BOTTLE SHOCK
Bill Pullman and Alan Rickman headline this fact-based Sundance hit about the 1976 taste test in which humble California wines bested their pedigreed French counterparts. At multiple locations. (110 minutes.) PG-13; brief profanity, sexual content, drug use.

THE HOUSE BUNNY
A Playboy Bunny (Anna Faris) gets booted from the mansion -- and finds refuge with clueless sorority sisters who are about to lose their house -- in a campus comedy featuring Colin Hanks (yes, his dad's named Tom), Rumer Willis (her dad's named Bruce), "American Idol's" Katharine McPhee -- and, inevitably, Mr. Playboy himself, Hugh Hefner.
