How do you know that your boss is trying to steal your wife away from you? Sometimes it is in the subtle events you notice. Sometimes it isn’t so subtle. While wheelchair-bound Chip Saunders (Jason Bateman) is admiring a picture of Sofia Kowalski (Amanda Peet) and Tom Reilly (Zach Braff) on Tom’s desk, he licks his thumb and runs it over her face. Tom knows he’s in trouble and it going to take some clandestine moves to show her and her family what Chip is up to. Sadly, Tom is having some difficulty understanding the concept of clandestine.

During my forays into warehouse stores, I’ve always wondered how quickly they go through those goods stacked on racks above my head. Well, now I know thanks to Zack Bradley (Dane Cook) and his buddies Lon (Andy Dick) and Russell (Harland Williams). The store’s recalcitrant employees have built play fort hidey holes which allow them to slack off and ignore customers like me who are looking for where they have now moved those packages holding 99 batteries.

Sometimes a choice will turn your life on its head. We may have a brief moment to decide whether to it is worth going in that direction but, more often than not, we have little idea of its consequence. Such is the decision facing Josh Pollack (Justin Timberlake), a vague newsman who wants to report on more than just the highlights of the city’s events, when he finds evidence of police corruption. He has to choose whether it is something he wants to pursue but it isn’t obvious what it will mean for him and those around him. An almost lethal beating of his girlfriend Willow Summerfield (Piper Perabo) and him by what he soon realizes are some of the corrupt cops gives him pause. Had the attack not happened, he likely would have let the story go but now he’s leaning towards investigating further regardless of the effect it’ll have.

Buddy (Will Ferrell) has the right attitude towards Christmas. He feels that the best way to spread Christmas cheer is to sing carols aloud for all to hear. I’d have to agree. Most times when I break into a carol, those around look at me with wide eyes of joy and hold their hands in front of their mouths to test whether they know the words. Few join in because it seems to me that they don’t want to interrupt the sheer joy my vocals bring to those within earshot. But they do stand around and marvel at my willingness to share the joy of serenading others. Jovie (Zooey Deschanel) is skeptical about Buddy’s enthusiasm. If she heard me singing, she’d know.

How do you convince someone that a conspiracy exists with no tangible proof, only a lot of conjecture applied to a batch of unrelated circumstances? Well, this is the stuff of movies and random web sites. You know that, after making discrete inquiries and gathering extenuating details, you may be on to something when the strangers come after you. Alex Thomas (Cuba Gooding Jr.), a Secret Service agent, and Kate Crawford (Angie Harmon), a reporter, find themselves in the cross-hairs after delving where some think they shouldn’t. At one point, Alex is being chased across his property. When two baddies searches for him, he pops up from beneath the water of the lake in front of his house and blasts them into next week before they get him.

How much of yourself are you willing to sacrifice to protect those you love and yourself? To the public, Slim Hiller (Jennifer Lopez) had a perfect life but privately she was at the behest of her domineering husband Mitch (Billy Campbell) who kept her terrified by threats and swats. After fleeing their house with her daughter and moving from place to place, she decides to make a stand. Little does her pompous husband know how much her hate can evolve into defending herself and daughter. His arrogance is in for the kicking of its petty little life.

I’ve never been to war. I don’t respond well to authority. I don’t play well with others. But I recognize and understand the need for unity, discipline and respect for a command structure for a group to meet their goals. But it is hard to understand the need to sacrifice others for what is perceived as the greater good. Tom Jericho (Dougray Scott ) lays out the possibility of cracking new Nazi signal codes but the expense is the destruction of a convoy of some 140 merchant vessels and their crews. How big a human sacrifice is acceptable? Apparently it is hundreds if not thousands, if you don’t know their names or their families.
