...back advising Junior, to the dismay of head trainer Roger, his brother, who, incidentally, just finished a six-month jail stretch for battery. The brothers aren't speaking. "Why would I have to be concerned about my brother's thoughts or feelings?" asks Roger during a Mayweather workout in Las Vegas. He is wearing a T shirt with Sesame Street characters, except Bert is chugging a 40-oz. beer, Oscar is flipping the bird and Big Bird is smoking. The shirt reads: DONTMESSWITME STREET...

In Shooter, the hero-on-the-run gets brief assistance from a young widow (Kate Mara) before returning to his mission of evaporating a million bad guys. Girlish Jon Heder, one of the two skaters in the Will Ferrell hit Blades of Glory, does have a love interest (Jenna Fischer), but Ferrell doesn't--unless it's Heder...
