Summer Movies

Comedy

No summer is complete without comedies. Laugh at Marmaduke. He's a lovable great dane who tries to cope with his family's move to California. This live-action comedy finds Marmaduke in many crazy situations including a surfing competition. Ramona and Beezus, starring Selma Gomez, is based on a set of best-selling books. Ramona Quimby's active imagination and unlimited energy get her into lots of trouble. In the action-comedy Knight and Day, a small-town woman-Cameron Diaz - goes on a bline date. Her life is turned upside down when her date - Tom Cruise - turns out to be a super spy.

Drama
The romantic drama Letters to Juliet follows Sophia, a young American woman, as she travels to Verona, Italy. The city is famous for Shakespeare's lovers Romeo and Juliet.
