Vince (Dax Shepard) and Zack (Dane Cook) vie for gorgeous Amy (Jessica Simpson). In a perfect world, this idiotic movie would put an end to Simpson's alleged acting career. (David Germain, Associated Press.
) Lionsgate, 1 hour and 43 minutes, rated PG-13 (crude and sexual humor, and language).
The latest installment in the ``Chainsaw'' series is as remorseless and disheartening as any of the others, more gory and less scary, despite efforts to inject ``plot'' and motivation into the back stories of the flesh-eaters and ``Tommy,'' the monster they took in as an infant and raised to torture and kill. (Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel.
) New Line Cinema, 1 hour and 30 minutes, rated R (strong horror violence and gore, profanity, some sexual content).
Dwayne ``the Rock'' Johnson plays a football coach whipping ragtag misfits into a proud, disciplined unit and makes it seem fresh and true. As an L.

(Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune.) Sony Pictures, 2 hours, rated PG-13 (startling scenes of violence, mature themes, profanity).
