(William H. Macy in Edmond)

We’re becoming convinced that the Wayans brothers have invented some contraption that connects their toilet directly to projectors all over the world. How else do you explain crap like Little Man showing up on screens everywhere this week?

Unfortunately, though, there’s not a whole lot else to look forward to. Of course, nothing else will likely be as offensively bad and lame-brained as Little Man, but there’s a lot of questionable fare nonetheless.

There’s the sex farce of Mini’s First Time, about a girl who becomes a prostitute, taking her stepfather as a client.

There’s the additional sex farce of The OH In Ohio, which at least has an interesting cast, headed up by Parker Posey and Paul Rudd.

There’s the Owen Wilson summer comedy of You, Me And Dupree, that looks a bit too formulaic to offer more than fleeting entertainment.

There’s The Groomsmen, an Edward Burns retread of a previous Edward Burns retread of a previous Edward Burns film which was probably a retread of a Woody Allen film.

If you’re looking for better odds of satisfaction this week, however, there are a couple of films that warrant interest…

It’s usually a safe bet that François Ozon will deliver, so Time To Leave — the story of a photographer suffering from terminal cancer who is having trouble dealing with his loved ones — is of particular interest.

And we’re always a sucker for anything written by David Mamet. Add in William H. Macy and Edmond looks quite promising.
