Wild boys, glamour girls, and Canadians — again! — storm the box office this week.
Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour
(Disney)
If you have no idea who Hannah Montana or Miley Cyrus are (or don't know that they are the same person), and you don't have tween girls in your immediate family, you'll probably never realize that this concert film is being released — in 3-D no less — for a limited theatrical run. If you do manage to get tickets, however, you'll appreciate how easy the crystal-clear 3-D presentation makes it to see them slip in a body double during Miley's/Hannah's wardrobe changes.
Strange Wilderness
(Paramount)
With a cast made up of a little piece of almost every major comedy clique (the film is written and directed by Saturday Night Live writer Fred Wolf and stars Judd Apatow regulars Jonah Hill and Justin Long, as well as Curb Your Enthusiasm's Jeff Garlin, Broken Lizard's Kevin Heffernan, and Adam Sandler cohorts Allen Covert and Peter Dante), Strange Wilderness could be a sleeper masterpiece, or it could be an all-over-the-place mess. Wilderness follows the hapless crew of a nature-documentary series (hosted by Steve Zahn) as they go to outrageous lengths to up their ratings.
Trailer Park Boys: The Movie
(Screen Media)
A Canadian cult TV show that never quite found a foothold in the U.S., the Trailer Park Boys' cinematic outing is likely to fly under the radar of those who've never heard of it, but to longtime fans is equivalent to The Phantom Menace. Essentially, it's about a trio of hapless Canuck losers who hatch a get-rich-quick heist scheme from within their mobile-home paradise.
