Claire Scanlon directed The People We Hate at the Wedding based on the book of the same name by Grant Ginder. With a very talented cast, the movie follows a family during the week leading up to their half-sister’s wedding in England.
Ben Platt, Allison Janney and Kristen Bell
Tensions rise among the siblings, and it’s full of laughs and silliness with, hopefully, a lesson to learn about accepting your family.
Scanlon is also an editor who won an Emmy for editing Single-Camera Comedy Series for The Office episode: Finale. Her other movies include Set It Up and Unbreakable Kimmy.
After her husband goes missing, Sue Buttons, played by Allison Janney, an under-appreciated suburban wife, gets a taste of being a local celebrity as she embarks on a city-wide search in Yuba County to find him.
To prolong her newfound fame, she stumbles into hilarious hijinks as her world turns upside down, dodging a wanna-be mobster, played by Awkwafina, a relentless local policewoman, played by Regina Hall, her half-sister, played by Mila Kunis, a local news reporter desperate for a story, and her husband’s dead-beat brother, played by Jimmi Simpson, who all set out to uncover the truth behind the disappearance.
Directed by Tate Taylor, who brought us The Help, and the talented cast, including Juliette Lewis, should make Breaking News in Yuba County worth seeing.
Directed by Bert & Bertie, Troop Zero takes place in a tiny Georgia town in 1977. A motherless girl dreams of a life beyond the confines of her trailer-park home. When her quest for connection leads her to reach for the stars in a competition that lands on NASA’s landmark Golden Record, it becomes clear she will have to depend on some new friends to take her the last mile.
Every night, Christmas Flint, played by Mckenna Grace, sits under a starry sky with a flashlight, signaling to extraterrestrial visitors that never arrive. Sensitive, imaginative, and deeply lonely, Christmas and her equally eccentric best friend Joseph are the ultimate misfits in their rural hometown of Wiggly, Georgia. When Christmas learns that the winners of the annual Birdie Scout Jamboree talent contest will be included on a recording to be sent into space for posterity, her mission in life becomes to join the Scouts and win Jamboree.
A snobbish local Birdie Scout troop and their uptight leader Miss Massey, played by Allison Janney, blackball her. Christmas rallies a group of elementary-school outliers to start their own chapter. With grudging help from her dad’s angry office manager, Miss Rayleen, played by Viola Davis, Christmas and her crew have to bypass every roadblock Miss Massey can find in the fine print of the Birdie bylaws to reach the Jamboree and their chance at immortality.
The Official Sundance Poster
The movie entertains on many levels with Christmas’ solitary late-night vigils and final show-stopping musical performance. Troop Zero is an endearing and magical tale set against a backdrop of beloved hits of the ’70s, as Christmas forges friendships that will change her life and help her find a real family.
Janney and Grace starred together in I, Tanya, which Janney won an Oscar for her supporting role.
The next installment of The Addams Family is an animated family.
Co-directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan, The Addams Family, like the television series, the animated movie is silly and dorky. The infamous family once again arrives in a different version – animated.
The television show went from featured film to Broadway and now back as an animated feature film. The family’s trademark of snapping their fingers is being played up in the trailer.
The studio is calling the movie the “first animated comedy about this creepy and kooky clan.” The conflict that keeps the story the movie interesting is not revealed yet. We know the family is still weird, outlandish, bizarre, and keeping to the original Addams Family behavior from the television show.
The all-star voice cast includes Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloë Grace Moretz, Finn Wolfhard, Nick Kroll, Bette Midler, and Allison Janney.
Here is the Instagram version of the trailer. The difference is it’s shorter, and there are captions like a meme.
The next trailer tells us more about the story. Wednesday altering the class Science project by bringing the frogs back to life is hilarious.
The next movie clip shows what to expect from beginning to the end of the movie – intentional mishaps to and fro.
The next clip is for those diehard fans who watched the television series, Broadway show, and movies.
