What to watch in theaters and at home this weekend May 5-7, 2023

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — I have a feeling that most people this weekend will be deciding between going to the theater to see "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" or staying home to watch Netflix's "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story." Some of you will even do both. Yesterday was Star Wars Day, so, you also have the second season of animated shorts with "Star Wars: Visions Volume 2" and the toddler centric "Young Jedi Adventures." Lilly James fans might want to track down her new romantic comedy "What's Love Got to Do With It?"

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Studio Synopsis:PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, strong language, suggestive/drug references and thematic elements
Starring:Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Vin Diesel, Bradely Cooper, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff
Genre:Action, Adventure, Comedy
Rated:PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, strong language, suggestive/drug references and thematic elements
Reaction: Despite some tonal inconsistencies and a run time that should have been 20 minute shorter, this is the most rewarding Marvel film since "Endgame." Go see it. [Full Review]

What's Love Got to Do With It?

Studio Synopsis: How do you find lasting love in today’s world? For documentary-maker and dating app addict Zoe (Lily James), swiping right has only delivered an endless stream of Mr. Wrongs, to her eccentric mother Cath’s (Emma Thompson) dismay.

As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger, chosen by his parents, she begins to wonder if she might have something to learn from a profoundly different approach to finding love.
