Mother Nature may be luring you toward the outdoors with its warmer weather this spring, but Luxury Handbag Shopping has a lineup of must-see movies that will happily keep you inside and glued to the screen.
March, April and May offer an array of different moviegoer options, kicking off with Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s The Drama — a polarizing romance with a plot twist already stirring mixed emotions from early viewers.
“In my real life, what this movie has reminded me about love is: if you feel safe with someone, if you feel known by someone, and you feel seen by someone; then you feel like you can tell them everything,” Zendaya teased to Vogue about film earlier this month. “And because of that, you feel like you know them on every level. And that’s the hope, right? It’s to feel like you’re with someone that you can be your whole and true self with and they will love every part of that.”
If The Drama isn’t for you, there’s always the long-awaited sequel The Devil Wears Prada 2 or the overseas escapist rom-com You, Me & Tuscany. Laugh out loud comedies Pizza Movie and The Breadwinner are also on the lineup, as is Lee Cronin’s The Mummy for the year-round horror fanatics.
So touch grass later — and head indoors to see these films:
‘The Drama’
Why Go? Robert Pattinson and Zendaya star as a couple about to get hitched in this buzzy, mysterious drama about all that can go wrong right before the big day. It’ll make you wonder how well you really know your partner — or anyone.
Release Date: April 3
‘Pizza Movie’
Why Go? An original stoner comedy — written and directed by SNL’s Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher — about Stranger Things’ Gaten Matarazzo as a college student on a quest for pizza while tripping out of his mind is enough to sell Us. Jack Martin as the hilariously evil resident advisor out to destroy him is just the icing on the cake — or should we say topping on the pizza?
Release Date: April 3 (on Hulu)
‘You, Me and Tuscany’
Why Go? Rom-coms continue to make their big screen comeback with this escapist delight starring Halle Bailey and Bridgerton’s Rége-Jean Page. Set to the beautiful backdrop of Italy, the film feels like a mash-up of ‘90s classics Under the Tuscan Sun and While You Were Sleeping.
Release Date: April 10
‘Lee Cronin’s The Mummy’
Why Go? Writer-director Cronin’s twisted reimagining of the beloved films centers on the possession of a young girl by an ancient evil. No Brendan Fraser this time around, but the jump scares and heart-palpitating tension make up for his absence. We promise.
Release Date: April 17
‘Mother Mary’
Why Go? Anne Hathaway as a Gaga-like pop star in a psychosexual affair with a fashion designer (Michaela Coel) plus new music from Hathaway, Charli XCX and Jack Antonoff? We’ll be there opening night.
Release Date: April 17
‘Michael’
Why Go? Michael Jackson’s nephew Jaafar Jackson steps into the King of Pop’s shoes for this thriller of a biopic, which delves into the singer’s meteoric rise from child star to his complicated legacy as a global icon. With the amount of controversy the movie has already stirred up — massive reshoots, Michael’s daughter Paris Jackson’s ongoing legal battle with her father’s estate over the project and Janet Jackson’s reported dissatisfaction with the final product to name a few — anticipation over the film only grows higher.
Release Date: April 24
‘Devil Wears Prada 2’
Why Go? Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci and Emily Blunt are back for the sequel to the 2006 hit about the over-the-top horrors and delights of the fashion industry. Gird your loins!
Release Date: May 1
‘Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft — The Tour’
Why Go? Billie Eilish in concert? Fun. Billie in IMAX 3D with James Cameron co-directing alongside the pop icon herself? Must be seen to be believed. “No one has shot a concert film at this scale before,” says Titanic legend Cameron. We believe him.
Release Date: May 8
‘I Love Boosters’
Why Go? Grab the gals! Naomi Ackie, Keke Palmer, Demi Moore and Poppy Liu star in Boots Riley’s hypercolor romp about a group of shoplifters who take aim at a fashion maven.
Release Date: May 22
‘The Mandalorian and Grogu’
Why Go? The beloved Disney+ series is headed to the big screen, with Pedro Pascal as the Mandalorian, plus franchise newbies Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White. Best part: more of the adorable Grogu!
Release Date: May 22
‘Broad Trip’
Why Go? It’s been 15 years since Bridesmaids and 20 years since Heartbreakers, so this offbeat comedy about a buttoned-up daughter Alice (Sophia Bush) heading out on a bachelorette road trip to talk her wild mom, Jeanie (Lauren Holly), out of marrying a man she just met feels like perfect timing.
Release Date: May 26 (on Roku)
‘The Breadwinner’
Why Go? Comedian Nate Bargatze is firmly in his dad era in this family comedy about what happens when there’s a role reversal with wife Katie (Mandy Moore) after one of her inventions goes viral on Shark Tank.
Release Date: May 29
‘Pressure’
Why Go? Bring your dad or the historian in your friend group to this drama about the 72 hours before D-Day. Brendan Fraser, Andrew Scott and Chris Messina ensure there’s something for everyone.
Release Date: May 29
Bonus: ‘Project Hail Mary’
Why Go? Ryan Gosling — hot. Ryan Gosling in glasses and and a cardigan? Sizzling. Based on the Andy Weir novel of the same name, Gosling’s middle school science teacher turned astronaut Ryland Grace teams up with the world’s most adorable alien to save the universe. Do we really need to say anything else?
