The Brothers Bloom

Cast: Adrien Brody, Mark Ruffalo and Rachel Weisz
Release date: In select theaters December 19
Why you should see it: Brody and Ruffalo are brothers and con men who try one more big score before they retire: They'll help a bored and wealthy socialite (Weisz) spend some of her money, via a scam that will send more than $1 million straight into their hands. Until, of course, one of them falls in love with her, pitting bro against bro.
Box office bottom line: Early buzz is that the movie has a clever script with more than one big twist, and with a cast like this, the comedy could be a nice diversion from all those serious flicks chasing award nominations.
