FOX Announces Friday Movie Nights!

FOX has announced a lineup of hit comedy, action and suspense movies for Friday nights this spring and summer! Fridays are planned to be movie nights through August 1. There will also be a Sunday night movie (7-10pm) on July 6.

On FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 2008, from 8:00-10:00pm (ET/PT), FOX presents an encore of the comedy hit 13 GOING ON 30, starring JENNIFER GARNER (“Alias”, “Juno”), MARK RUFFALO (“Zodiac”, “All The King’s Men”) and JUDY GREER (“27 Dresses”)!

13 GOING ON 30 is a hilarious flash-forward romance about a pre-teen girl who goes from geek to glamorous. With the help of some magic wishing dust, 13 year-old Jenna Rink (GARNER) becomes 30 and gorgeous overnight, with everything she ever wanted, except for her best friend Matt (RUFFALO). Now, this grown woman must create some magic of her own to help the little girl inside find the true love she left behind.

On FRIDAY, MAY 2, 2008, from 8:00-10:00pm (ET/PT), FOX presents the WORLD BROADCAST PREMIERE of the comedy ARE WE THERE YET?, starring ICE CUBE (“First Sunday”, “Barbershop”), NIA LONG (“Big Shots”, “Big Momma’s House”) and JAY MOHR (“Ghost Whisperer”)!

When Nick (ICE CUBE) falls for single mother Suzanne (LONG), he initially doesn’t have to worry about what her kids think of him because she just wants to “be friends.” But when Suzanne finds herself in a jam and needs someone to escort her kids to meet her in Vancouver for New Year’s Eve, Nick gladly opens the door of opportunity. It could be the best way to win her heart...or the biggest mistake of his life. With more than one destination on his mind, Nick embarks on a road trip he’ll never forget – and neither will you!

On FRIDAY, MAY 9, 2008, from 8:00-10:00pm (ET/PT), FOX presents the WORLD BROADCAST PREMIERE of the comedy MAN OF THE HOUSE, starring TOMMY LEE JONES (“No Country For Old Men”, “Men In Black I & II”), CEDRIC THE ENTERTAINER (“Talk To Me”), PAULA GARCES (“CSI: MIAMI”, “HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE”) and KELLI GARNER (“LARS AND THE REAL GIRL”)!

When five perky cheerleaders witness the murder of a drug bust informant, they require round-the-clock surveillance to keep from being the next victims. Enter tough-as-nails Texas Ranger Lt. Roland Sharp (JONES), who masquerades as their assistant coach and camps out in their campus digs. But these feisty foxes just want to have fun, and the buttoned-down Sharp learns it’s no easy task to keep the uncontrollable coeds in line and out of harm’s way!

On FRIDAY, MAY 16, 2008, from 8:00-10:00pm (ET/PT), FOX presents an encore of the comedy hit DODGEBALL: A TRUE UNDERDOG STORY, starring VINCE VAUGHN (“Fred Claus”, “Into The Wild”), CHRISTINE TAYLOR (“License To Wed”), BEN STILLER (“The Heartbreak Kid”, “Night At The Museum”) and RIP TORN (“Bee Movie”)!

In a hilarious sendup of feel-good sports movies, BEN STILLER and VINCE VAUGHN star as arch-rival gym owners competing in a Las Vegas Dodgeball tournament. Peter La Fleur (VAUGHN) is the friendly owner of a small gym with a loyal, if oddball clientele. But he’s going to be taken over by the big, flashy Globo Gym, owned by fitness guru White Goodman (STILLER) if he can’t come up with $50,000 – coincidentally the amount of the prize in an upcoming Dodgeball tournament! He recruits legendary Dodgeball coach Patches O’Houlihan (RIP TORN), who comes out of retirement to see if he can turn a ragtag bunch of lovable losers into a champion Dodgeball team!

On FRIDAY, MAY23, 2008, from 8:00-10:00pm (ET/PT), FOX presents an encore of the comedy hit CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN, starring STEVE MARTIN (“The Pink Panther”, “Bringing Down The House”), BONNIE HUNT (“Cars”, “Life With Bonnie”), HILARY DUFF (“Lizzie McGuire”), ASHTON KUTCHER (“That ‘70s Show”) and TOM WELLING (“Smallville”)!

Tom and Kate Baker (MARTIN, HUNT) have adjusted pretty well to parenthood –having 12 children has given them a lot of practice juggling schedules and activities. But when Tom takes a job coaching football in a new town, and Kate must be away for a few week on a press tour for her new book, things start to come apart at the seams – but if nothing else, the Bakers always manage to keep their sense of humor! This is family comedy at its best.

On FRIDAY, MAY 30, 2008, from 8:00-10:00pm (ET/PT), FOX presents the WORLD BROADCAST PREMIERE of the comedy movie LITTLE BLACK BOOK, starring BRITTANY MURPHY (“King Of The Hill”, “Happy Feet”), HOLLY HUNTER (“Saving Grace”), KATHY BATES (“The Golden Compass”, “Fred Claus”), RON LIVINGSTON (“Standoff”) and RASHIDA JONES (“Unhitched”, “The Office”)!

Hired to work on a tabloid TV show, Stacy Holt’s life gets turned upside down when she is persuaded to explore one of the show’s themes, and snoops through her boyfriend’s Palm Pilot. But she’s forgetting one thing: in the world of daytime TV, there’s always a shocking surprise in store – and she’s about to get a big one!

FBI Agents Kevin and Marcus Copeland (SHAWN & MARLON WAYANS) are assigned to protect two socialite sisters from a kidnapping plot by escorting them to the Hamptons, but when the sisters refuse to leave their NY apartment, the brothers decide to go undercover – as the sisters themselves! Entering the world of wealthy white chick-hood takes them on a hilarious romp through social rivalries, slumber parties, wealthy suitors and mastering the requisite trendoid fashion and girl-talk!

From Producer John Carpenter comes the all-new retelling of his terror classic THE FOG. One hundred years ago, a ship carrying lepers was purposely lured onto the rocky coastline and sunk, drowning all aboard. Now they’re back, long-dead mariners who’ve waited a century for their revenge. Seeking out the descendents of those responsible for their deaths, they lurk enshrouded within a supernatural fog of terror. Beware, any who stand in their way.

In this sequel to BAD BOYS, WILL SMITH and MARTIN LAWRENCE team up once again as playboy Mike Lowry (SMITH) and family man Marcus Bennett (LAWRENCE), two Miami detectives who never play by the rules! This time they’re partners in an undercover drug investigation – and Marcus doesn’t know that Mike has been dating his sister (UNION) – or that she is also an undercover DEA agent working the same case!! Nonstop action and classic comedic chemistry make this a can’t-miss feature!

But suddenly, her husband (EDWARDS) swears they never had a child and her psychiatrist (SINISE) insists she’s delusional. But worst of all, there is absolutely no evidence to prove Sam ever existed.
