...movies, The Bounty Hunter, starred that offscreen love pair Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler - Jenni-Butt to the gossip rags - in a romcom battle of the exes. Another, Repo Men, sent Jude Law and Forest Whitaker cavorting through a high-tech dystopia. The weekend's third big debut, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, boasted no stars, an inexpensive marketing campaign and low expectations from industry gurus. All it had going for it was a popular series of kid-angled novels by Jeff Kinney, who last year was named one of TIME's 100 Most Influential People...
