Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. Judy Blume’s classic coming-of-age novel finally gets the bigscreen treatment. Director Kelly Fremon Craig also helmed a stellar teen movie with 2016’s The Edge of Seventeen. Here’s hoping Blume’s generations of fans mean people will actually see this one.

Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World The life of America’s favorite boxer, pastor, and grillmeister told through the lens of his inexhaustible faith. The title may have more words than Foreman has kids, but the movie’s 53% rotten rating likely means it has something substantial to say about belief and does it pretty well. Now playing in theatres.

The End of Sex A young married couple try some wild sexual escapades when their kids go off to camp and figure out their love or something after 90 grating minutes of indie banter and tired envelope-pushing. Now playing at Regal Hollywood 27 and Regal Opry Mills 20.
