NEW MOVIES TO STREAM

91Ƶ The Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell romantic comedy is finally on Netflix starting Tuesday. The movie is about two young singles whose magical one-night stand ends in miscommunication and hurt feelings, and then find themselves both in a small family wedding party and staying in the same house. It91Ƶs loosely based on Shakespeare91Ƶs 91ƵMuch Ado About Nothing.91Ƶ Reviews were mixed and the box office started out tame, but it became a slow burn sleeper hit in theaters, earning more than $218 million worldwide. If you91Ƶve been holding out to see what the fuss was about, now is your low stakes chance (it91Ƶs also not a bad plane option, which is where this film critic finally watched it). And afterwards, if you need a rom-com palate cleanser, 91ƵYou91Ƶve Got Mail91Ƶ is also currently on Netflix.

91Ƶ Another stealth box office hit, everyone91Ƶs favorite dancing demon doll is coming back to Peacock starting Wednesday. Is it great cinema? Probably not, but everyone who watches it seems to have a fun time (in spite of themselves). Entertainment Weekly91Ƶs Leah Greenblatt wrote in her review that, 91ƵThis is not the morose, carnage-soaked horror of dank basements and clammy night terrors; most of the movie happens in bright daylight, every maniacal head tilt, ungodly hip swivel, and murder-by-gardening-tool calibrated for screams that end not with a gasp but a giggle. M3GAN came to play, and possibly reboot her motherboard for a sequel. Are you not entertained?91Ƶ

91Ƶ Finally, if you91Ƶve exhausted all your you can pivot to watching a Joe Alwyn movie instead. He stars in Claire Denis91Ƶ 2022 romantic thriller which comes to Hulu on Sunday. Based on the 1986 Denis Johnson novel, Margaret Qualley plans an American journalist in Nicaragua during COVID-19 who starts an affair with a mysterious British guy, played by Alwyn.
