...Latifah has the most beautiful face in movies. I'm not sure what's in that smile, but it rarely seems less than radiant, and never more so than here. Hudson, who won an Oscar for Dreamgirls, is stalwart, defiant and winning as Lily's nanny and de facto stepmom. Okonedo, an Oscar nominee for Hotel Rwanda, has a poignant smile that breaks through May's tears like the sun during a storm; of all the strong performances in Bees, hers is the one most likely to attract Academy attention...

The Golden Compass was middling-good, with a beguiling central performance by 13-year-old Dakota Blue Richards, a slinky turn by Nicole Kidman as an evil-stepmom type and a nifty polar-bear fight.

When I did Anywhere But Here, for instance, it was a nice way to practice learning to let go of my daughter...
...monkey"). The movie was written, in one of those only-in-Hollywood scenarios, by the equally idiosyncratic Diablo Cody after a talent manager stumbled across her blog and got her a deal. Garner and Jason Bateman play the potential parents, but it's Juno's dad (J.K. Simmons) and stepmom (Allison Janney) who steal the show. This is not the first movie this year in which people get pregnant and then find out how they feel about each other, but it could be the most humane.n
