PG-13some sexual humor and language

When upscale, happily unmarried San Francisco couple Kate and Brad find themselves socked in by fog on Christmas morning, their exotic vacation plans morph into the family-centric holiday they had, until now, gleefully avoided. Out of obligation—and unable to escape—they trudge to not one, not two, but four relative-choked festivities, increasingly mortified to find childhood fears raised, adolescent wounds reopened…and their very future together uncertain. As Brad counts the hours to when he can get away from their parents, step-parents, siblings and an assortment of nieces and nephews, Kate is starting to hear the ticking of a different kind of clock. And by the end of the day, she is beginning to wonder if their crazy families’ choices are not so crazy after all.

Two days before Christmas in rural upstate New York, Ray Eddy’s husband has left her in an impossible situation—not only is he gone, but he has gambled away all of the family’s meager savings. Ray’s single wage at the Yankee One Dollar Store can’t make the house payment, and the situation forces Ray to feed her two sons popcorn and Tang every day. When Ray strikes out to search for her husband, she encounters Lila Littlewolf, a tough, street-smart Mohawk woman who is dealing with her own struggle to make ends meet. But Lila has found a way to do it—smuggling illegal immigrants into the States. The tribal elders disapprove and attempt to stop Lila by forbidding anyone to sell her a car. Ray has a car, and although the two women don’t trust each other, they team up and share Ray’s Dodge Spirit to make a run across the frozen St. Lawrence River.

The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience, from Warner Bros. Pictures/Legendary Pictures, marks the first time ever that a major feature film has been partially shot using IMAX cameras, creating a revolutionary integration of the two film formats.

The follow-up to the action hit Batman Begins; The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience reunites director Christopher Nolan and star Christian Bale, who reprises the role of Batman/Bruce Wayne.

In the new film, Batman raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organizations that plague the city streets.

The first of the four scenes shot in IMAX, a prologue that introduces Batman's arch-nemesis The Joker, was shot in April, several weeks in advance of the actual start of principal photography. Additional selected scenes were filmed with IMAX cameras during the course of production on The Dark Knight.

Sunny skies, clear blue waters, sandy beaches, lush forests and Greek towns set the scene for this ABBA-themed musical.

Click through to see the secluded coves and stunning views that served as backdrops for its grand-scale song-and-dance numbers. How can you resist that?
