“An American Pickle” Should Have Stayed in the Jar
Wacky antics ensue when a 100-year-old Jewish man wakes up from a pickled hibernation in the modern world.

In an Auckland Chinese diner, cynical Elle regrets swiping right on old-fashioned Winson. His kung-fu hero profile feels like a catfish, and he's annoyed she arrived late. Just as they're ready to leave, a mountain of food arrives—Winson's classic Chinese over-ordering. Guilt and hunger keep Elle at the table. Tensions rise as she mocks traditional dating, and he accuses her of being "not Chinese enough." Their clash turns physical—tea is served, chopsticks fly, kung-fu ignites.

Overall, Cruella stands above the other Disney retellings. Its dark and bold, and that is exactly what these retellings should be. Emma Stone continues to prove she's one of the finest young actresses working today, and Emma Thompson gives one of the best villain performances in the last decade.

Honey Don't! is a chaotic queer noir that's part detective story, part midnight movie madness. Margaret Qualley is fantastic as the wise-cracking private eye Honey, with Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans adding their own dry humor to the mix.
