Good Boys

From the producers who brought us "Superbad" (2007) comes this comedy about three young friends desperate to get to a party to prove just how cool they really are. Best friends Max (Tremblay), Lucas (Williams) and Thor (Noon) are doing their best to navigate the social minefield that is sixth grade. When Max is invited to a party that could lead to a chance to kiss his crush, Brixlee (Davis), the trio set out to gather as much information about kissing as they can. They use Max's dad's drone to spy on Hannah (Gordon), a neighbor with a lot of kissing experience, but lose the drone in the process. They must retrieve the drone by any means necessary while planning for the party of their lives. And, of course, hilarity ensues.

The Peanut Butter Falcon

When Zak (Gottsagen), a young man with Down syndrome, escapes the retirement home where he lives, he hides out on a fishing boat in the hopes of making it to a wrestling school to fulfill his dream of becoming a wrestler.

When Tyler witnesses Zak getting dangerously bullied by some kids, he decides to keep Zak with him and drop him off at the wrestling school on his way to Florida.

However, the family is keeping this diagnosis a secret from Nai Nai herself and are planning a cousin's wedding in China in an effort to bring the family together one last time before Nai Nai dies.
