Cast: Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer, Steve Coogan, Rashida Jones

The story: After he’s released from jail, a genial stoner creates chaos in the lives of his three very different, but equally exasperated, sisters.

The buzz: This comedy, which debuted at the Sundance film festival, features a script director Peretz wrote with his sister Evgenia — especially for Rudd.
