Hello, folks! For this puzzle the answers are current movie titles. The "bait and switch" is that each of the original titles were anagrammed and then the words of the anagrammed title were replaced with synonyms. Can you retrace the path to the original movie title?

That Man Outsmart = He Outwit :anagram: Whiteout

1. Sweet Shop

2. Geeks Like Fiction

3. Most Skillful Destruction

4. A Psychic Oxter

5. Trendy Humor

6. KGB Agent Squid Quota

7. Dirty Idea Night

8. Wireless Pig

9. Fret Also Mister

10. Citified Bladder Experts

11. Spherical Chart

12. Baby Mama

Sweet Shop = Sugar Store = Surrogates?

A Clairvoyant Armpit -> Paranormal Activity

Though I admit I had to look up what the heck 'oxter' meant.

[tiger_lily111]

Worry Too Sir -> Sorority Row

[Guest]

Baby Mama = Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs?

[Wilson]

Baby Mama = Infant Mother = The Informant?

Sorry EDM, that is not it.

A Clairvoyant Armpit -> Paranormal Activity

Though I admit I had to look up what the heck 'oxter' meant.

Yes, that is right!

Worry Too Sir -> Sorority Row

And this one, too!

Baby Mama = Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs?

Sorry John, you may want to check the example.

Baby Mama = Infant Mother = The Informant?

That is the one!

Sorry EDM, that is not it.

Yes, that is right!

And this one, too!

Sorry John, you may want to check the example.

That is the one!

Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking. Not a riddle for me; I don't watch many movies.

[Wilson]

Spherical Chart = Round Map = Pandorum?

[hugemonkey]

3. Most Skillful Destruction

4. A Psychic Oxter -tiger_lily111

I love that movie, but that is not the answer.

3. Most Skillful Destruction

5. Trendy Humor -

6. KGB Agent Squid Quota

7. Dirty Idea Night

8. Wireless Pig

You do not need to have seen the movie, just know the title. These are movies that are currently playing in the US (or at least they were about two weeks ago).
