Disney and Pixar released their highly anticipated animated sequel "Incredibles 2" today, and according to critics and moviegoers alike, it's ... incredible ! Grown ups, however, might be more interested in the R-rated comedy "Tag" starring Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, Jon Hamm and Jake Johnson, or the crime drama "Superfly", a remake of the 1972 blaxploitation film of the same name. In limited release, it might be worth checking out the biopic "Gotti" starring John Travolta.

It's a tough transistion for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack's emerging superpowers.
