"Goon," "Think Like a Man" and more new movies Kristen (Gabrielle Union) reads Steve Harvey's book in "Think Like a Man." (Alan Markfield) In this week's new movies, Sean William Scott gives an utterly anti-"American Pie" performance and the adaptation of Steve Harvey's bestseller turns out to be an intelligent rom-com. "Goon" (R) "Seann William Scott's character in "Goon," an infectiously appealing comedy about an ice hockey enforcer, is the anti-Steve Stifler, a sweetly puppylike opposite of the vulgar, sex-obsessed jock Scott made famous in the "American Pie" movies." - Michael O'Sullivan "Think Like a Man" (PG-13) "Forget hackneyed cliches about Players and Dreamers and the scheming women who seek to domesticate them. Focus on the pleasures of watching a group of gifted actors spar and seduce each other with genuine warmth, and "Think Like a Man" just might go straight to your head." - Ann Hornaday "The Lucky One" (PG-13) "Director Scott Hicks lavishes good taste and sunsets on a story that - devoid of genuine tension, conflict or combustible chemistry between its two stars - just prettily sits there." - Ann Hornaday "Marley" (PG-13) "It's exhaustive without being exhausting, an eye-opening and all-encompassing portrait that should go a long way to rescuing him from being a marijuana mascot. Don't let the tacky opening date fool you - this is a film to be taken seriously." - David Malitz "Chimpanzee" (G) "Be warned: Although rated G, "Chimpanzee features scenes of rival chimpanzee packs attacking each other and of chimpanzees hunting - and, it is suggested, eating - monkeys. Some sequences are, at times, intense and frightening, especially for younger viewers." - Michael O'Sullivan "The Island President" (PG) "Filmmaker Jon Shenk ("The Lost Boys of Sudan") expertly weaves [Mohamed] Nasheed's extraordinary personal story together with the Maldives' breathtaking natural beauty and a Capra-esque tale of dogged idealism and political courage to create wonderfully vivid cinematic portraiture." - Ann Hornaday "The Lady" (R) ""The Lady..." is a heavy-handed attempt to sanctify one of the most dignified and uncompromising politicians and human rights champions of recent times." - Adam Bernstein "Surviving Progress" (Unrated) "One percenters won't like what "Surviving Progress" has to say. The affluent oligarchy is a frequent target of blame in Mathieu Roy and Harold Crooks's powerful but pessimistic documentary look at the corner we humans seem to be painting ourselves into, economically, ecologically and otherwise." - Michael O'Sullivan "A Simple Life" (Unrated) "A tender tale of role reversal, "A Simple Life" is based on Hong Kong movie producer Roger Lee's final months with the woman who had been a family servant for 60 years. As co-scripted by Lee, the movie is often poignant but leavened with humor." - Mark Jenkins
