With his vanity car and a slick attitude, Mickey Haller became a hit when the series first released, with positive reviews for Manuel Garcia-Rulfo’s portrayal of the titular lawyer. Kelley of Big Little Lies fame, and developed by The Good Wife’s Ted Humphrey, The Lincoln Lawyer is a Netflix original series released in May 2022 and is based on Michael Connelly’s bestselling eponymous novel series. Mickey Haller’s moral ambiguity might not be his best suit but his ability to crack the most challenging and complex cases is. LA’s hotshot lawyer is back with his iconic swagger and snappy blue Lincoln Town Car to unravel another mystery. KelleyĬast: Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Neve Campbell, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson Bursting with heart and earnest good nature, The Big Sick is a witty and charming exploration of love, commitment and family, and it’s a bonafide crowd-pleaser to boot.Available: July 6 | Created By: David E. He tries to hide the relationship from his parents, who expect a strictly traditional arranged marriage to a Muslim woman, but their romance faces an even greater hurdle when she falls into an inexplicable coma and he bonds with her parents (who you can't help but fall in love with thanks to the performances from Ray Romano and Holly Hunter). The story follows a standup comic (Nanjiani) who falls for a woman who heckles him (Kazan) at a show. Directed by Michael Showalter from a script by Nanjiani and Gordon, the film stars Nanjiani as himself and Zoe Kazan as Emily in the stranger-than-fiction story of two people falling in love despite clashing cultures, family expectations, and a mysterious life-threatening illness. Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon’s real-life love story serves as inspiration for the most delightful romantic comedy in years in The Big Sick. Run Time: 2 hr | Director: Michael ShowalterĬast: Kumail Najiani, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter, Ray Romano, Anupam Kher, Zenobia Shroff, Bo Burnham, Aidy Bryant Fun, sweet, and witty, it’s a classic feel-good rom-com with an unbeatable cast. And they do it with a heck of a supporting duo in Adam Driver and Mackenzie Davis as a demonstrative, passionate couple who absolutely cannot keep their hands off of each other, a hilarious foil couple to Wallace and Chantry’s abstinent love. The film takes an interesting if ultimately familiar spin on the genre starring Radcliffe as Wallace, a young man burned by a string of bad relationships who sparks up an instant friendship (and undeniable chemistry) with Chantry (Kazan) – who happens to live with her longtime boyfriend. Together, they try to figure out what it means to be best friends with the person who might also be your soul mate. You’d be hard-pressed to think of two more likable, amiable actors in the game than Daniel Radcliffe and Zoe Kazan, and their 2013 rom-com What If is every bit the easy-watching, feel-good love story you’d expect. Run Time: 1 hr 42 min | Director: Michael DowseĬast: Daniel Radcliffe, Zoe Kazan, Adam Driver, Mackenzie Davis, Megan Park You don’t have to look too hard to see how Heathers changed the teen move genre and inspired a wave of comedies to come from Jawbreaker to Mean Girls, plenty of films carried on in the tradition of sharp-mouthed adolescents who play rough, but no one did it better or with more venom than Heathers. Heathers is raucous and provocative, not to mention endlessly quotable, with depth of commentary on social hierarchy and the high school experience that make it such an iconic film. Winona Ryder stars as Veronica, a quick-witted student desperate to escape the vapid clique of “Heathers” destroying her teen dream, who winds up in deadly territory when she teams with the stone-cold gorgeous school sociopath ( Christian Slater) to get rid of them.
