Spring is finally here, and honestly, what better way to spend a chill night (or weekend) than watching some awesome new movies? Whether youāre into sci-fi, scary stuff, or cheesy rom-coms (no shame), April’s movie lineup is actually kinda stacked. Here’s a quick list of the best ones to check out this month:
1. “The Astral Divide”
Release Date: April 5
Where to Watch: In theaters
This oneās a wild sci-fi ride with alternate dimensions, crazy visuals, and a cast that totally deliversāJohn Boyega and Florence Pugh? Yes please. It’s trippy but in the best way, and perfect if youāre into stories that mess with your head a little. Its also perfect for a movie night with friends if you’re struggling to find what to watch.
2.“How to Train Your Dragon: Return of the Riders”
Release Date: April 12
Where to Watch: Theaters + Peacock
Nostalgia alert! Hiccup and Toothless are back, and itās giving all the feels. Itās super cute, has epic dragon scenes, and honestly just hits right if you grew up loving the OG movies.
3. “Donāt Date the Wedding Planner”
Release Date: April 10
Where to Watch: Netflix
This is for all my rom-com fans out there. Itās funny, kind of chaotic, and adorable. Itās about a divorce lawyer who falls for a wedding planner (I know, kinda cliche but who doesn’t love a little cliche here and there”
4.“Wish Upon a Starling”
Release Date: April 17
Where to Watch: Disney+
This oneās a magical fantasy-adventure about a girl who finds a talking bird that grants one wish a day… but thereās a catch (of course š
). Super fun, kind of emotional, and the animation is gorgeous. Great if you’re into fairy tale vibes with a modern twist.
5.“Win or Lose”
Release Date: April 19
Where to Watch: Disney+
“Win or Lose” follows a middle school co-ed softball team called the Pickles (yes, really š) during the week leading up to their big championship game. The twist? Each episode shows the same weekābut through a different playerās eyes. So you get totally different vibes, emotions, and POVs every time. Itās funny, sweet, sometimes a little deep, and super clever with how it tells the story. Some people are feeling iffy about the animation but personally, I think it’s very cute and fits the storyline very well!
Aprilās movie game is looking really good, so whether you’re going out with friends, chilling solo, or having a movie night at home, there’s something worth watching. Grab some snacks, get comfy, and hit play.
