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

A pair of super-sized snakes have escaped from a top-secret research laboratory, destroying the European countryside and consuming everything in their path as the terror continues in this made-for-cable installment of the slithering Anaconda series. In a secret government compound deep underground, brilliant research scientist Amanda (Crystal Allen) studies a pair of enormous snakes for a series of experiments funded by wealthy recluse Murdoch (John Rhys-Davies). When Murdoch crosses the line, disaster strikes and his two most prized snakes quickly find their way to the surface. Hungry, angry, and with nothing to prevent them from consuming everything and everyone who happens to cross their paths, the two snakes terrorize the locals until ruthless mercenary Hammett (David Hasselhoff) appears determined to put them on the endangered species list. Now, Hammett will team with Amanda on a mission to stop the slaughter before the snakes reach the city. But one of the snakes is pregnant with an entire litter of slithering giants, a fact which could bump mankind one notch down on the food chain should the baby snakes manage to escape and reproduce. With time running out before the snakes reach the city and a new breed emerges, Hammett and Amanda attempt to put their differences aside long enough to dispose of these colossal serpents once and for all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
