“Father of the Bride” (PG-13) – A new “Father of the Bride” film is now out on streaming! The original version of this film first released in 1950, followed by the popular 1991 remake starring Steve Martin. In 2022, Andy Garcia assumes the father of the bride role, with Gloria Estefan as the mother of the bride. Their characters, Billy and Ingrid, are in the middle of a marriage separation when their daughter, Sofia, announces she’s newly engaged, having proposed to her boyfriend, Adan. Even though Billy doesn’t fully approve of the engagement, he offers to pay for their wedding and keep up a happy-go-lucky facade with Ingrid until the wedding is over. With all the love in the air, can Billy and Ingrid’s story still stand a chance? (HBO Max)
“Baymax!” (TV-G) – You might remember the cuddly robot Baymax from Disney’s 2014 film “Big Hero 6.” Well, adventures with Baymax and the Big Hero 6 cast return for the whole family to enjoy in a new spinoff series. Baymax hasn’t changed much from when we last saw him – still a bit clueless, but always ready to help those around the fictional city of San Fransokyo. Maya Rudolph reprises her voice role as Aunt Cass, while comedian-writer Jaboukie Young-White joins the cast. The first episode of “Baymax!” hits streaming on June 29. (Disney+)
“Halftime” (TV-MA) – On her journey to performing the halftime show of Super Bowl LIV alongside Shakira, superstar Jennifer Lopez simultaneously participates in heavy award-season promotion for her movie “Hustlers.” While J.Lo reaches one milestone in her career by getting the halftime gig, she still feels she must prove her worthiness – as an actress, as a performer and as a female celebrity to be taken seriously. Whether you believe she is underappreciated or not, in this documentary, J.Lo excels in establishing the fact that she truly is one of the hardest working women in her industry. And that, at the very least, should command more respect. (Netflix)
“My Fake Boyfriend” (R) – A young man named Andrew is having a hard time trying to let go of his ex, Nico. Andrew often feels neglected and mistreated by Nico, to the point where his best friends, Jake and Kelly, decide to take matters into their own hands. Jake digitally creates Cristiano, a persona that appears online as Andrew’s new man, causing Nico to finally understand what it feels like to be cast off for someone new. But when Andrew organically meets someone new (and real), time starts ticking to get rid of Cristiano and his digital footprint. It’s not as easy as it sounds, though, when your faux boyfriend has 1.6 million followers. (Prime Video)
