Directed by Mike Nichols and written by Neil Simon from his own play, Matthew Broderick plays Eugene as he's drafted into the Army during World War II and goes to Biloxi, Mississippi, for basic training.

"Idiocracy" (Available August 1)
Mike Judge's "Idiocracy."

This Mike Judge comedy, which was panned when it first came out in 2006, has gained a cult following ever since.
In "Idiocracy," Joe (Luke Wilson) wakes up after being frozen for 500 years and finds the world is run by corporations and dimwitted people. You might be surprised by how much it looks like our current world today.

Writer-director Taika Waititi won a best screenwriting Oscar for this wicked satire set during World War II.

"Serendipity" (Available August 1)
Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack in "Serendipity."

"An American Pickle" (Available August 6)
Seth Rogen in "An American Pickle."
HBO Max
The first-ever movie exclusively released on the HBO Max service is a silly comedy starring Seth Rogen as two characters. He's Herschel, an immigrant who in 1920 falls into a vat of pickles and, thanks to the brine, is preserved for 100 years. He's also Ben, the surviving relative who takes in Herschel.
Things don't go well as the two butt heads, leading to a hilarious rivalry.
