New in Theaters: “Asteroid City” and “No Hard Feelings”

1.  “Asteroid City“  (PG-13)  Trailer

It’s a sci-fi romantic comedy-drama by Wes Anderson that takes place in a retro-futuristic version of 1955.

It follows a writer and his world-famous fictional play about a grieving father who travels with his tech-obsessed family to a Junior Stargazer convention in the rural Asteroid City, where UFO events occur.  It simultaneously depicts the play and the creation of the play.

Its star-studded cast includes Scarlett Johansson, Jason Schwartzman, Tom Hanks, Jeff Goldblum, Margot Robbie, Steve Carell, Edward Norton, Tilda Swinton, Adrien Brody, and Bryan Cranston.

2.  “No Hard Feelings“  (R)

Jennifer Lawrence responds to a job listing from parents asking for someone to bring their introverted 19-year-old son out of his shell during the summer before college, in exchange for a car.

Matthew Broderick and Broadway actress Laura Benanti are his parents.  And the lucky guy is played by a relatively unknown actor named Andrew Barth Feldman.
