Trailer
Why watch this film?
Starring the award-winning Mark Rylance ('Bridge of Spies') and Sally Hawkins ('The Shape of Water'), 'The Phantom of the Open' is a film based on the 2010 book of the same name. Simon Farnaby does an amazing job with the screenplay of this comedy, which showcases the life of Maurice Flitcroft (Rylance), a crane operator and amateur golfer from northern England who seeks to enter the British Open golf championship in 1976, where he is known as "the world's worst golfer". The film has a beautiful and unique message about the craziest dreams and the strength we find in family to achieve them.

From the same director
Eternal Beauty
Sally Hawkins is one of the most interesting actresses today, mixing dramatic works ('Maudie', 'Blue Jasmine'), children's movies ('Paddington Adventures') and blockbusters ('Godzilla') with always exquisite performances. In the comedy-drama 'Eternal Beauty', this is no different. Here, the actress plays a woman who needs to deal with her securities and insecurities in a world that seems to be getting crazier and crazier. Although the young director Craig Roberts (only 28 years old at the time of the film's release) loses his hand in some moments and leaves the plot somewhat dragged, 'Eternal Beauty' moves with the powerful performance of the protagonist and its modern message, reminding the viewer of important feelings to be lived and experienced. A movie to be watched with an open heart and soul, considering all its paths, possibilities and messages.
Comedy
Down Low
Repressed divorcé, Gary hires Cameron, a spirited and boundary-free sex worker to give him an erotic massage. When Cameron learns how inexperienced middle-aged Gary is, he becomes determined to deliver a crash course in unapologetic queer life. Cameron's agenda of hookup apps and gay nomenclature quickly causes the day to take several riotously obscure turns as the pair endure a nosy, pill-popping neighbor, a dark web intruder, and more in a hilarious evening of consequences and confrontation.
No Me Rompan
Two women struggling with anger issues join forces to defeat an eccentric surgeon who endangers their lives, in this hilarious, comedy-filled romp.
Candy Cane Lane
Like Jumanji, but set in Christmas. Starring Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross, "Candy Cane Lane" is a family Christmas comedy in which a man unintentionally makes a deal with a mischievous elf. Now, to avoid being turned into a doll, he must collect the golden rings owned by the characters from the classic song "The 12 Days of Christmas." It's a conventional and somewhat chaotic Christmas movie, but it's enjoyable due to the performances of its cast.
Family Switch
In Freaky Friday, a mother and daughter switch bodies – causing quite a bit of chaos. Now, imagine if an entire family switched bodies, including parents, children, a baby, and even the dog. That's what happens in the amusing comedy Switched: when an unexpected encounter causes the Walkers to swap bodies on the most important day of their lives, they'll need to work together to get what they want. Directed by McG, known for films as diverse as Terminator Salvation and The Babysitter, the feature's main highlight is its cast, led by Jennifer Garner and Ed Helms. It's a goofball comedy that flirts with family comedy, a subgenre that sometimes seems forgotten in the age of VHS and video rental stores but can still bring some laughs.
