Finish Winter With February Comedy And Animation
Just seven days left to official declaration of spring. What a relief! To go on with this happy tune, try watching a new comedy from a rather long list of new releases.

And don't miss the latest releases of science fiction.
COMEDY
Plot Synopsis: While searching for any significance to his existence, suicidal Ben Layten (Thomas Middleditch) discovers that he almost had an adopted sister. With the help of his enthusiastic neighbor Tabby (Diana Bang), Ben sets out to find this not-quite sibling in an effort to discern if his life could have been different or more meaningful. While tracking down his would-be sister, he meets the mysterious Hanna Weathers (Jess Weixler) and suddenly finds himself in a very different relationship than what he'd been hoping for. Ben is forced to confront some dark truths as he faces the possibility that everything he thinks he knows about himself, and about Hanna, just isn't true… and that life, and love, is a lot more complicated than he ever imagined.
Plot Synopsis: When Kyle (Ross Lynch), a social outcast, happens upon a magical phone app that causes anything he posts to come true, he uses it to create his idea of the ‘perfect' life. He even wins the affection of the two most beautiful girls in school, Dani (Olivia Holt) and Charlotte (Courtney Eaton). However, he soon learns that the life he created is far from perfect, and that being yourself, imperfections and all, is the only way to find true happiness in life.
Plot Synopsis: A romantic ensemble comedy about modern day relationships provides insight into the complexities of the male vs female brain at varying stages of love: whether it's finding the right romantic balance; parenting; expressing emotion; or simply admitting shortcomings when a bathroom remodel goes awry.

Will Noah ever get it right?
Plot Synopsis: Janet (Kristin Scott Thomas) has just been appointed to a key ministerial position in the shadow cabinet - the crowning achievement of her political career.

As the guests arrive at their home in London the party takes an unexpected turn when Bill suddenly makes some explosive revelations that take everyone present by surprise.

Plot Synopsis: Berlin, the future, but close enough to feel familiar: in this loud, often brutal city, Leo (Alexander Skarsgard), unable to speak from a childhood accident, searches for his missing girlfriend, the love of his life, his salvation, through dark streets, frenzied plazas, and the full spectrum of the cities shadow-dwellers. As he seeks answers, Leo finds himself mixed up with Cactus Bill (Paul Rudd) and Duck (Justin Theroux), a pair of irreverent US army surgeons on a mission all their own.
ANIMATION
