Ludacris on 'Fred Claus'new
Ludacris, aks Chris Bridges, says that his previous movie roles had led producers to assume that was all he could do. "When you do a role like the guy in Hustle & Flow where you play an asshole, people will send you scripts and say, 'We want you to play this other asshole.'"

Forget Your R.S.V.P.new
The film’s sour tone, unremarkable direction, and bewildering characterizations of sexuality and race will probably not hurt the comedy's charm at the box office.
