BRICK LANE

A Bangladeshi transplant to East London (Tannishtha Chatterjee), forced into an arranged marriage at 17, yearns for her rural village, the sister she left back home -- and a young Muslim garment worker (Christopher Simpson) -- to rescue her from her passionless life in this adaptation of Monica Ali's 2003 novel. At Village Square. (101 minutes.) PG-13; sexual situations, profanity.

MAMMA MIA!

Meryl Streep turns singing-and-dancing queen in this adaptation of the hit ABBA musical about a former rock singer, now running an inn on a remote Greek island, whose three ex-flames (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard) show up at her daughter's wedding -- each thinking he's the bride's father. Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Amanda Seyfried ("Big Love," "Mean Girls") and Dominic Cooper ("History Boys") round out the starring cast for director Phyllida Lloyd, who also helmed the stage original. (108 minutes.) At multiple locations. PG-13; sexual references.

THE SINGING REVOLUTION

The power of song comes alive in this acclaimed documentary, which focuses on how Estonians expressed their resistance to Soviet rule after World War II through music -- including a fateful 1969 festival where thousands of Estonians repeatedly sang a patriotic song banned by the Soviets, fueling a nonviolent rebellion that ultimately led to Estonian independence. In English and Estonian with English subtitles. At Village Square. (94 minutes.) NR; contains footage of wartime atrocities; not recommended for children under 10.

SPACE CHIMPS

In this computer-animated odyssey, the slacker grandson of the first chimp in space (voiced by "Saturday Night Live's" Andy Samberg) goes ape with two other chimp astronauts during a mission to an inhabited planet, where they help the residents battle a tyrannical leader -- and try to return home to Earth. Cheryl Hines, Patrick Warburton, Kristin Chenoweth and Jeff Daniels round out the vocal cast. At multiple locations. (81 minutes.) G; all ages.
