‘Bad Teacher’ (June 24)
Written by: Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg
Starring: Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Lucy Punch, John Michael Higgins and Jason Segel
Diaz stars in this irreverent comedy from director Kasdan (“Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story”) as a junior-high teacher who doesn’t give an F. Foul-mouthed and hungover, she can’t wait to marry her sugar daddy and quit her day job once and for all. But when she gets dumped by her fiancé, she sets her sights on a handsome — and rich — substitute teacher (Timberlake) while fending off the advances of the gym teacher (Segel). Punch co-stars as a rival colleague. (Sony Pictures)
‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ (July 1)
Directed by: Michael Bay
Written by: Ehren Kruger
Starring: Shia LaBeouf, Josh Duhamel, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, John Malkovich, Patrick Dempsey, Alan Tudyk, John Turturro, Ken Jeong, Frances McDormand and Tyrese Gibson
The third installment in Bay’s big-screen treatment of the 1980s Hasbro toy line will come at you in 3-D as the Autobots learn of a Cybertronian spacecraft hidden on — you guessed it — the dark side of the moon, and race against the Decepticons to reach it. LaBeouf returns as Sam Witwicky and is joined by Victoria’s Secret model Huntington-Whiteley, replacing Megan Fox as his love interest. (Paramount Pictures)
‘Larry Crowne’ (July 1)
Written by: Tom Hanks and Nia Vardalos
Starring: Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Bryan Cranston, Cedric the Entertainer, Taraji P. Henson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wilmer Valderrama, Pam Grier, Rami Malek, George Takei, Grace Gummer and Jon Seda
Hanks writes, directs and stars in only his second feature as a helmer, a topical dramatic comedy set during the modern-day recession. Likable, affable Larry Crowne (Hanks) was a superstar team leader at the big-box company where he’s worked since serving in the Navy — until he got downsized. With nothing to do — and a mortgage to pay — he enrolls in college to start over. There, he befriends a colorful community of outcasts also looking for a second chance and develops a crush on one of his teachers (Roberts), who’s lost her passion for teaching — and her husband. (Universal)
