The weekend begins a day early at the Cineplex, with four new flicks offering something for everybody: There's Jumper for the fanboys, The Spiderwick Chronicles for the tweens, Step Up 2 the Streets for the "urban" aficionados and the rom-com Definitely, Maybe for the ladies.
A rundown of our reviews of this weekend's new releases:
The Spiderwick Chronicles 
"Covers all its narrative bases and packs enough thrills into its 97 minutes to qualify as decent family entertainment." [Full The Spiderwick Chronicles Review]
Jumper 
"Star Hayden Christensen is unable to lend any real depth to his stubbornly bland -- and bewilderingly selfish -- character." [Full Jumper Review]
Step Up 2 the Streets 
"What it lacks in polish (on-the-nose dialogue, choppy pacing, vague character motivations) it more than makes up for in energy and spirit." [Full Step Up 2 the Streets Review]
Definitely, Maybe
"Though this is a mainstream romantic comedy, the writing isn’t completely dumbed down—a refreshing change from the norm." [Full Definitely, Maybe Review]
