With "Avengers: Age of Ultron" still looming over the box-office, this week doesn't offer any spectacular releases, but does bring a few interesting minimalistic choices. The only wide release is the action comedy "Hot Pursuit" starring Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara. The film has been trashed by critics, but could stand a chance at a No.2 ranking at the box-office. "Maggie" is one of the week's limited releases that sparks the most interest mostly due to the fact that Arnold Schwarzenegger attempts some heavy drama in this unusually introspective zombie flick. Other noteworthy limited releases are the comedy "The D-Train" starring Jack Black and James Marsden and the trippy romantic comedy "Playing it Cool" starring Chris Evans and Michelle Monaghan. More about each movie after the jump.

Synopses, details, critical reception, trailers, clips and more after the jump.

Playing It Cool Movie Trailer, Poster, Images

The romantic comedy "Playing It Cool" gets a limited release in theaters today, so here are the official trailer, some images and a poster for the movie. Chris Evans ("Avengers: Age of Ultron") stars as ME, a screenwriter working on a script for a romantic movie who doesn't quite believe in love anymore. While pretending to be a philanthropist at a charity dinner, he falls in love with HER (Michelle Monaghan), a gorgeous woman who is, unfortunately, engaged. In order to continue seeing each other, the two embark on a platonic relationship while ME tries to win HER heart with the power of imagination.

The movie plays against the usual cliches and trappings of the rom-com genre and can be quite inventive, although the final result will probably divide viewers. The critical reception has been generally negative with reviews pointing out the fact that the movie spends too much time in the fantasy realm and ultimately becomes a parody rather than a sincerely subversive treatment of the genre.

Directed by Justin Reardon, the film also stars Aubrey Plaza, Anthony Mackie, Ioan Gruffudd, Topher Grace, Ashley Tisdale, Beverly D'Angelo and Luke Wilson.
