"Nothing Like the Holidays" (PG-13): Alfredo De Villa's holiday movie features a family (Alfred Molina, Elizabeth Peña, John Leguizamo, Debra Messing) with a lot of baggage.

"Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" (PG): The animated series' third entry — about prehistoric pals who discover a lost world — adds Simon Pegg as a deranged weasel to the comic mix.

"Orphan" (R, 123 minutes): Peter Sarsgaard and Vera Farmiga play the adoptive parents of a seemingly innocent 9-year-old (Isabelle Fuhrman) in Jaume Collet-Serra's horror flick.
