The following are capsule reviews of movies recently reviewed by the Office for Film & Broadcasting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Confessions of a Shopaholic (Touchstone/Bruckheimer)
Mostly silly romantic comedy set in New York about a ditsy compulsive shopper (Isla Fisher) who achieves improbable success writing an anonymous advice column for a financial magazine, despite being deeply in debt herself, and who falls for her good-looking boss (Hugh Dancy). Director P.J. Hogan's glossy adaptation of Sophie Kinsella's novel is lively and colorful, and the leads are not without charm, but the film is a paean to materialism even as it pretends to convey a contrary message, while an overabundance of slapstick greatly undermines the humor. A premarital relationship, a few crude words and expressions, mild innuendo, and an undue emphasis on materialism. (A-III, PG)

Fired Up! (Screen Gems)
Banal sex comedy in which two philandering high school football players attend a mostly female cheerleading camp, racking up conquests till one falls for the captain of his squad and the other for the wife of the head coach. Director Will Gluck's feature debut treats the pursuit of sexual gratification as just another sport, and most of the attempts at humor are tasteless as well as flat-footed. Nongraphic nonmarital and adulterous sexual activity, homosexual comic elements, brief rear nudity, much sexual humor, underage drinking, frequent crude and crass language, and a few uses of profanity. (O, PG-13)

Friday the 13th (New Line/Paramount)
Director Marcus Nispel's gruesome revival follows the franchise's usual crass recipe: a melange of sadistic murder, casual teen sexuality, gratuitous nudity and a dash of drug use. Frequent gory violence, torture, graphic nonmarital sexual activity, upper female and rear nudity, brief pornographic imagery, marijuana use, pervasive rough and crude language, half a dozen uses of profanity, and sexual humor and references. (O, R)

The International (Columbia/Relativity)
Intense thriller in which a dogged Interpol agent and a New York assistant district attorney investigate the elusive leaders of a global bank implicated in arms trading and murder. Director Tom Tykwer's sleek, skillfully crafted conspiracy yarn veers briefly into excessive violence, but focuses most of its attention on the frustrations of operating within the law and the perils of acting outside it. Considerable moderate action violence, brief but graphic gore, vigilantism, some rough and crude language, brief sexual humor, and a couple of uses of profanity. (A-III, R)

Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience (Disney)
Upbeat concert film capturing performances during the popular boy band's 2008 "Burnin' Up" tour, interspersed with some behind-the-scenes footage of real-life siblings Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas' life on the road and a lavish music video set in New York's Central Park. While the target audience of tween girls may be in danger of hyperventilating, accompanying adults will find director Bruce Hendricks' energetic bubblegum-rock documentary, like the group itself, reassuringly wholesome and family-friendly. (A-I, G)

Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail (Lionsgate)
Intermittently amusing sequel in which the outsized antics of the comically wayward titular matriarch (Perry) are interspersed through a sober drama about an Atlanta assistant district attorney's effort to reclaim a childhood friend who's become a drug-addicted prostitute, despite the objections of his pampered fiancee. Perry, who also wrote and directed, lacks a subtle touch and indulges in a few mild impieties, but he also pays tribute to the redeeming effects of faith and forgiveness, especially through the character of a dedicated minister (Viola Davis). Prostitution theme, off-screen rape, a scene of physical abuse, drug use, some sexual and slightly irreverent humor, a few crass words and at least one use of profanity. (A-III, PG-13)
