Why watch this film?
Directed by Greg Mottola ("Adventureland: A Memorable Summer," "Paul") and co-written by Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen (screenwriters of "Pineapple Express"), "Super Cool" (more commonly known by its original title, "Superbad") is a teen comedy that manages to balance the typical vulgarity of high schoolers with truly authentic moments, resulting in a movie that, even if it doesn't hold up so well under modern scrutiny, is still absurdly funny, or at least enough to be one of the best comedies of its kind. Partially inspired by the teenage experiences of its screenwriters (the protagonists are named Evan and Seth), the movie follows two outcast teens with only one goal for the last party before college: illegally score alcohol and have sex, though it turns out to be easier said than done. "Super Cool" is also relevant for marking the takeoff of several now-known Hollywood actors, particularly Jonah Hill in his first leading role, and both Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Emma Stone in their respective film debuts.

Plot summary
Seth and Evan want nothing more than to lose their virginity before they head off to college. To do that, though, they need to get liquor for the big party that night. With the help of their friend Fogell, a.k.a. McLovin, and his fake I.D., the three of them go on a hilarious chase for that elusive booze, dodging incompetent cops, angry neighbors and jealous boyfriends.

Adventureland
Directed by Greg Mottola ('Superbad'), 'Adventureland: A Memorable Summer' is a dramedy about learning to face the real world, as well as finding a new purpose in the midst of adversity. The plot follows a recent college graduate (Jesse Eisenberg) who has big plans for his future, including a trip to Europe and a postgraduate degree in journalism, after graduating from college. However, lack of money forces him to cancel everything and look for a precarious job at the amusement park of the title, which seems like the worst thing in the world until he starts to discover new truths about life. It's a film full of nostalgia and optimism that echoes the youthful hopes that many of us have had, with masterful performances by Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart ('Twilight'), alongside talents like Ryan Reynolds, Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig.
Confess, Fletch
Confess, Fletch (Confiesa, Fletch) is the third installment of the action-comedy franchise Fletch, starring Chevy Chase in the 80s. Now with Jon Hamm (Mad Men) in the lead and directed by Greg Mottola (Super Cool), Confess, Fletch (Confiesa, Fletch) follows its charming protagonist who is framed for murder while investigating the theft of an art collection. No need to have seen the previous installments: any fan of mystery comedies (like Knives Out and Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery) will enjoy this movie a lot, and be surprised by Hamm's comedic talents.
Comedy
A Brighter Tomorrow
Italian filmmaker Nanni Moretti (winner of the Palme d'Or in 2001 for The Son's Room) returns with what has been called his 8½, for obvious reasons. A Brighter Tomorrow is the story of a filmmaker struggling to shoot a movie about the Hungarian Revolution, while trying to save his marriage to his producer wife. The film satirizes the current state of cinema, and perhaps indulges a bit too much in its nostalgia. It is far from the best that veteran Moretti has to offer, but if you've enjoyed his previous films, you will undoubtedly enjoy this one.
City Hunter
'City Hunter' - An exceptional marksman and hopeless playboy, private eye Ryo Saeba reluctantly forms an alliance with his late partner’s sister to investigate his death.
Club Zero
Miss Novak joins the staff of an international boarding school to teach a conscious eating class and forms a strong bond with five students that eventually takes a dangerous turn.
Aumenta que é Rock’n’Roll
The film tells the story of Luiz Antônio, a clumsy radio presenter who, unexpectedly, finds himself in charge of a bankrupt and falling apart radio station. Relying only on his passion for rock’n’roll and a crazy team, he created one of the most emblematic radio stations in the history of Brazilian rock, Fluminense FM. Between guitar solos and signal interference, we follow the adventures and misadventures of Luiz who, on top of that, falls in love with a married announcer.
