You’re Cordially Invited

Rom-com queen Reese Witherspoon (Legally Blonde) plays Margot, a wedding planner and the dedicated sister of a bride-to-be prepping for her big day. However, her plans for her sister are soon upended by the appearance of Will Ferrell’s (Elf) Jim, whose own daughter is getting married on the same weekend — at the same location, no less, thanks to a double-booking snafu.

Desperate to give their loved ones the wedding weekend of their dreams, Margot and Jim lock heads — boat hijinks, family scandals, and even an alligator attack ensue. Like a hybrid of The Wedding Planner and Neighbors, this movie is pure slapstick fun.

Young Sheldon S7

Sheldon Cooper, the socially awkward theoretical physicist from The Big Bang Theory (TBBT) who became a TV icon, gets his backstory fleshed out in the spin-off series Young Sheldon. While TBBT was a sitcom made like the classics — one-liner jokes performed in front of a live crowd, à la Friends and How I Met Your Mother — Young Sheldon is more relatable and family-driven, closer to the likes of Kim’s Convenience and Abbott Elementary.

The show follows — you guessed it — young Sheldon, a child prodigy who struggles to make friends and get along with his family. In TBBT, Sheldon was a witty and inscrutable eccentric. In Young Sheldon, however, Sheldon faces problems just like any other kid — and it’s his intellect that both saves the day and gets him into trouble. Heartfelt and hilarious, the sitcom concluded after seven seasons and has become a cult favourite.

What We Do in the Shadows S6

Starting out as the passion project of director Taika Waititi (Jojo Rabbit), What We Do in the Shadows follows the misadventures of a group of ancient vampires, who all attempt to live normal lives in the same house in modern-day New York. But when you put such different individuals — a stuffy warlord, a libidinous nobleman, a Greek diva, and a literal energy vampire — all under one roof, personalities are bound to clash.

What makes What We Do in the Shadows an addictive binge-watch isn’t just the outrageous shenanigans but also the celebrity cameos that enrich each season’s stories. Past episodes have featured the likes of Mark Hamill, Dave Bautista, Tilda Swinton, and Wesley Snipes. In Season 6, expect more laughs with guests Steve Coogan and Alexander Skarsgård, the latter reviving his iconic True Blood character, Eric Northman (though the character never mentions his name here), from the (un)dead.

A Real Pain

Sometimes, life’s funniest moments come from family. And in A Real Pain, the familial struggles are painfully relatable. The directorial debut of Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network), A Real Pain stars him alongside Kieran Culkin (Succession), who won an Oscar for his stirring performance here.

Culkin is Benji Kaplan, an adult slacker who reunites with David Kaplan (Eisenberg), his uptight cousin and former bestie, after many years apart. The two are brought together by the death of their grandmother, whose Polish ancestry they attempt to discover and explore over a guided road trip across the European country.

It’s their conflicting adult personalities that dig up long-held secrets and wounds. Still, they attempt to reconnect and empathise with each other in this buddy comedy, where sobering laughs and tear-jerking moments abound.
