HBO Max subscribers are running out of time to catch a handful of their favorite movies before they leave at the beginning of April.
March is one of the longest months of the year, and that’s still not enough time to watch every film that’s going out the door.
That’s why the Watch With Us team has narrowed the selection down to four films.
HBO Max is losing these four movies on April 1, and we argue why you need to watch them.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a throwback coming-of-age teen romance that we don’t see in theaters very often anymore. Logan Lerman stars as Charlie Kelmeckis, a friendless high school student who only really gets along with his English teacher, Mr. Anderson (Paul Rudd).
Charlie has a lonely life until he meets two seniors, Sam (Emma Watson) and Patrick (Ezra Miller). He starts to have romantic feelings for the former, while keeping secrets from the latter. But the biggest secrets Charlie has are the ones he’s hiding from himself.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower is streaming on HBO Max through March 31.
I Give it a Year is a rom-com in reverse, as Nat Redfern (Rose Byrne) and Josh Moss (Rafe Spall) get married near the beginning of the film, only to realize that they may have made a terrible mistake. Marriage isn’t all happy endings, and the couple does put in the effort to make each other happy. It’s just not working.
It doesn’t help that Josh’s ex-girlfriend, Chloe (Anna Faris), still has feelings for him. Nor is the relationship safe when Nat feels attracted to her wealthy client, Guy Harrap (Simon Baker). Things get even messier when Guy and Chloe start dating. It’s going to take a lot to untangle this romantic knot.
I Give it a Year is streaming on HBO Max through March 31.
Drag Me to Hell is a Sam Raimi flick, so there are some funny moments in this horror story. But let’s just say that this is one movie where no one can accuse the film’s title of false advertising. Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) is at risk of being physically pulled into Hell, and it’s all her fault.
Christine was presented with a moral choice, and she made the wrong one. This was no victimless crime, as it cost an old woman, Sylvia Ganush (Lorna Raver), her home. Sylvia was also the wrong woman to cross, because she has real magic, and Christine almost immediately feels the curse placed upon her. If she can’t find a way to lift this back mark against her, then Christine isn’t long for this world.
Drag Me to Hell is streaming on HBO Max through March 31.
Where would we be without rich people and their rich people’s games? Bee (Maria Bakalova) is the odd woman out in Bodies Bodies Bodies. Bee may be dating a wealthy young woman, Sophie (Amandla Stenberg), but Sophie’s circle of rich friends is a lot to take in.
David (Pete Davidson) gathers the group together at his remote house for a “hurricane party” and murder mystery game in the dark. But when a real body turns up, Bee and the group believe there’s a killer among them. And these entitled jerks aren’t going down without a fight, even if they start killing each other first.
Bodies Bodies Bodies is streaming on HBO Max through March 31.
