It's Mother's Day weekend so I hope you have something special planned for your mom. If the movies are your thing with Mom, here are the films you can look for in theaters this weekend.
Book Club: The Next Chapter
It's Jane Fonda's second big movie of the year (after 80 for Brady back in February) and the sequel to the 2018 film Book Club. This time around the ladies are heading off to Italy where one of their foursome is getting married. Fonda returns for this sequel along with Diane Lane, Candice Bergen, and Mary Steenburgen. On the gentlemen's side, look for Don Johnson, Andy Garcia, and Craig T. Nelson to star in this romantic comedy. 
Fool's Paradise
If you only know Charlie Day from his meme appearances, it may be time to give him a chance on the big screen. Not only does Day star in this film, but he is making his directorial debut. This film is about a man who has recently been released from a mental health facility and bears a striking resemblance to a famous movie star. Unfortunately, the star refuses to leave his trailer to the mental health patient is hired to be his stand-in for public appearances. The film co-star Ken Jeong, Kate Beckinsale, Adrien Brody, Jason Sudeikis, Edie Falco, Jason Bateman, Common, John Malkovich, and the late Ray Liotta. Hopefully this will get as good a reception as the previous Liotta film Cocaine Bear did a few months back. 
Hypnotic
With his previous film AIR hitting Amazon Prime today, you can get a double helping of Ben Affleck this weekend as his new thriller Hypnotic hits theaters today as well. This film centers around Affleck's investigator who is trying to find his missing daughter. As he learns more it becomes clear that her disappearance is somehow connected with a string of high-profile bank robberies. The film co-stars Alice Braga and William Fichtner. 
Knights of the Zodiac
This is likely the biggest action film of the weekend and while Mackenyu's name might not be familiar to you, there are some names you will recognize in this film. Mackenyu stars as an orphan who discovers he is the only person alive who can protect a reincarnated goddess who was sent to watch over humanity. Madison Iseman (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) co-stars with Famke Janssen (X-Men) and Sean Bean (Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones). 
Rally Road Racers
Last up in wide release this weekend is the animated film Rally Road Racers. This film features a cast of animated animals racing across the silk road for glory. The voice cast includes Chloe Bennet, J. K. Simmons, and John Cleese. Limited Releases
It's been a busy last two months and the theaters will remain full of new releases throughout the summer, but if you're looking for something a little different, check out these limited releases this weekend:
