Also among the streaming offerings worth your time as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: Director Robert Zemeckis' "Here" with Tom Hanks, Sterling Brown returns to TV as a Secret Service agent and there's a sequel to "Citizen Sleeper," the surprise gaming hit of 2022.
Rival weddings collide in "You're Cordially Invited," a comedy about double-booked destination nuptials starring Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell. The film, streaming Jan. 30 on Prime Video, unites a pair of stars from different realms of comedy in Witherspoon, who's planning a wedding for her sister (Meredith Hagner), and Ferrell, whose daughter (Geraldine Viswanathan) is getting married. In the Nicholas Stoller-directed movie, the two families share a Georgia island wedding venue.
Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson star in Halina Reijn's "Babygirl" (on premium video-on-demand beginning Tuesday), a kinky and darkly comic erotic thriller from A24.
Kidman stars as a married Manhattan chief executive who falls under the intense sway of a new intern (Dickinson), leading to some memorable sex games of manipulation and control.
In my review, I praised "Babygirl" as "a sometimes campy, frequently entertaining modern update to the erotically charged movies of the 1990s, like 'Basic Instinct' and '9 1/2 Weeks.'" Robert Zemeckis' "Here" has already lived many lives since opening in theaters last October. It was roundly dismissed by critics at release, only to continue to pick up defenders as the year came to a close. "Here" gets a second chance Thursday on Netflix.
