BIG SCREEN
Baby Mama (PG-13) -- Saturday Night Live'sTina Fey and Amy Poehler star as a successful businesswoman (Fey) pining to become a mother and the South Philly working girl (Poehler) she hires to be her surrogate.
Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (R) -- Having successfully satisfied a case of uncontrollable munchies in Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle, the stoner duo (John Cho and Kal Penn) gets into trouble after trying to sneak a bong onto a plane and being mistaken as bomb-wielding terrorists.
Deception (R) -- Ewan McGregor stars as a man introduced to a mysterious sex club by his buddy (Hugh Jackman). Then, before he knows it, he becomes a suspect in a murder. Even worse, the studio decides not to screen his film for critics. The horror!

SMALL SCREENSweet Nothing in My Ear (9 p.m. Sunday, CBS) -- Marlee Matlin and Jeff Daniels play a married couple who split up in violent disagreement over whether their deaf son should have his hearing restored via cochlear-implant therapy. It's a searching examination of where America's identity politics have taken us: that what was once universally regarded as a handicap is now, for some, a cultural marker whose removal is something akin to genocide.
Escape to Dreamland (9 p.m. Sunday, WLRN-PBS 17) -- A loving but distinctly unworshipful documentary on the history of the Tamiami Trail. For a full review, see Page 1M.
