Jennifer Aniston
stars alongside Jason Bateman in the offbeat comedy 'The Switch.'

Kassie (played by Aniston) is a smart, fun-loving single woman who, despite the objections of her neurotic best friend Wally (played by Bateman), decides it's time to have a baby -- even if it means doing it by herself with a little help from a charming sperm donor (played by Patrick Wilson). But, unbeknown to her, Kassie's plans go awry because of a last-minute switch that isn't discovered until seven years later when Wally finally gets acquainted with Kassie's cute -- though slightly neurotic -- son.

Directed by Will Speck and Josh Gordon, the film also stars Jeff Goldblum, Juliette Lewis and Thomas Robinson.

If you weren't able to catch it on TV when it aired or record it to your DVR, 'Ugly Betty: The Complete Fourth and Final Season' is now out of DVD.

There are underdogs and then there is Betty Suarez, the ultimate "fish-out-of-water." Her efforts to fit in with her colleagues at a glossy magazine may bring unintentionally hysterical results, but they also have audiences rooting for their favorite fashionista. The collectible four-disc release allows viewers to complete their collection and relive every endearing moment of this heartwarming and irreverent comedy through all 20 final-season episodes, uninterrupted, with never-before-seen bonus features.

'Ugly Betty' stars America Ferrera as Betty, Eric Mabius as Daniel Meade, Tony Plana as Ignacio, Ana Ortiz as Hilda, Judith Light as Claire Meade, Becki Newton as Amanda, Michael Urie as Marc, Mark Indelicato as Justin, Daniel Eric Gold as Matt Hartley and Vanessa Williams as Wilhelmina Slater.

Also available is the hilarious first season of one of TV's funniest new series, ABC's laugh-out-loud comedy 'Cougar Town: The Complete First Season,' starring Golden Globe nominee Courteney Cox.

After spending the last 17 years as a wife and mother, recently divorced Jules (played by Cox) has reluctantly waded back into the dating pool and quickly finds herself in over her head. Now forty-something and single, Jules tackles real-life issues - dating, parenting and friendship. It doesn't help Jules that her two best friends can hardly stand each other, her ex-husband is hanging around more now than he did during their marriage...and there's that handsome divorced neighbor that she can't quite get out of her head.

The show also stars Christa Miller, Busy Philipps, Dan Byrd, Josh Hopkins, Ian Gomez and Brian Van Holt.

'The Cage' takes us into the lives of three people who call the tiny fenced-in court at West 4th Street in New York City home.

In 'The Cage,' you'll meet Soxs, the fiery, ambitious young ball player who is out there every day hoping to take home a championship title from the prestigious West 4th League, while balancing a wife and an 8-month-old baby.

There's Samantha, a struggling artist, who is one of the few girls that grinds out there with the men on a daily basis. And Sherman, the king of the concrete and chain-link jungle who's now in his 20th year presiding over the Cage and isn't ready to pass on the crown just yet! Welcome to 'The Cage,' where basketball isn't a livelihood, it's life.
