Toothy, toothsome Julia Roberts keeps wowing 'em at the video store. In each of the past three weeks her matrimonial comedy My Best Friend's Wedding has topped the rental chart, moving no fewer than 63 copies per store. That's been enough to outrank the high-flying histrionics of Con Air and, now, both the caped capers of Spawn and the stupid pet tricks of Air Bud, the canine hoopster.
