Booksmart

Two academic teenage superstars realize, on the eve of their high school graduation, that they should have worked less and played more. Determined to never fall short of their peers, the girls set out on a mission to cram four years of fun into one night.

Set to be released on Friday, May 24, "Booksmart" already has a Tomatometer Score of 99 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Tribune News Service's Katie Walsh said, "Olivia Wilde comes out swinging with not only one of the best movies of the year, but one of the best high school movies of all time," while Leah Greenblatt of Entertainment Weekly noted, "If the storyline doesn't so much unfold as burst out in glittery puffs — and if music cues seem to make up about 40 percent of the plot — it's still an endearing kind of chaos."

It's screening at Cinemark Tinseltown and XD (6001 Martin Luther King Blvd.), B&B Theatres Oklahoma City Windsor 10 (4623 A. N.W. 23rd St.), AMC Quail Springs Mall 24 (2501 W. Memorial Road, Suite E), and AMC Penn Square 10 (1901 N.W. Expressway) through Wednesday, May 29. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Avengers: Endgame

After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War, the universe is in ruins due to the efforts of the Mad Titan, Thanos. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers must assemble once more in order to undo Thanos' actions and restore order to the universe once and for all, no matter what consequences may be in store.

With a Tomatometer Score of 94 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Avengers: Endgame" has garnered plenty of praise since its release on April 26.

"What you will be getting when you walk into an inevitably overstuffed movie theater is something singular that reflects our age in a way that none of the MCU films that preceded it have-indeed, very few Hollywood spectacles ever have," according to Oliver Jones of the Observer, while the San Diego Reader's Matthew Lickona said, "The MCU will go on and on, but this chapter — and the American pragmatism vs. American ideals bromance that drove it — have well and truly come to their 'Excelsior! Nuff said!' moment."

It's playing at Cinemark Tinseltown and XD (6001 Martin Luther King Blvd.) through Wednesday, May 29 and B&B Theatres Oklahoma City Windsor 10 (4623 A. N.W. 23rd St.) through Wednesday, May 29. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Long Shot

When Fred Flarsky reunites with his first crush, one of the most influential women in the world, Charlotte Field, he charms her. As she prepares to make a run for the Presidency, Charlotte hires Fred as her speechwriter and sparks fly.

With a Tomatometer Score of 80 percent and an Audience Score of 70 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Long Shot" has proved a solid option since its release on May 3.

"Clearly, Theron can turn her hand to any genre," noted Anthony Lane of the New Yorker, while Tribune News Service's Katie Walsh said, "It's 'Veep,' but less absurdly acid-tongued, and a lot more swoony. Still, the incisive cultural and political commentary cuts deep, and Theron and Rogen turn out to be a winning pair."

It's screening at Cinemark Tinseltown and XD (6001 Martin Luther King Blvd.) through Wednesday, May 29. Click here for showtimes and tickets.

Brightburn

A child from another world crash-lands on Earth, but instead of becoming a hero to mankind, he is an evil little boy.

Set to be released on Friday, May 24, "Brightburn" already has a Tomatometer Score of 63 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. HeyUGuys's Daniel Goodwin said, "Creepy, gory, awesome fun that's also smart, scary, subversive and massively entertaining," and Flickering Myth's Caillou Pettis noted, "Brightburn is a thrilling and delightfully creepy experience with lots of fun to be had, but often lacks in the department of character development and world-building."

Pokémon Detective Pikachu

In a world where people collect pocket-size monsters (Pokémon) to do battle, a boy comes across an intelligent monster who seeks to be a detective.

With a Tomatometer Score of 66 percent and an Audience Score of 82 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, "Pokémon Detective Pikachu" is well worth a watch. The Globe and Mail's Daniel Kaszor said, "Detective Pikachu is unrelentingly weird," while Vincent Acovino of NPR stated, "There's something admirable about a film that isn't afraid to have some fun with a property so established — and beloved — by its core audience."

You can catch it at AMC Classic Crossroads 16 (1211 E. Interstate 240) through Saturday, May 25; Cinemark Tinseltown and XD (6001 Martin Luther King Blvd.) through Wednesday, May 29; B&B Theatres Oklahoma City Windsor 10 (4623 A.
