An aimless 23 year old who has yet to leave home attempts to prove his self-worth by tracking down his childhood love and convincing her to be his date for an upcoming family wedding. Darryl Strozka was breast fed until he was five years old. As a young boy, his classmate Sarah was the love of his life. These days Sarah is a B-movie starlet, and Darryl seems locked in a state of arrested adolescence. When Darryl gets invited to his cousin's wedding and learns that Sarah is shooting a movie in nearby Moon Point, he convinces his best friend Femur to help him get to the set, and score a date for the big event. Trouble is, the only transportation they've got is Femur's electric wheelchair. Along the way, Darryl and Femur encounter an eccentric array of wanderers and misfits ranging from a scrappy young hitchhiker (Paula Brancati) to a recovering alcoholic in a banana suit while learning just what it means to get a second chance at life. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Most of the action in this half-hour animated cable TV series occurred in an enormous shopping mall, the home away from home for six 16-year-old school buddies. Jonesy was the "jerk" of the group, who could never understand why he kept losing jobs and girlfriends; Jen was the "jock", the equal to any athlete, female or male; Nikki was the house "rebel"; Wyatt was the goofiest and most agreeable of the bunch; Jude was the slacker-skateboarder; and Caitlin was the standard-issue dumb blonde. Each episode represented a "first" in the lives of the protagonist: First job, first romance, first bank account, first day behind the wheel, etc.). Created by Tom McGillis and Jennifer Pertsch), 6teen made its Nickelodeon debut on November 1, 2004. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Richard and Barry are two such actors, yet despite the fact that there isn't a single ounce of onscreen charisma between them, their persistence is what keeps them going. But how much humiliation can an aspiring actor endure before they finally call it quits? As Richard and Barry endure humiliating auditions, calamitous television shoots, and embarrassing stints as animal mascots, the answer to that pressing question finally may be closer than either had hoped. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Clothes make the superspy in this high-energy action comedy. Jimmy Tong (Jackie Chan) is a well-meaning but clumsy New York City cab driver who is tapped by Steena (Debi Mazar), associate to multi-millionaire Clark Devlin (Jason Isaacs), for a new job as Devlin's personal limo driver. After a mysterious accident lands Devlin in the hospital, Tong learns that his new boss has a secret -- when he's not wheeling and dealing in high finance, Devlin is also a secret agent for the CSA, a top-level security agency. The secret to Devlin's success as a spy is his trademark tuxedo, a suit which is loaded with special gadgets which turns him into a high-tech fighting machine. After Tong dons the tuxedo and is transformed into a martial arts master, he takes over for Devlin and discovers that the agent's injuries didn't happen by accident. As Tong tries to chase down a handful of international super-villains bent on world conquest, he has to deal with Devlin's new partner, Del Blaine (Jennifer Love Hewitt), a CSA rookie who is just as baffled by her new assignment as Tong. The Tuxedo marked the feature-film debut for director Kevin Donovan, who had previously won international acclaim for his work in television commercials. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
