Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows tries to replicate the goofy charm of the original 1987-96 animated TV series—but in a messier manner.
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
Popstar wittily—but often very crudely—deconstructs the self-absorbed narcissism that traps ego-driven stars in a bubble world of their own creating.

Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising
Women everywhere should wince and gasp at such a cinematic definition of feminine panache.
