4 New Movies Streaming in June You Won’t Want To Miss

Considering some heavy things going on in the world, this month’s installment of 4 New Movies Streaming comes with a mix of inspiration, levity, heartfelt moments, and feel-good vibes that may seem a bit needed at the moment. Keep reading for four upcoming titles to anticipate that promise a brief respite from the weight of the world, which will hopefully leave you recharged and ready to keep fighting the good fight for positive change.

Hustle

It may come as no surprise that a film produced by LeBron James and Adam Sandler centers on basketball. Sandler stars in Hustle as Stanley Sugerman, a down-on-his-luck scout for the Philadelphia 76ers who discovers a once-in-a-lifetime player named Bo Cruz (played by real-life Spanish NBA player Juancho Hernangómez) while abroad. Stanley brings the Spanish streetballer back to the States without the team’s approval, hinging his career on Bo making it in the NBA while also trying to be more present in his family’s lives. Queen Latifah plays Stanley’s wife Teresa, and Jordan Hull portrays the on-screen couple’s young daughter. You can also anticipate watching Ben Foster and Robert Duvall portray 76ers team executives. Plus, keep an eye out for a performance from former NBA player and current sportscaster Kenny Smith when Netflix releases Hustle on June 8. And its trailer hints that you may just finish the film feeling a little bit inspired.

Father of the Bride

Come June 16, there’s going to be a new father of the bride in town. Whether you’re a fan of Spencer Tracy’s portrayal of the title character in the original 1950 film or Steve Martin’s performance in Nancy Meyer’s 1991 remake, you can anticipate watching Andy Garcia take up the mantle of playing one frazzled dad. He and Gloria Estefan star as the respective father and mother of the bride-to-be in the most recent iteration of Father of the Bride, which comes with a new twist. Billy (Garcia) and Ingrid (Estefan) want to divorce but are trying to keep that a secret until after their daughter’s nuptials. This setup — plus Billy’s issues with the wedding — results in ample punchlines in the film’s trailer alone. Fans of the previous iterations of Father of the Bride can also look forward to seeing Adria Arjona’s performance as Sofia and her take on the bride-to-be character that Elizabeth Taylor originally portrayed on screen and Kimberly Williams-Paisley played last. Also watch out for Diego Boneta as Sofia’s fiancé Adan and Pedro Damián as the father of the groom when Father of the Bride premieres on HBO Max.

Cha Cha Real Smooth

Cooper Raiff wrote, directed, and starred in the indie picture Apple TV+ describes as a “tale of unconventional love that brims with emotional honesty.” The streamer acquired Cha Cha Real Smooth following its premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the U.S. Dramatic Audience Award. In the film, Raiff plays Andrew, a recent college graduate who’s back living at home with his family in New Jersey while he figures out his next steps. The 22-year-old picks up a job as a “party-starter” for the bar and bat mitzvahs of his younger brother’s classmates, which involves motivational dancing to get the kids on the dance floor. During one such event, Andrew befriends a single mother named Domino (Dakota Johnson) and her daughter Lola (Vanessa Burghardt), which leads him to realize the future he really wants. The film’s trailer teases some heartfelt moments along the way, as well as performances from names like Brad Garrett and Leslie Mann. Also, be on the lookout for newcomer Evan Assante’s performance as Andrew’s younger brother David when Apple TV+ releases Cha Cha Real Smooth on June 17.

Jerry & Marge Go Large

Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening respectively star as the title characters in Jerry & Marge Go Large, an upcoming Paramount+ original. Its trailer suggests some serious feel-good vibes from the film inspired by an incredible true story about Midwestern retiree Jerry Selbee (Cranston) and his wife Marge (Bening) adopting a go-big-or-go-home attitude after finding a mathematical loophole in the Massachusetts lottery. The two become self-described “professional lottery players” as they put it all on the line to help revive their small Michigan community. Jerry & Marge Go Large premieres on Paramount+ on June 17, at which time you can also take in performances from names like Rainn Wilson, Larry Wilmore, and Anna Camp.

So, whether you’re looking for a film that will leave you feeling hopeful or just provide some much-needed levity, we’ve got you covered with our top picks of new movies streaming in June.
