The top new release will be Captain America, but can it beat the Potter juggernaut to take the top spot?
Consensus
Below is a list of what we have come to a general consensus on. The number in parens represents the percentage of our contributors who agree with the statement.
Captain America: Sure to please comic fans, it could be well worth the price of admission.
Friends with Benefits: For those who love rom-coms, this is your ticket. For everyone else, there’s MasterCard.
Another Earth: It could be quite interesting, but we can probably wait.
A Little Help: Extreme opposite views from our contributors, so no real consensus built for this one.
The Myth of the American Sleepover: Check it out later if at all.
Sarah’s Key: Could be a compelling narrative and may be the best of this week’s releases.

ThoughtsStrangely enough, it doesn’t look too bad. It wouldn’t be an in-theater kind of movie for me, though. |
ThoughtsLooks like the same old modern rom-com with a different name. |
