Wondering what to see this weekend?

In today's Weekend Ticket, I review movies opening this week. But if you're interested in other options, here are my recommendations for recently released films:

Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who!
2 1/2 stars
As the elephant Horton tries to keep the town of Who-ville, which sits on a tiny clover, out of harm's way, voice actor Jim Carrey (who also went Seussian in the live-action "How the Grinch Stole Christmas") lends him a think-globally, act-locally air of kindness and social responsibility.
Rated G

The Hammer
3 stars
Adam Carolla is a highly skilled rope-skipper and an even more impressive grunter, as he shows during a scene in which his character, a carpenter and boxer named Jerry, tries to show off for a pretty boxing student (Heather Juergensen). Because he's listening to his MP3 player while jumping rope, Jerry is unaware of the weird noises he's making.
Rated R

Under the Same Moon
3 stars
Kate del Castillo brings an undercurrent of sadness to Rosario, a housekeeper in Los Angeles who has not seen her son, Carlitos (Adrián Alonso), for a few years. Pleasant enough in her daily interactions, Rosario truly brightens only during her weekly telephone conversations with her son.
Rated PG-13
