>The Amati Girls Family drama about four adult siblings plays like a rejected episode of TV's Sisters. But Mercedes Ruehl is splendid. (PG)

Cast Away Whether pudgy or thin (and he's both here), Tom Hanks is in top form while stuck on an island. (PG-13)

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Pure magic, even if it's in Mandarin with subtitles. Trust us and go. (PG-13)

Double Take It's the audience that's taken. Slapdash buddy comedy follows a con man (Eddie Griffin) and a banker (Orlando Jones) on the run together in Mexico. Strictly a rental. (PG-13)

Finding Forrester Sean Connery has a swell time playing a reclusive novelist who befriends a smart high school student (Rob Brown) in The Bronx. (PG-13)

Miss Congeniality A guilty pleasure. Sandra Bullock scores laughs as an FBI agent who goes undercover at a beauty pageant. (PG-13)

Save the Last Dance Sit this one out. Interracial romance between high schoolers Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas is for teens only. (PG-13)

What Women Want Romantic comedy with Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt is never as funny as it tries to be. (PG-13)
