This weekend, director Ivan Reitman of such classic comedies as Stripes, Meatballs and Ghostbusters will release his newest film, No Strings Attached. In the film, Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher play two friends who decide to go for a friends-with-benefits situation. While it starts off as harmless fun, the duo soon realizes that there may not be such a thing as just harmless sex. While the idea of friends becoming something more may seem somewhat generic, the talented cast suggests something possibly different. So before you check out No Strings Attached this weekend, maybe give some of these under-ranked films from its stars a chance.

David Duchovny and Demi Moore, in a movie with a fantastic concept (they play the heads of a fake family put in an upscale neighborhood by advertisers to steathily market their goods) but the execution doesn’t seem to be there.

As you can probably tell by this movie leading the way, it’s a bit of a down week for new releases. There are a few solid classics and re-releases though.

Ben Stiller in a more “serious” role.
Caught in the Crossfire – (DVD and Blu-ray)
Chris Klein and his mega-acting and 50 Cent in the same DTV movie. I can see this being one of the most insanely watchable trainwrecks to come out in the last few months.
