June
"Kung-Fu Panda"
Opens: June 6Rating: Not yet rated.
Why We Can't Wait: After all of May's action and adventure films, it'll be nice to kick off June with some laughs from the makers of "Shrek." As Po the Panda, the laziest animal in the Valley of Peace, Jack Black ("School of Rock") should be a treat, espeically alongside supporting cast members like Jackie Chan, Angelina Jolie, and Dustin Hoffman.

"Get Smart"
Opens: June 20Rating: PG-13
Why We Can't Wait: Bumbling, clutzy, comical: Steve Carrell's first foray into "action" couldn't be better than the part of Agent 86 Maxwell Smart. The Rock is his superstar cohort, Agent 23, and Anne Hathaway ("The Princess Diaries") steps into the pumps of Agent 99.
