“Little Man”

The Wayans brothers apparently met a movie idea they didn’t like in “Little Man,” their cinematic tour-de-force follow up to “White Chicks.” Shawn Wayans plays a father and husband who adopts what he thinks is a toddler, but actually is actually dwarf-thief Marlon Wayans. Yes, you heard right. Wayans’ head was superimposed via CGI onto the body of someone much smaller. Let the hilarity ensue.

“You, Me and Dupree”

Owen Wilson returns once again to his lovable slacker roots in “You, Me and Dupree.” The comedy also stars Matt Dillon and Kate Hudson as a newly married couple that lets Dillon’s best friend live with them until he gets back on his feet. Of course, nothing is that easy in film, and Dupree wreaks havoc and humor in the lives of his gracious hosts.

“Lady in the Water”

Paul Giamatti plays an apartment superintendent who happens upon a sea nymph in the pool at the complex. The waterlogged maiden is played by up-and-comer Bryce Dallas Howard, last seen as the brightest spot in “The Village.” Is twist-master M. Night Shyamalan actually attempting a film without a big reveal at the end? As with his previous projects, the lid has been pretty tight on details, so we’ll only really know come opening night.

“Monster House”

This animated film by first-time director Gil Kenan has some serious producing credit behind it, namely Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis. If you’re skeptical about the notion of a man-eating house, just keep in mind the Steve Buscemi factor — the man can do no wrong.

“My Super Ex-Girlfriend”

If you thought your ex-girlfriend was bad, just look at what architect Matt Saunders (Luke Wilson) has to go through. Not long after breaking up with his girlfriend (Uma Thurman), she lets him realize that she actually has super powers as she tortures and terrifies him in this comedy from director Ivan Reitman (“Stripes,” “Ghostbusters”).

“Miami Vice”

No pastels, loafers or Phil Collins. How could “Miami Vice” stand up to the extremely popular TV series? Well, having Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx in your lead roles, along with original series creator Michael Mann — director of “Collateral” and “Heat” — are very good steps in the right direction. It appears to be “Miami Vice” in name only, as the take is a grittier version similar in style to Mann’s more recent work.

“Little Miss Sunshine”

This highly popular indie from Sundance — which sold for $10 million — could become the sleeper low-budget film of the summer. A little girl wants to participate in the statewide “Little Miss Sunshine” beauty competition, and so her entire family decides to go on a road trip to get there. She’s in good company, though, as she’s traveling with Greg Kinnear, Toni Collete, Alan Arkin and the “he’s so hot right now” Steve Carell as her gay uncle.

“Scoop”

Woody Allen’s follow up to “Match Point,” his highest praised film in years, stars his new cinematic muse, Scarlett Johansson, whom Allen recently called “sexually overwhelming.” Remember folks, Allen is about 100 by now, while Johansson is a ripe-old 21. Johansson plays Jade Spence, a journalist who falls for an aristocrat while working on a story. Allen continues his string of films away from New York, as “Scoop” takes place in England and also stars Hugh Jackman as the aristocrat.
