Your Memorial Day weekend movie guide is here! From 'Aladdin' to adult fare, we've got you

A three-day weekend means an extra day to hit the movies! But what should you see?

As the summer season kicks off, the options can seem overwhelming. Should you finally see "Avengers: Endgame"? Is "Aladdin" worth the price of admission? Does Keanu Reeves kill it in "John Wick 3"? And, seriously, is there a decent date movie out there? (You bet there is.)

Or should you save your money, stay home and just stream something?

We've got the answers. From kids' movies to art-house picks and seriously fun adult fare, here are the movies you should bet on this Memorial Day weekend.

If you want to revisit 'A Whole New World' in a movie theater, see 'Aladdin'

No need to sit in Memorial Day traffic when you can visit the magical land of Agrabah. Disney's live-action remake of "Aladdin," the 1992 animated classic that featured Robin Williams as Genie, is a nostalgic magic carpet ride with an updated twist. It boasts boisterous versions of the classic songs "A Whole New World," "Friend Like Me" and "Prince Ali" with Will Smith working his own magic in the Genie role (you'll get used to the blue). Read our ★★★ review.

Burning questions: Does 'Aladdin' differ from the original? How is Will Smith's Genie? We have answers

Best movie to sneak a can of wine into? 'Booksmart'

"Booksmart," which marks Olivia Wilde's directorial debut, is an R-rated, gut-busting, practically perfect high-school film that captures Generation Z in a way that movies like "The Breakfast Club" and "Dazed and Confused" did for previous generations. You'll rock to the soundtrack, you'll laugh so hard you'll cry and you'll want to FaceTime your best friend right afterward. Read our ★★★½ review – and you can even watch the first six minutes online. Get thee to "Booksmart"!

If you have no idea what a 'Thanos' is, go to 'Endgame'

Marvel's mighty "Avengers: Endgame" has made bajillions, so chances are, you probably have seen a giant dude punch a giant alien spacecraft, Chris Hemsworth rockin' a dad bod, all sorts of time-travel shenanigans, and a rousing teamup of superheroines. And if you haven't seen it, come on (spoiler alert!) – Chris Evans hoists a magical hammer! Check out our ★★★½ review, and when you're ready, come back for all the spoilers.

The date movie that can't miss is definitely 'Long Shot'

Listen, everyone wants more rom-coms. So go see a good one when it's in theaters! (That will help convince Hollywood to make more.) Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen have undeniable chemistry in the hilarious "Long Shot," which finds Theron playing Charlotte, the powerful, chic Secretary of State who falls for her schlubby, recently fired speechwriter, Fred (Rogen). Think "Pretty Woman," flipped. Read our ★★★½ review.

If the news is just not dark enough for you, see 'Brightburn'

It's a "what if?" scenario many nerds have discussed: What if Superman wasn't really all that super and instead was kind of a jerk? Produced by James Gunn, the superhero horror flick "Brightburn" takes that idea on a very grim and gruesome path. Brandon Breyer (Jackson A. Dunn) is an alien boy who crash-lands on Earth as a baby, is raised by a Kansas farm couple (Elizabeth Banks and David Denman), and discovers he has superpowers as well as one seriously sinister side.

If you want to see Keanu Reeves kill a dude with a book: 'John Wick 3'

"John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum" brings back Reeves' retired-but-now-way-back-in assassin for another action-packed flick. This time, Wick is chased through New York by a legion of hitmen who want to collect a $14 million bounty on his head. Our hero travels to Casablanca to get help, which comes in the form of a fellow killer played by Halle Berry and a couple of dogs who aim for a bad guy's junk first. Read our ★★★ review.

Already! 'John Wick: Chapter 4' is confirmed for 2021

If 'Elisabeth Moss ugly-crying' is your favorite genre: 'Her Smell'

There are so many exceptional indies out in theaters right now, from the quietly devastating period drama "The Souvenir" to the fizzy French literary comedy "Non-Fiction." But our undisputed favorite is Alex Ross Perry's searing punk drama "Her Smell," starring a never-better Elisabeth Moss ("The Handmaid's Tale") as Becky Something, a fictional fading rock star in the erratic throes of addiction. Told in just five extended scenes, the film harrowingly chronicles her mascara-stained, bottle-smashing meltdowns on and off stage, and eventually her emotional recovery.

If you need a 90-minute break with (from?) your kids: 'UglyDolls'

"UglyDolls" isn't going to shake up the animation industry, but it's got a nice message and some seriously peppy songs from Kelly Clarkson, Pitbull and Nick Jonas. If you need a color-saturated time-out from parenting, this one's for you. And catch up with Clarkson, who just moved her family to Los Angeles (a move that shocked all her friends).

If you want Ryan Reynolds to make you laugh, see 'Detective Pikachu'

In "Pokemon: Detective Pikachu," Reynolds stars as his usual funny leading character, but in the form of adorable yellow creature Pikachu. The actor has his signature irreverent charm and dry sense of humor while going on a colorful action-adventure with his human friend Tim (Justice Smith). The result is either bizarre or genius. Maybe both? Read our ★★ review.

If you enjoy a weepy dog tale (or five), try 'A Dog's Journey'

Who doesn't enjoy a good "Old Yeller" cathartic cry over loving and losing a screen pooch? It just shows how much our real pups mean to us. Now multiply that times five as "A Dog's Journey" follows the spirit of its star dog Bailey as he's reincarnated into a new dog, brings joy, and then eventually dies. Syrupy? You could pour it on pancakes. But enjoy and appreciate masterful dog acting that will have Meryl Streep wondering why her dog can only play dead and not act dying.

If you want to see Diane Keaton rule the retirement roost, see 'Poms'

OK, so Diane Keaton isn't actually retirement home age. But she sells the premise pretty well in "Poms," a sweet comedy about a prickly woman who can't help but befriend her new neighbors as they revisit their cheerleading days.

Want to watch two pretty people fall in love? Try 'The Sun Is Also a Star'

Love "Grown-ish?" Obsessed with "Riverdale? Then "The Sun Is Also a Star" is the romance for you. Yara Shahidi and Charles Melton (who respectively star in two of TV's hottest millennial shows) fall for each other in this young-adult adaptation, which finds a pragmatic Jamaican immigrant lured in by a Korean poet just hours before her deportation.

But wait? What about streaming? We've got you.

If you thought 'Black Swan' could've used more cellos, you need to see 'The Perfection'

A brilliant but damaged prodigy at the top of her craft gets usurped by a younger woman and proceeds to spiral into a seemingly jealous rage. No, we're not describing Natalie Portman's ballerina in "Black Swan," but Netflix's twisty, stomach-churning psychological thriller "The Perfection," starring Allison Williams ("Girls") and Logan Browning ("Dear White People") as cello-playing frenemies.

If you're planning a night in with the girls, make it 'Someone Great'

Does making a mimosa/green juice concoction and blasting Lizzo sound like a perfect evening? Then it's time to watch "Someone Great," a Netflix movie wherein Gina Rodriguez's Jenny does just that while grappling with a breakup. The rom-com subverts the typical formula by focusing on female friendship and, well, not ending with an airport chase. Cheers to that!

And if you just want to get tipsy with Tina Fey, 'Wine Country' is for you

No scene is more relatable in "Wine Country," which follows our favorite "Saturday Night Live" lady alums to Napa, than when a sommelier tries to describe the notes of organic wine to Amy Poehler. "Can we speed this up?" she replies. Pour yourself a glass and watch Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch and Ana Gasteyer ring in a ladies' weekend the way we only wish we could. Oh, and then answer: Are you a Tammy or a Val?
