages to mount a stage production of his autobiographical play, but it is Murphy who is placed in charge of the show when Frank is forced to go out of town. Under normal circumstances, Murphy's autocratic nature would run roughshod over the proceedings, but she promises to maintain a strict "hands-off" policy as the rehearsals proceed. All this changes, however, when at the very last minute the play's director makes a VERY radical cast change! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Much to dismay of the "FYI" staffers, dimbulb Miller Redfield (Christopher Rich) is chosen as Jim's replacement. It finally falls to Murphy (Candice Bergen) to try to coax Jim back into the fold--a job which she thinks will be easy considering the cacophonous chaos within ICN headquarters. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Murphy (Candice Bergen) is certain that obnoxious Andrew Lansing (Paul Reubens) is trying to come on to her when she is barraged with candy, flowers and other assorted gifts from a "mysterious" admirer.

After nearly getting killed during a jailhouse interview with a multiple murderer, Frank (Joe Regalbuto) wants nothing more to do with "action" stories. Network president Lansing (Garry Marshall), however, has other ideas, and insists that Frank continue risking his neck for big ratings.

It is bad enough when the insufferable Miller Stanfield (Christopher Rich) wins the Humboldt Award for a story which the "FYI" staff had labored on to save Miller's behind. It's even worse when the clueless Miller displays a mile-long streak of ingratitude, acting as though he and he alone was responsible for his success. Curiously, Murphy (Candice Bergen) makes no move to exact vengeance upon Miller--at least not right away! Edwin Newman makes a cameo appearance. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

There's only one problem: The aforementioned software mogul has just purchased the network! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
