Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
We saw this a week ago (Sunday June 13) and it was quite fun. The critical consensus seems right on; this is the best of the Harry Potter films as a film; sure, it's least true to the novel (for instance, none of the characters wear school uniforms any more), but only nitpickers would complain. On the plus side, director Alfonso Cuarón does a terrific job of keeping the movie (and the camera) moving dynamically.
Some good online reviews: James Berardinelli's, MovieMom's, and Roger Ebert's
