Now that spooky season is over, Mariah Carey isn't the only thing back in a big way. Here come the holiday movies on your streaming services.
Lucy Hale needs a yuletide boyfriend in "12 Dates of Christmas" on Hulu while Dennis Quaid costars with pooches in "A Dog's Perfect Christmas" on Netflix. There's plenty for those easing their way into the most wonderful time of the year, too: Andrew Garfield leads a revolution in historical drama "The Uprising," while the Broken Lizard guys are back for comedy threequel "Super Troopers 3."
Sacha Baron Cohen directs and stars in the mockumentary that brings back his doo-rag-wearing, hip-hop nitwit from the 2000s "Da Ali G Show." Ali is back on his cultural-appropriation tilt and also has a bundle of joy on the way, as he finds out his girlfriend Julie (Morgana Robinson) is eight months pregnant.
The scrappy “Bonnie and Clyde”-like crime drama stars Samara Weaving as Caroline, a Texas gas-station worker who hits the road for criminal dealings with con man Oliver (Kyle Gallner). Small-time thievery followed by bank robberies gets her adrenaline going but weighs on her morally when their spree turns bloody.
Dennis Quaid headlines this heartwarming holiday film about love, loss and lovable canines. Quaid plays a grieving grandpa and Brooke Lena Johnson plays his granddaughter as the family navigates new romance and a medical emergency with the help of an aging basset hound and a stray corgi puppy.
Olivia Wilde's best directorial effort is still "Booksmart" but this one is close. She also stars in the clever comedy with Seth Rogen as a couple in a passionless marriage whose relationship is shaken up by an alluring proposition from their neighbors (Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz) at an impromptu dinner party.
Naturally, high jinks are afoot with the return of the Minions. But this latest animated comedy is also a love letter to old-school Hollywood classics and creature features. The little yellow dudes take Tinseltown by storm in the 1920s and use a magic book to conjure an elder god and other weird beasts for their monster movie.
The original 2016 animated musical adventure is a buoyant voyage beyond the reef, and this slightly darker live-action remake (safely) runs it all back. Australian newcomer Catherine Lagaʻaia is the empowering teen wayfinder who sets sail with shapeshifting demigod Maui (played again by Dwayne Johnson, embracing his inner Fabio).
In the Korean drama, Ho-seok (Sul Kyung-gu) is laid off from his job after a violent worker's strike. When he and his wife Mi-ok (Jeon Do-yeon) are approached by a documentary filmmaker (Cho Yeo-jeong) and her spouse (Zo In-sung) about a movie, it leads to both couples questioning their lives and embracing their inner desires.
The goofy Vermont highway cops are back for a third over-the-top police spoof. Thorny (Jay Chandrasekhar) tries to break up the Indian wedding of his sister and his obnoxious coworker Farva (Kevin Heffernan), while the guys also welcome a new rookie ("SNL" regular Andrew Dismukes) and have to bust up a drug ring.
Lucy Hale stars in the holiday rom-com as Christina, a furniture shop owner who, after pledging to come to her family's Christmas dinner with a boyfriend, embarks on 12 dates in 12 weeks to find one. Hale's old "Pretty Little Liars" costar Ian Harding plays Peter, a classmate back in town who might just be Christina's Mr. Right.
In the historical drama based on England's 1381 Peasants’ Revolt, Garfield stars as Ploughman, a farmer who lost his family to the Black Death and then loses it on some tax collectors. He violently fights back and becomes a symbol for thousands who march on London against unstable teenage King Richard II (Woody Norman).
