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.

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.
Co-directed by Aron Gaudet and Gita Pullapilly and inspired by a true story, QUEENPINS is an outrageous comedy. The story is about a bored and frustrated suburban homemaker, Connie, played by Kristen Bell, and her best pal JoJo, played by Kirby Howell-Baptiste—a vlogger with dreams who turn a hobby into a multi-million dollar counterfeit coupon caper.

After firing off a letter to the conglomerate behind a box of cereal gone stale and receiving an apology along with dozens of freebies, the duo hatches an illegal coupon club scheme that scams millions from mega-corporations and delivers deals to legions of fellow coupon clippers.
This poster is like the first one, but the release dates are new. A common occurrence with the pandemic.
On the trail to total coupon dominance, a hapless Loss Prevention Officer, played Paul Walter Hauser, from the local supermarket chain joins forces with a determined U.S. Postal Inspector, played by Vince Vaughn, in hot pursuit of these newly-minted “Queenpins” of pink collar crime.
Directed by Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee, Frozen II’s first movie trailer is an epic animated feature. Keep scrolling down until you have seen all the trailers. The “Let It Go” theme plays in undertones throughout the trailer. It promotes hardship, adversary, and uniting as a powerful threesome against the enemy.
Disney tells us about Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, and Olaf’s journey far in the forest to discover the known truth about an ancient mystery of their kingdom. The movie is now streaming, and the Blu-ray and DVD are available.
The former cast is returning, with Evan Rachel Wood and Sterling K. Brown added to the cast list.
The second trailer is not all that different from the first. It’s incredible to watch Elsa handle the ocean with her frozen powers. That technique reminds me of Frozone in the Incredibles movies. Since both films were produced by Disney Studios, an educated guess is that the same animated team that made Frozone’s ice made Elsa’s.
The trailer shows the two sisters going on a journey to discover the truth by going to the past. The Stonehenge tells us it is a mystical journey—perhaps they go back in time like the popular book and TV series Outlander. We see Elsa’s powers are too strong.
The third trailer tells us the story. It is intriguing with all the mystical aspects of Elsa’s powers. It’s a serious story with humor by the quirky characters from the first movie that we found endearing.
Co-directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, we are in for more bad mom movies. The movie follows best friends Amy, played by Mila Kunis, Kiki, played by Kristen Bell, and Carla, played by Kathryn Hahn, unburden more stress during the holidays when their respective mothers come to visit.
The Blu-ray/DVD is on the streets even though it is nowhere near Christmas. Somehow, I think you will agree with me. Let’s wait and watch the movie until Christmas. But, if you are an early Christmas shopper, you can get the package now.
With that, here are the two trailers for A Bad Moms Christmas. One of these trailers is a Red Band trailer. The Red Band trailer is funny. I am laughing!
These clips are so funny that I just have to post each one. Have a good laugh!
Directed by Ken Marino, How to Be a Latin Lover stars Eugenio Derbez in the cross-culture movie with more of a Latin flare than a true American comedy. Eugenio plays a very handsome and very young Maximo who dreams of being rich without ever having to work a day in his life.
Having made a career of seducing rich older women, he marries a wealthy woman more than twice his age. 25 years later, spoiled and bored from waking up next to his now 80-year-old wife. He gets the surprise of his life when she ends up dumping him for a younger car salesman.
Forced out of his mansion and desperate for a place to stay, he must move in with his estranged sister, Sara, played by Salma Hayek, and her nerdy but adorable son, Hugo, in their small apartment. Eager to return to the lap of luxury, Maximo uses his nephew’s crush on a classmate to get to his new target-her grandmother, Celeste, a widowed billionaire.
As Maximo tries to rekindle his powers as a Latin lover, he bonds with his nephew Hugo, and he learns that being a Latin lover means that loving money isn’t as important as the love of your family.
