Maybe I Do (Available March 12)

• The Plot: This romantic comedy features an incredible cast (Diane Keaton, Richard Gere, Susan Sarandon, and William H. Macy). It follows a couple who decide to invite their parents to finally meet to take their relationship to the next level—only to find out the parents already know each other very well. It’s lighthearted and great for a low-stress evening.

The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (Modern Classic)
