Mario, Luigi and friends head to space. Bowser Jr. has kidnapped Princess Rosalina. There are Lumas, there is Fox McCloud, there is Glen Powell (Top Gun: Maverick) in animated form, because that’s the world we live in now and it’s brilliant. Chris Pratt (Guardians Of The Galaxy), Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit), Jack Black (School Of Rock) and Donald Glover (Atlanta) all reprise their roles from the first film, with Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) joining as Rosalina and Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems) as a surprisingly fun Bowser Jr. It is joyfully entertaining and you’ll love it as much as the kids do.

Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling, Barbie) wakes up alone on a spaceship, millions of miles from Earth, with no memory of how he got there or what he’s supposed to be doing. As his memory gradually returns, he discovers he’s on a one-way mission to save humanity from extinction – and he might have more company than he expected. (We’re treading lightly around the plot, because this movie takes some very big swings and you won’t want to be spoiled.) Directed by powerhouse duo Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (The LEGO Movie), it’s sitting at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes and getting compared to early Steven Spielberg, which feels about right. Indisputably the best film of the year so far.

Mabel (voiced by Piper Curda) is a passionate animal lover who uses experimental technology to hop her mind into a lifelike robotic animal, enabling her to communicate with the wildlife being threatened by a smooth-talking local mayor (Mad Men’s Jon Hamm, perfectly cast as a villain). Bobby Moynihan (IF) provides the movie’s heart as King George the beaver, and Meryl actual Streep (The Devil Wears Prada) turns up as the Insect Queen, because who else could you cast as a queen? Hoppers is funny, genuinely moving, and – perhaps the greatest compliment any animated film can receive – feels like classic Disney Pixar. It may even be their funniest movie yet.

Neve Campbell is back as Scream series heroine Sidney Prescott for this seventh movie, while Courteney Cox (Friends) also returns as cynical reporter Gale Weathers. Written and directed by Kevin Williamson, the man who wrote the original that kickstarted everything back in 1996, Scream 7 follows Sidney as a new Ghostface targets her daughter Tatum (Isabel May, 1883). Incredibly, it’s the highest-grossing film in franchise history – doubly amazing when you consider how many hits the series has had – which should answer any questions about whether this clever/scary formula still works.

In the late 1990s, two young lads from Dundee kept getting knocked back by the music industry for having the wrong accents. Their solution? Fake Californian ones, claim to be childhood friends with Eminem and blag their way to a record deal, an MTV appearance and a tour with the man himself. Yep, it’s a true story. It’s also sitting at 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it’s one of those films you’ll want to tell someone about immediately after seeing it. Samuel Bottomley and Séamus McLean Ross play the likely lads, and both are outstanding. It’s also the directorial debut of James McAvoy (Atonement) and it’s one of the best British films in years.

Glen Powell (The Running Man) plays Becket Redfellow, a man disowned at birth by his obscenely wealthy family who decides the most logical solution to the problem is to systematically murder his relatives until the inheritance is his. It’s a dark, stylish, A24-backed black comedy loosely inspired by the 1949 British classic Kind Hearts And Coronets, with Margaret Qualley (The Substance), Ed Harris (The Truman Show), Jessica Henwick (Game Of Thrones) and Zach Woods (The Office) making up the excellent supporting cast. And it’s further proof that Powell’s cheekbones and considerable screen presence make him one of the most in-demand leading actors in Hollywood right now.

Dakota Johnson (Materialists) and Adria Arjona (Hit Man) lead this sharp, grown-up comedy that premiered at Cannes and was immediately compared to the best relationship comedies of the 1970s. When Ashley (Arjona) asks for a divorce, her good-natured husband Carey (Kyle Marvin) goes running to his best friends Julie (Johnson) and Paul (Michael Angelo Covino) for support, only to discover that the secret to their spectacularly happy marriage is an open relationship. It sets off a chain of events that manages to upend everyone’s lives simultaneously. Original comedies like this are rare beasts, so don’t miss out.
