Wow. In my poll last Friday [0] I wondered if the No. 1 movie at the box office this weekend would be Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix [0] or Hairspray [0], and here we are on Monday with I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry [0] smiling at us from the top of the list [1]. The movie was critically panned [2] (and even annoyed Molly [2]), but apparently Adam Sandler has enough fans to float a pretty mediocre-sounding movie. Or maybe all the Harry Potter fans were just home reading the newest book [2]!

The top three movies were close in sales, however, with Chuck and Larry and Harry Potter only about $2 million apart. In third place was Hairspray with $27.8 million, the most any musical movie [3] has ever grossed in its opening weekend. At No. 4 was Transformers [3], staying strong with a cool $20 million, followed by Ratatouille [3] at No. 5, raking in $11 million in its third weekend.

As for this weekend, I'm extremely excited to see The Simpsons Movie [3], so check out my review this Friday. For now, watch the trailer [3] again and then see if you can get "Spider-Pig" out of your head.
