True, the wedding had been planned for this summer. But this week a London tabloid reported that actor/comedian/rabble-rouser Sacha Baron Cohen and “Wedding Crashers” actress Isla Fisher are postponing their nuptials until Fisher has had a chance to learn more about the Jewish faith: The source added: ‘Right now there’s no wedding date set because…

First and foremost, “Journey to the Center of the Earth” is *categorically* a movie for the kids. “Journey” has no interest in being taken seriously or leaving behind a single droplet of memorable dialogue.
