Portia (Fey) is an uptight admissions officer at Princeton, whose life is shaken up when she meets John (Rudd), a laid-back teacher at an alternative high school. Admission tries to combine life-crisis drama with rom-com, but the leads are uncharacteristically charmless and the clichéd script takes itself far too seriously.

From the director of Ice Age comes this story of a teenage girl who is sucked from the earthly realm into a fantastical woodland, where she finds the forces of good and evil at battle. Mary Katherine (voiced by Seyfried) joins the fray – on the side of good, one suspects – in order to help save this magical world – and ours.

• Written by: Marlon Wayans, Rick Alvarez
• Cast: Marlon Wayans, Marlene Forte, Essence Atkins

Scene-by-scene spoof of the Paranormal Activity movies, in which Malcolm (Wayans) invites his girlfriend Kisha (Atkins) to his home, only for their evening to be spoiled by predatory white neighbours, a gay psychic, a demon and the fact that Kisha sleeps in a hairnet. Derivative, mean-spirited, misogynistic and shambolic.

This charmless sequel to 2010's forgettable A Turtle's Tale would be better titled Sammy's Painfully Long Incarceration, as leatherback turtle Sammy and pal Ray are kidnapped by employees of a restaurant. A truly disturbing scene in which a lobster watches a pal being cut up and eaten makes this suitable only for the naughtiest children.

John Matthews (Johnson) is an honest trucking company manager who agrees to go undercover for the DEA after his son is set up by a drug-dealing friend. Waugh's gritty approach sees Johnson successfully moving away from the franchise blockbuster; it's a solid, character-based thriller with a realistic perspective on America's war on drugs.

1990: five teenagers are desperate to see the Stone Roses' gonna-be-legendary outdoor gig at Spike Island, but a lack of tickets is the least of their problems. Skilfully filmed but clumsily written, it lacks emotional punch and it's hard to see what either teenagers or nostalgic fortysomethings will see in it.

When ex-Starfleet commander John Harrison (Cumberbatch) attacks Earth, the Enterprise crew pursues him. It's more of the same: funny, dramatic and exciting, and if it's not as fresh as the 2009 film, Pine and Quinto's squabbling bromance gives it heart, Pegg and Urban are excellent and Cumberbatch is thrillingly cold.

Melancholic melodrama about the pre-WW I love triangle between artists Alfred Munnings (Cooper) and Florence Carter-Wood (Browning), and Gilbert Evans (Stevens). Aimed squarely at the Downton Abbey crowd, it's hardly unconventional but handsomely shot, with a rousing performance from Cooper and a heartfelt one from Browning.
