Friday’s openings: Bad Grandpa and troubled teens

Dan Webster

The big news involving Friday's movie openings is that the Oscar-nominated film "Mustang" is opening at the Magic Lantern. The larger list of scheduled openings is as follows:

"The Boy": The new nanny is confused when her family treats a boy doll as if he were real. Ooooooooooh.

"Dirty Grandpa": Robert DeNiro is the lead character, an elderly man intent on teaching his button-downed grandson (Zac Efron) a few things before he settles down to get married. Guess what happens next?

"The 5th Wave": Alien have attacked Earth in four waves. A young girl (Chloe Grace Moritz) tries to save her younger brother as the fifth attack commences. Where's Will Smith when we need him?

And at the Magic Lantern:

"Mustang": A posse of Turkish teen girls face the consequences when their bid for independence is countered by their conservative parents. France's Oscar-nominated entry for Best Foreign Language Film.

I'll update/amend as more information becomes available.
