New Movie Releases: ‘Chimpanzee,’ ‘The Lucky One,’ ‘Darling Companion,’ ‘Think Like a Man’

The Takeaway

Friday has come again, which means another movie weekend is upon us. Today’s releases feature such sure-fire blockbusters as the new Zac Efron vehicle “The Lucky One” and Disney’s latest live-action nature documentary “Chimpanzee,” as well as the long-awaited “Darling Companion,” which reunites many of the people we first came to love in “The Big Chill.” But, to many’s surprise, the biggest hit of them all may turn out to be “Think Like a Man,” a romantic comedy based on a novel by Steve Harvey. Rafer Guzman  and  Kristen Meinzer  take to their critical perch as our intrepid Movie Date team. In addition to hosting the podcast, Rafer is film critic for Newsday and Kristen is the culture producer for The Takeaway.
