SOMETIME...
Strangers with Candy
The Deal: Big-screen prequel to Amy Sedaris' cult sitcom about a fortysomething ex-hooker/boozer/addict bumbling her way through high school.
The Upside: The show's surreal, uncomfortable humor and regular players return, with Sedaris and Stephen Colbert up front. Plus, Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker on screen together — at last!
The Downside: Cult show could simply become a cult movie. Plus, the least hot cast of any movie ever set in a high school.
The Verdict: Yay, candy!

The feature also mentioned the Bewitched movie:

SUMMER
Bewitched
The Deal: Holy meta-concept: This is a film about a witch who gets cast to play the lead in a movie based on a TV show about a witch. Uh, what now?
The Upside: Nora Ephron directs, Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell star, Amy Sedaris plays annoying Mrs. Kravitz — and Stephen Colbert is in it, too!
The Downside: We still don't get what it's about.
The Verdict: Spellbinding?
