It's been a long week and you deserve a treat. Luckily, CP's here to help you decide where to take your cutie — in case you haven't picked up a paper copy, here's a quick roundup of who to see, what to do and where to go tonight.

MOVIES >> Another one bites the dust — Super was only around for a week before getting bumped for POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, Morgan Spurlock's new snarkumentary on product placement. To elicit warm and fuzzy feelings in your significant other, catch African Cats (about, er, African cats); if you're "stupid for historical costume dramas," there's The Princess of Montpensier. Also playing: Ceremony (D), Madea's Big Happy Family, Water for Elephants (C, thanks to Robert Pattinson's inability to do much else than look sexy) and White Irish Drinkers (C-).

MUSIC >> Bee Mask and Oneohtrix Point Never, two bands that make up for their regular-dudeliness with "hypnotically spacey drifts and drones," play the International House; for something smoother, Philly jazz dude Ari Hoenig's at Chris' Jazz Cafe tonight. For something a little more country, Birdie Busch headline's the Philly Opry at Johnny Brenda's.

CULTURE >> Hey, it's Earth Day! Go plant a tree with your sweetie. Afterward, visit the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center's "East of Eden" exhibit, see 1812 Productions' Laughter on the 23rd Floor or InterAct's Two Jews Walk Into a War (pictured), or let Karen Gross woo you with her Black Cat Cabaret.
