Comedy to look out for this Eid

Man of the Year

Starring: Robin Williams, Laura Linney, Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum

Acerbic performer Tom Dobbs has made his career out of skewering politicians and speaking the mind of the exasperated nation on his talk show. He cracked scathing jokes at a fractured system night after night--until he came up with a really funny idea: why not run for president himself? With time ticking on the inaugural clock, Dobbs has a big decision to make: should he go back behind the mike or stay in the Oval Office?

A Prairie Home

Starring: Lily Tomlin, Meryl Streep, Maya Rudolph, Lindsay Lohan, John C. Reilly

After 32 years, Garrison Keillor's radio variety show is coming to an end. Set on a rainy Saturday night in St. Paul, Minnesota, fans file into the Fitzgerald Theater to see "A Prairie Home Companion," a staple of radio station WLT, not knowing that WLT has been sold to a Texas conglomerate and that tonight's show will be the last. Backstage cast and crew assemble for one last hurrah.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend

Starring: Luke Wilson, Uma Thurman, Anna Faris, Eddie Izzard, Wanda Sykes

Everyone's had a painful parting of the ways with a romantic partner. We pick up the pieces and move on. But for one New York guy, it's not going to be so easy. When he breaks up with his girlfriend, he discovers his ex is actually the reluctant superhero, G-Girl. A scorned woman, she unleashes her super powers to humiliate and torment him.

Employee of the Month

Starring: Dane Cook, Jessica Simpson, Dax Shepard, Efren Ramirez, Harland Williams

For customers of Super Club, the largest high-volume, bulk-discount retailer in the country, membership has its privileges. For workers at the cavernous store, the most coveted honour is the "Employee of the Month" award, and having one's photo immortalised on the wall of fame in the staff lounge. Enter Zack Bradley and Vince Downey, two ultra competitive Super Club workers whose ten years of employment have resulted in drastically different career paths. The race is one.
