Release date: April 11
Starring: Dennis Quaid, Thomas Haden Church, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ellen Page

Why we're excited: First-time director Noam Murro assembled a cast of vets for this bookish comedy about a socially inept professor (Quaid) who breaks out of his shell with the help of his misfit adopted brother (Haden Church), quick-witted daughter (Page), and former student (Parker). The film debuted this year at Sundance and offers a dressed-down counterpoint to Parker's next big-screen outing, a little movie called Sex and the City. Next Item in this Gallery
