Women at the Box Office This Weekend

It's a good thing that its Passover tomorrow night and Sunday (for us Jews) because it is a depressing weekend for women at the box office. The new Judd Apatow misogynistic dick film (there is supposedly 37 frames of full frontal male nudity, and Judd Apatow said on the Daily Show this week that his goal is to get a penis in each of his films. Such an important goal in life, don't you think?)

But hold tight, next week with the release of the Helen Hunt film Then She Found Me (starting in NY and LA and rolling out across the country throughout May) and Tina Fey's Baby Mama (which I haven't seen yet) will make it a much brighter weekend.

So this weekend its time to catch up on what's been playing so that next week you are ready for the new films.
Remaining in Theatres:
Nim's Island
Persepolis
Under the Same Moon
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
Penelope
My Blueberry Nights
and Kimberly Peirce's excellent Iraq war movie- Stop-Loss
