ONVIDEO'S WEEKLY GUIDE TO HOME VIDEO RELEASES
FOR TUESDAY, April 6 -- MONDAY, April 12

CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN
Loose remake of the 1950 Clifton Webb-Myrna Loy classic comedy.
In modern America, where the average family has 1.87 children,
Tom Baker (Steve Martin) and wife Kate (Bonnie Hunt) have decided
that life is better -- if not cheaper -- by the dozen. The Bakers
live in a small Illinois town where Tom coaches the local college
football team. The family's day-to-day life is marked by equal
parts love and chaos. When Tom is offered his dream job --
coaching a squad at a large university -- he and Kate uproot the
family, much to the displeasure of all 12 children. At the same
time, Kate learns that her memoirs are about to be published. Her
agent whisks her away to New York to promote the book, leaving
Tom home alone to handle the increasingly unhappy and hectic
household, as well as his demanding new job. With all hell
breaking loose at home, Kate on the road, and Tom's job on the
line, the Baker family ultimately chooses not to have it all, but
to love what they do have. Director: Shawn Levy. Stars: Steve
Martin, Bonnie Hunt, Tom Welling, Hilary Duff, Piper Perabo,
Ashton Kutcher, Wayne Knight, Shane and Brent Kinsman. 2003, CC,
MPAA rating: PG, 106 min., Comedy, Box office gross: $130.000
million, Fox, $22.98 VHS SRP. DVD: Day & Date.

HOPE SPRINGS
Romantic comedy about Colin Ware (Colin Firth), an artist who
seeks refuge in a Vermont hotel after his beautiful girlfriend
Vera (Minnie Driver) breaks off their engagement. When the
hotel's owner fixes Colin up with the stunning Mandy (Heather
Graham), sparks fly. Naturally, Vera comes back into the picture,
wanting to start over again, and Colin finds himself in a
romantic tangle. Director: Mark Herman. Stars: Colin Firth,
Minnie Driver, Mary Steenburgen, Heather Graham, Oliver Platt.
2003, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 92 min., Romantic comedy, Buena
Vista, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental. DVD: Day & Date.

KRISTIN LAVRANSDATTER
This epic love story set in 14th-century Norway is Liv Ullmann's
remarkable adaptation of Sigrid Undset's 1928 Nobel Prize-winning
novel. Kristin Lavransdatter follows one woman's decision to
break with tradition to marry the man she loves rather than the
man her father has chosen for her. Torn between her longing for
love and her sense of family loyalty, she ventures into a life
filled with passion and pain, joy and sorrow. The star of many
Ingmar Bergman films, director Ullmann collaborates here with
cinematographer Sven Nykvist to create a film as visually
entrancing as Bergman's finest. Her insightful exploration of
medieval society captures the essence of life throughout the
ages. Complete director's cut. In Norwegian with English
subtitles. Director: Liv Ullmann. Stars: Sverre Anker Ousdal,
Henny Moan, Rut Tellefsen, Erland Josephson. 1995, CC, MPAA
rating: NR, 180 min., Romantic drama, Home Vision Entertainment.
DVD: Only.

MATRIX REVOLUTIONS, THE
In the final chapter of the Matrix trilogy, Neo (Keanu Reeves)
takes another step forward in the quest for truth that began with
his journey into the real world at the outset of "The Matrix" --
but that transformation has left him drained of his power, adrift
in a no-man's land between the Matrix and the Machine World.
While Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) holds vigil over Neo's comatose
body, Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) grapples with the revelation
that the One in which he has invested a life's worth of faith is
merely another system of control invented by the architects of
the Matrix. During the stunning conclusion, the rebel's long
quest for freedom culminates in an explosive battle. As the
Machine Army wages devastation on Zion, its citizens mount an
aggressive defense -- hoping to stave off the relentless swarm of
Sentinels long enough for Neo to harness the full extent of his
powers and end the war. A weak ending for a series that began so
stupendously in "The Matrix" and wavered slightly in "The Matrix
Reloaded." The special effects that were so spectacular on the
first two outings are by now old hat and -- since the story line
is fairly weak -- can't carry the film. A disappointment.
Director: The Wachowski brothers. Stars: Keanu Reeves, Laurence
Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving, Jada Pinkett Smith.
2003, CC, MPAA rating: R, 129 min., Science Fiction, Box office
gross: $138.000 million, Warner, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.
DVD: Day & Date.

PASSIONADA
Worlds collide in the tender and light-hearted story of three
generations of Portuguese women finding love in the fishing
community of New Bedford, MA (the same town that inspired Herman
Melville to write "Moby Dick"). Young and beautiful Celia Amonte
(Sophia Milos), still mourning the loss of her deceased husband,
has resigned herself to working in the textile mill, caring for
her elderly mother, and worrying about her rebellious teenage
daughter, Vicky (Emmy Rossum). Along comes Charlie Beck (Jason
Isaacs), a handsome British charmer and professional gambler, who
arrives in town and is entranced by Celia when he hears her
singing traditional Portuguese folk songs at a local restaurant.
Vicky helps Charlie get a date with her romance-shy mother, but
only at a price -- Charlie has to tutor Vicky in the art of card
counting, since she hopes gambling will be her ticket out of this
provincial town. Since Celia would have nothing to do with this
aimless gambler, Charlie reinvents himself as a rich fishing
entrepreneur and sweeps her off her feet. As stronger romantic
feelings develop between the two, Charlie has himself tangled in
a web of lies so badly that he's not sure how much longer he can
keep up the charade. Director: Dan Ireland. Stars: Jason Isaacs,
Sophia Milos, Seymour Cassell, Theresa Russell, Emmy Rossum.
2003, CC, MPAA rating: PG-13, 108 min., Drama, Box office gross:
$0.536 million, Columbia TriStar, No VHS SRP, Priced for rental.
DVD: Day & Date.

SHERMAN'S MARCH
Award-winning documentary has director Ross McElwee hitting the
road when his girlfriend leaves him. His planned trip: follow the
original route taken by General William Sherman as he marched
through the South during the Civil War. But rather than cut a
swath of destruction designed to force the Confederate states
into submission, McElwee searches for love, camera in hand,
aiming it at every woman he sees. Director: Ross McElwee. 1986,
CC, MPAA rating: NR, 155 min., Documentary, First Run Features,
No VHS SRP, Priced for rental. DVD: Only.
