To save his planet of men, an alien (Garry Shandling) is sent to earth to procreate with a woman. But he's worlds away from understanding the opposite sex. Once on earth, he assumes his human identity as Harold, armed with dating lessons from his home planet, but the only thing he's courting is disaster. As he hits on every female in sight, he runs into one technical difficulty...his 'member' buzzes when he's aroused. On top of that, his pick-up lines are bad, his social skills are worse and his mating chances are slim to none. Mix in a suspicious FAA official (John Goodman) who's on his heels, and an underhanded co-worker (Greg Kinnear) who's on his back, Harold's mission seems next to impossible. Until he meets Ms. Right (Annette Bening). Now, an extraterrestrial and a human tie the knot, and unravel the universe. Through it all, Harold's dating game adventures are geared toward one intergalactic goal: scoring.

Hurtling down the track, careening around, over and through the competition, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is a natural behind the wheel. Born to race cars, Speed is aggressive, instinctive and, most of all, fearless. His only real competition is the memory of the brother he idolized the legendary Rex Racer whose death in a race has left behind a legacy that Speed is driven to fulfill. Speed is loyal to the family racing business, led by his father, Pops Racer (John Goodman), the designer of Speed's thundering Mach 5. When Speed turns down a lucrative and tempting offer from Royalton Industries, he not only infuriates the company's maniacal owner (Roger Allam) but uncovers a terrible secret some of the biggest races are being fixed by a handful of ruthless moguls who manipulate the top drivers to boost profits. If Speed won't drive for Royalton, Royalton will see to it that the Mach 5 never crosses another finish line. The only way for Speed to save his family's business and the sport he loves is to beat Royalton at his own game. With the support of his family and his loyal girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), Speed teams with his one-time rival the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox) to win the race that had taken his brother's life: the death-defying, cross-country rally known as The Crucible.

Step back into a time of outrageous movie-theater gimmicks and larger-than-life B-screen stars in this charming homage to the great sci-fi and horror flicks of the 1950s and 1960s. John Goodman is at his uproarious best as the William Castle-inspired movie promoter Lawrence Woolsey, who brings his unique brand of flashy showmanship to the unsuspecting residents of Key West, Florida. It's 1962, and fifteen-year-old fan Gene Loomis (Simon Fenton), can't wait for the arrival of Woolsey, who is in town to promote his latest offering of atomic power gone berserk, MANT!. But the absurd vision of Woolsey's tale takes on a sudden urgency as the Cuban Missile Crisis places the real threat of atomic horror just 90 miles off the coast. With the help of Gene and Woolsey's leading lady, Ruth (Cathy Moriarty), the master showman gives Key West a premiere they'll never forget. Anything can happen in the movies, and everything does in this hilarious tribute to a more innocent (and outrageous) time in American cinema.
