The feature film adaptation of YouTube’s beloved YouTube series follows a small shell, Jenny Slate (voiced) who walks around in shoes and waxes philosophical.

Our review:

Saying casually profound things in a charmingly direct way is kind of Marcel’s thing. Marcel the Shell and Shoes OnMarcel makes simple and off-kilter observations on the people, places and objects around him that get remarkable mileage. Considering that the original Marcel videos clocked in at less than 12 minutes total, it’s a testament to the script’s strengths that the feature-length version of his schtick never gets old. The film runs a mere 89 minutes, which is still quite short. The dramatic arc of this magical-realist comedy is gentle: Dean’s YouTube videos about Marcel bring them viral fame, which excites and frightens them both. These jokes are warm and funny.

One of cinema’s sexiest franchises comes to a close with this final installment of the Magic Mike trilogy. Steven Soderbergh returns to the director’s chair for this one, which sees Channing Tatum’s Mike become a “kept man” for a very wealthy Salma Hayek.

Our review:

All in all, Magic Mike’s Last Dance has the feel of a stage musical, complete with big emotions expressed through song — or a half-naked interpretive dance in the fake rain, as the case may be. It’s a lusty, aspirational fairy tale, featuring heightened scenarios, luxe wardrobe choices, and a London where working-class Adonises stage impromptu flash mobs on double-decker buses. The movie is briefly transformed into a jazzy adventure in this scene. à laItalic JobHowever, with the intent to seduce an insecure bureaucrat and steal $4,000,000 worth of gold bullion.
