A dysfunctional family living on a picturesque island in the Bronx spares no expense in avoiding the truth about their messed-up lives in writer/director Raymond de Felitta's dark family comedy. The family patriarch, Vince (Andy Garcia) is a prison guard who is secretly plotting a new career as an actor. Meanwhile, as Vince takes acting lessons on the down low, his daughter moonlights as a stripper and his younger namesake harbors a secret fetish that involves the family's 300-pound neighbor. Under normal circumstances Vincent's wife, Joyce (Julianna Margulies), would be the family rock, but lately she's been preoccupied with uncovering the identity of the hired help, a secret that only her husband knows. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A struggling writer finds his marriage in trouble when he and his wife arrive at her ex-boyfriend's country house for a relaxing weekend away in director Marka Gajczaka's erotic, psychosexual thriller. When Michal invited Piotr and his wife Iza to spend a weekend at his luxurious country home, Piotr realized that things could get uncomfortable. Michal is the owner of a successful new advertising agency, and recently hired Piotr to write a few jingles. But even if Iza did convince Michal to give Piotr the job, the truth is that they could use the money; Piotr's literary career has all but dried up, and a little cash could be just the thing that he and Iza need to get back on their feet. Upon arriving at the house, Piotr and Iza are greeted by Michal's new girlfriend Ania. An exotic beauty of the highest order, Ania instantly becomes the object of Piotr's secret lust. Later, while pondering whether or not Michel is still in love with his wife, Piotr finds his gaze constantly drifting to the other woman in the room. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
An unlikely couple find themselves caught up in love and larceny in this comic road movie from director Murilo Pasta. Carmo (Mariana Loureiro) lives in a small village near the Brazilian border where she's the most desired woman in town. However, being chased and/or ogled by the many ne'er-do-wells living there isn't her idea of a good time, and Carmo thinks she may have finally found her hero when Marco (Fele MartÃnez) comes to her defense as she's being chased by a handful of lowlifes. Marco hardly seems like a prize catch in most people's eyes -- he's an ill-tempered man a couple decades Carmo's senior who is confined to a wheelchair and sells dubiously obtained knickknacks for a living. Still, Carmo and Marco find that they make a good team, and when some crooks make off with a truck loaded with Marco's merchandise, the two hit the road, determined to find the crooks and recover the loot. Carmo, Hit the Road received its North American premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
