“Battleship”, “The Dictator”, and a Manscaping Documentary Equal a Tough Decision This Weekend [VIDEO]

This maybe the biggest weekend for movie openings of the summer. Not just one or two good films are opening but four really good openings are all going down this weekend. Tough decisions will be made at the box office this weekend.

"The Dictator" (R) (Opened Wednesday)
Sacha Baron Cohen plays brutal North African dictator 'Admiral General Aladeen', who comes to America. But it's not a mockumentary like "Borat" or "Bruno", it's totally scripted. Aladeen goes to New York to address the United Nations, but is forced to live as a commoner after John C. Reilly cuts off his gloriously thick beard . . . and no one recognizes him without it. Anna Faris plays an activist who takes Aladeen in, and Oscar-winner Ben Kingsley plays Aladeen's treacherous uncle.

"What to Expect When You're Expecting" (PG-13)
This one has a pretty big cast. It's about five couples going through the experience of having a baby. The pregnant ladies are Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Brooklyn Decker, Elizabeth Banks, and Anna Kendrick. Chris Rock is in it as one of the experienced fathers in a "dudes group" that meets at the park and takes clueless new dads under their collective wing. The rest of the men include Dennis Quaid and "Glee's" Matthew Morrison.

"Battleship" (PG-13)
"Friday Night Lights" stud Taylor Kitsch and "True Blood's" Alexander Skarsgard play brothers defending against an alien invasion. Liam Neeson is the commander of their fleet. It also stars Brooklyn Decker and Rihanna in her acting debut. She says, quote, "I didn't know if I would like it or be good at it. I really enjoyed the experience and I want to do more, try different types of roles so that I can see what I excel in most or like best." (--Rihanna talks about her acting inspiration here.)
"Battleship" has already made over $215 million. It opened in foreign countries on Sunday, and in some places as early as May 6th.

"Mansome" (PG-13) (Limited)
A manscaping documentary from Morgan Spurlock, the guy who did "Super Size Me". He talks to random hair and grooming experts, and also gets commentary from Jason Bateman, Zach Galifianakis, Adam Carolla, the Old Spice Guy Isaiah Mustafa, Scott Ian from Anthrax, and ZZ Top's Dusty Hill and Billy Gibbons.
