THE OTHER SON: (PG-13) Two sons are born nearly at the same time, in the same hospital, in rooms next to one another. Then when the hospital must be evacuated, the boys are accidentally switched and given to the wrong mothers. This would have been fine, but the hospital didn’t catch its error until the boys are nearly men. To top it off, while one son grows up in Israel, the other son is raised in Palestine; culturally they are worlds apart and their nation’s values almost never agree with one another. Faced with prejudice and looked at with new eyes, these boys must reevaluate exactly who they are. UA TARA, 2345 Cheshire Bridge Road’’
SMASHED: (R) Katie and Charlie like to party, a lot. Their marriage as drinking partners seems perfect, they party and get smashed together, a sort of drunken love. But the partying stops when Katie starts to realize she might have a serious problem. As she picks a path of sobriety, it becomes challenging not only for her, but also for Charlie to stay home from the party. This cute love story shows just how far some people will go for someone they care about. Plaza Theatre, 1045 Ponce De Leon. ‘’
THIS MUST BE THE PLACE: (R) Sean Penn plays Cheyenne, an aging goth-band star, who is lost in his older age, despite his fame and wealth. When he receives word his father is in his final days of life, Cheyenne rushes to his father’s side to be with him in his final hour. Realizing that he never really knew his father, Cheyenne attempts to figure out just who his father was. After learning his father spent nearly all of his time searching for the Nazi that tortured him in a concentration camp years before, Cheyenne sets out to find the Nazi and finish what his father started. Penn is brilliant as a distant, spacey Cheyenne (looking like the lead singer of The Cure) in this wacky indie film. Midtown Art Cinema, 931 Monroe Drive
