THE PERFECT FAMILY<br />
CAN YOU EXORCISE YOUR KIDS?<br />
>> Kathleen Turner isn’t Mrs. Robinson anymore.<br />
Here she’s a faithful wife and mother so<br />
prominent in the community they nominate<br />
her for the Catholic Woman of the Year Award.<br />
And then her son is caught cheating on his wife<br />
and her daughter comes out as a lesbian—kids<br />
ruin everything. The cast in this is pretty hilarious,<br />
with famously gay Richard Chamberlain<br />
playing the priest presiding over the award and<br />
Sharon Lawrence (NYPD Blue) as the holierthan-thou<br />
competitor for the Catholic crown.<br />

THE SAMARITAN<br />
RISKY BUSINESS<br />
>> Samuel L. Jackson proves the only thing<br />
harder to escape than prison is the lifestyle<br />
that got you there. When he’s paroled and<br />
decides to go straight, his past associates finds<br />
ways to drag him back into the fold. When<br />
he meets Ruth Negga, a pretty girl with the<br />
potential to keep him out of trouble, his old<br />
colleagues come along with offers that will let<br />
him spoil her with luxury, even if it’s not on<br />
the up-and-up. A guy will try lots of things<br />
to keep a girl—and going legit isn’t always on<br />
the list.<br />
