Trainwreck stars Amy Schumer in a romantic comedy about magazine writer Amy (played by Amy Schumer), whose father drilled it into her head that monogamy is not realistic.

While writing a profile about the charming and successful sports doctor, Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), she finds herself actually falling in love for the first time – and what’s more, Aaron seems to like her too.

Paper Towns starring Cara Delevingne and Nat Wolff is a coming-of-age story that centres around Quentin (Nat Wolff) and his enigmatic neighbour, Margo (Cara Delevigne), who loved mysteries so much she became one.
After taking him on an all-night adventure through their hometown, Margo suddenly disappears — leaving behind cryptic clues for Quentin to decipher.
The search leads Quentin and his quick-witted friends on an exhilarating adventure that is in equal parts both hilarious and moving. Ultimately, to track down Margo, Quentin must find a deeper understanding of what true friendship – and true love – really are.
Mistress America starring Greta Gerwig and Lola Kirke opens in cinemas on 4 September. Tracy (Lola Kirke) is a lonely college freshman in New York. She is rescued from her solitude by her soon-to-be stepsister Brooke (Greta Gerwig), an adventurous girl about town who entangles Tracy in alluringly mad schemes.
This film is a comedy about dream-chasing, score-settling, makeshift families, and cat-stealing.
Ricki & the Flash stars Meryl Streep as Ricki, an aging rock star who abandons her family to chase fame and stardom. The sacrifice delivers the stardom she craves, but costs her a relationship with her family.
After years of rocking with her band, The Flash, her life is interrupted by a call from her ex-husband (Kevin Kline). She discovers their estranged daughter (Mamie Gummer) is going through a tough situation and decides to head back home.
Given the opportunity to reconcile and make things right, Ricki must again choose between the music she loves and the family she has lost.
