Top Five Movies from 5/9/2014

Just when the studio comedy was looking more and more like a thing of the past, Seth Rogen stepped up his game and brought us his a winner with This is the End in his directorial debut. Now, a summer later his starring vehicle, Neighbors, is the most anticipated comedy since Anchorman 2. Neighbors looks to be a solid comedy. Critics have granted their approval noting that the chemistry shared by Rogen and costar Zac Efron is greater than anyone expected it'd be. Neighbors is the top movie this week and definitely one that everyone needs to see.

The Amazing Spider-man 2 had a huge opening weekend last week but experts aren't expecting it to be nearly as large this weekend. Likely anyone who was excited about the film saw it last weekend as comic fans are rarely ones to wait long to see their heroes on the silver screen. If you have a fleeting interest in Spidey I'd recommend you skip the sequel. If you're bored and looking for something to do, have seen Neighbors already, and haven't seen Spidey 2 go see it!

Let's face it, Mom's Night Out isn't impressing anyone and it won't set the world on fire this weekend, but if you want to escape your life for an hour and half this is as good as any. Critics have been harsh on the mom-com but that doesn't mean there's no light-hearted fun to be had.

The Other Woman is coming to the end of its run in theaters but this weekend is as good a time as any to check it out. Last time I checked it still has Kate Upton in it and unlike the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit catalogs, Kate actually moves around in the film.

Finally, we have Captain America: The Winter Soldier pulling up the rear. Maybe it'll "on your left" The Other Woman next week but for now it's at five.

1. Neighbors
2. The Amazing Spider-Man 2
3. Mom's Night Out
4. The Other Woman
5. Captain America: The Winter Soldier
