Can’t decide what to see this weekend?

Bowling Green Daily News film critic Micheal Compton is here to tell you the best – and worst – now playing at your local cineplex.

A Bad Mom’s Christmas (C-)

This sequel abandons the formula that made the original a pleasant surprise and replaces it with a rather cliched holiday tale that introduces the mothers to the mix. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)

Coco (B)

PIXAR’s latest is a visual marvel, with a strong message about the importance of family. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)

Daddy’s Home 2 (C)

It’s been a mere eight days since the latest family Christmas gone wrong sequel “A Bad Mom’s Christmas,” yet here we are again in the same territory with “Daddy’s Home 2.”

The sequel to the surprise 2015 holiday hit that reunites Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg is more of the same, with most of the laughs already seen in the ads. There is probably enough for fans of the original, but if – like me – you didn’t find the first film nearly as charming as everyone else, even the additions of Mel Gibson and John Lithgow can’t raise the bar. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall 10, Highland Cinemas)

Geostorm (D+)

A ridiculous disaster movie where the plot gets even goofier and goofier as it progresses. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

It (B+)

The latest adaptation of the Stephen King novel draws strength from its strong young cast – especially Sophia Willis, with a star-making type of a performance that reminded me of Natalie Portman in “The Professional” and Kirsten Dunst in “Interview With the Vampire.” (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Jigsaw (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Justice League (B)

Continuing DC’s momentum from “Wonder Woman,” “Justice League” is a breezy, fun extension of “Batman vs. Superman” that finally feels like the event superhero movie that DC has tried to concoct since “Man of Steel.” It isn’t quite up to the same level as “Wonder Woman,” but it is still a pleasant surprise and is easier to defend than “Batman vs. Superman” or “Man of Steel.” (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)

Just Getting Started (not reviewed at this time)

(Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Lady Bird (A)

You don’t have to be from California or have grown up in the early 2000s to appreciate “Lady Bird,” the beautiful new film from Greta Gerwig.

The indie darling wrote and directed this semi-autobiographical film that should ring true with almost every audience member. It’s a personal story, but also a coming-of-age tale that anyone can identify with, at least in part. Gerwig handles it with extreme confidence, and it doesn’t hurt to have a strong cast anchored by a pair of actresses who probably have Oscar nominations in their futures. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Murder on the Orient Express (B-)

A solid adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel that gets the most from its all-star cast. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10)

Roman J. Israel Esq. (C-)

Despite the best efforts of Denzel Washington, the latest from Dan Gilroy slugs along at a sloth-like pace – wasting Washington’s performance and an intriguing premise. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

The Star (C)

A rather pedestrian animated film about the birth of Jesus told from the perspective of talking animals. It’s harmless enough, but lacks the same kind of magic that helps the other animated film now in wide release “Coco.” (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

Thor: Ragnarok (A-)

The third solo film for the Norse God is easily the best of the three films, aided by a clever script that gives the title character a lighter side and the watchful eye of director Taika Waititi. As Marvel Universe films go, this is one of the lightest – but also one of the funniest. (Regal Greenwood Mall Stadium 10, Highland Cinemas)

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri (B-)

The latest from writer/director Martin McDonagh – the man behind “In Bruges” and “Seven Psychopaths” – features moments of profound emotional impact but also struggles with jarring tonal shifts that nearly undermine the film’s power. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12)

Wonder (B)

This story of a young boy with a deformity who goes to school for the first time is a must for all school age children with its strong message about the effects of bullying. (Regal Bowling Green Stadium 12, Highland Cinemas)
