Billy Madison
One of Adam Sandler's most beloved films, the screwball comedy 'Billy Madison' does not stray from the star's formulas. The humor is outrageous, a lot of things are nonsensical, and the limit is broken in some moments. However, it is impossible to deny that some of the situations in which Sandler's character gets involved, trying to recover his father's inheritance, are absolutely hilarious -- not to mention that the feature has one of the strangest, funniest, and most disproportionate insults in movie history. A film, finally, that needs to be seen like the rest of Sandler's filmography: without great pretensions, as a fun pastime to laugh, pass the time, and forget.
Musicals
An American in Paris
Jerry Mulligan, a struggling American painter in Paris, is "discovered" by an influential heiress with an interest in more than Jerry's art. Jerry in turn falls for Lise, a young French girl already engaged to a cabaret singer. Jerry jokes, sings and dances with his best friend, an acerbic would-be concert pianist, while romantic complications abound.
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
Part two in French filmmaker Jacques Demy's informal romantic trilogy (begun with Lola), The Umbrellas of Cherbourg continues the director's experimentation with the idea of a full musical, where songs completely take the place of dialogue from start to finish, in combination with naturalistic performances as a counterpoint to an extremely colorful and artificial, almost saccharine production design. For those accustomed to the Hollywood musical formula, this may seem strange, even uncomfortable. However, the effect achieved by Demy is one of profound emotionality and, paradoxically, feels less artificial, perfect for telling this story about the earnestness of a young girl's (Catherine Deneuve) first love who is separated from her beloved boyfriend (Nino Castelnuovo) by his enlistment for war in Algeria, sending their lives on tragically separate paths. Winner of the Cannes Palme d'Or, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg remains one of the most singular musicals in history.
Disney Intertwined Live
A live show based on the Disney+ Original Series 'Intertwined,' featuring original songs, covers from the '90s and a selection of songs from 'Freaky Friday: A New Musical.'
La Usurpadora: The Musical
Cinematic adaptation of the successful 90s telenovela of the same name. La Usurpadora tells the same story: a kind and young woman from Las Vegas meets her identical twin, a cold and egocentric woman, who offers her money to go to Mexico and pass as her with her family. Although it lacks complexity in terms of visuals and linguistics, you will enjoy it musically if you like music from Selena, Celia Cruz or Paulina Rubio.
