Friday’s openings: Turtles, romance and mockery
What with the Memorial Day holiday slowing things down a bit, it may take a while to get a final listing of the week's releases. So far, though, Friday's mainstream openings are as follows:
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows": The fraternal reptile quartet returns to battle new threats to New York City, including a pair of other mutants, a warthog and a rhinoceros. Somebody get these guys a pizza.
"Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping": Former SNL star Andy Samberg stars in this mockumentary (that he co-wrote) about a Justin Bieber-type pop/hip-hop star. Heavy, yo.
"Me Before You": A young woman, hired to aid a quadriplegic man, does the typical — she falls in love. Bring hankies.
As always, I'll update as the week progresses.
