EVERY LITTLE STEP: A backstage documentary about the auditions for a recent Broadway revival of A Chorus Line. Beginning with a line reaching down the street at an open call, the film follows dancers through every step of an arduous and often heartbreaking ordeal. Ironically, that’s what the musical is about.

ORPHAN: After seeing Orphan, I now realize that the Omen was a model child. The Demon Seed was a bumper crop. Rosemary would have been happy to have this baby. Here is a shamelessly effective thriller based on the most diabolical of movie malefactors, a child. Vera Farmiga and Peter Sarsgaard star as the adoptive parents of a brilliant, artistic, polite prodigy named Esther (Isabelle Fuhrman), who has a funny way of being around when bad things happen. The climax rises to a pitch of horror. (R) Three and a half stars – RE

THE UGLY TRUTH: Katherine Heigl plays the producer of a failing early morning newscast, and Gerard Butler is the macho local cable star brought in to boost her ratings. He ends up coaching her in her efforts to win the heart of a handsome doctor, in a movie where the actors are likable but the comedy bogs down in relentless predictability and the puzzling overuse of naughty words.
