We’ve hit the weekend and, perhaps, you’re looking for a new movie. Below is a roundup of some theatrical and streaming releases you can check out!

Couture (Limited)
Starring: Angelina Jolie, Ella Rumpf, and Anyier Anei
Synopsis: This limited release is loosely tied to Paris fashion week and features loosely connected stories of three women struggling. One is an American director (Jolie) who is going through a divorce and dealing with a painful medical diagnosis. One is a makeup artist (Rumpf) who is trying to expand her career. And one is a new model (Anei) trying to get established in a bigger market. Most of the film finds these three living out their own stories, all in the same city. While they do loosely intersect in the final act, all coming together as part of the same show, it’s not as if there is a big, joint payoff. It’s an interesting character study, or at least an interesting idea for a character study. The performances are fine, and there are some interesting shots. But the story feels too thin and there doesn’t feel like enough of a payoff for the investment of time.
Rating: Rated R for language, some sexuality, nudity and brief bloody violence.

Jackass: Best and Last (Theaters)
Synopsis: Since the original series kicked off on MTV in 2000, the crew of Jackass has been part of the cultural landscape. The series ran through 2007 and has been followed by a series of theatrical films. This new one, which captures 25 years of Jackass antics, is their fifth and final theatrical film. In part it’s a retrospective, looking at the best bits from their time, including some bits that were deemed too over-the-line to make it on MTV. It’s also a way to pay homage to key members of the team, like Bam Margera and Ryan Dunn, who are no longer part of the group. In part, it’s also a chance for the group, including Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O, to have a few new segments and bits that show that even though they’ve aged they haven’t outgrown that Jackass spirit. If you’ve been a fan of the series or previous films, you’ll enjoy this last outing. It feels like a fitting sendoff and a fun ride in the theater. It’s a short 90 minutes, including some great tributes to 25 years of content.
Rating: Rated R for extremely dangerous stunts and crude material throughout, graphic nudity, pervasive language and sexual material.

Little Brother (Netflix)
Starring: John Cena, Eric Andre, and Michelle Monaghan
Synopsis: This is a big, broad comedy. It centers on Rudd (Cena), a successful New York real estate mogul with a loving wife (Monaghan) and a great family. But he’s always been in the shadow of his successful brother (Christopher Meloni), which has prompted him to land a spot on a successful reality show. But as his big break is about to happen, a blast from his past shows up. At one point, to look good on college applications, he participated in the Big Brother program. His little brother, Marcus (Andre), has long held him in esteem. And little does Rudd know, his assistant (Sherry Cola) has been keeping the relationship alive via a series of e-mails on Rudd’s behalf. So, Marcus shows up believing them to be best friends, throwing Rudd’s carefully crafted life and public image into chaos. And hilarity ensues. At least, it’s supposed to ensue. We’ve seen this set up many times before, even including several with Cena in the film. But usually he plays the wacky one, and here he’s the straight man. It works OK at times, but the film quickly goes off-the-rails and wears out its welcome despite a 100-minute run time. It’s sometimes painfully unfunny and predictable, especially in the second and third act. I liked the cast and the potential, but this landed with a thud.
Rating: Rated R for sexual content, language throughout, some drug use and brief graphic nudity.
