OPENING
OR RETURNING: Break-Up, The: Ah, celebrity couples working together. Last summer we had Brangelina in Mr. and Mrs. Smith; this year we get Jence Vincifer — oh, that just doesn't work.

Da Vinci Code, The: Dan Brown's gazillion-selling book about a centuries-old religious mystery arrives in cinematic form with a glowing pedigree. As if the book isn't popular enough, the adaptation is directed by Ron Howard and stars Tom Hanks. And you probably know this. You're actually on the way to the theater already, aren't you? PG-13.

RV: In Barry Sonnenfeld's latest film, Robin Williams tells his family they're going on vacation to Hawaii — but instead packs his wife and kids into an RV and heads to Colorado. Jeff Daniels heads up a wacky bunch of full-time campers. It's a sure bet there are hijinks involved. PG-13. Cinemark. See No Evil: As if having to do community service isn't bad enough! A group of petty criminals, sent to clean up a rundown hotel, get terrorized by its lone resident: WWE wrestler Kane, sporting a really nasty meathook and a creepy sneer. R. Cinemark.
