Streaming movie fans are eating well this month. And we're not just talking about the scrumptious-looking Italian vittles cooked up in "Nonnas," a perfect movie for Mother's Day weekend.
The Vince Vaughn Netflix dramedy leads a bunch of new flicks in May that have arrived on your favorite streaming services, from Hulu and Amazon's Prime Video to Peacock and Max. There are theatrical releases finally coming home, including a romantic slasher and a Ke Huy Quan action comedy, if you like to celebrate Valentine's Day all year round. Don't sleep on the original fare, though, such as an Anna Kendrick/Blake Lively sequel and a teen sex comedy starring "Saturday Night Live" regular Chloe Fineman.
Here are 10 notable new movies you can stream right now:
'Adult Best Friends'
Director Delaney Buffett co-writes and co-stars with Katie Corwin in the indie comedy about two childhood best friends who have their codependence tested. When one gets engaged to her masseuse boyfriend (Mason Gooding), she plans on springing the news on the other during a nostalgic beach trip that goes cringingly off the rails.

'Another Simple Favor'
In Paul Feig's dark comedy mystery sequel, crime-solving mommy vlogger Stephanie (Anna Kendrick) is shocked when fresh-out-of-jail frenemy Emily (Blake Lively) invites her to be maid of honor at her wedding in Capri. Assorted shenanigans ensue involving Italian mob families, shady relatives, bloody murders and cold martinis.
Where to watch: Prime Video
'Black Bag'
Steven Soderbergh's whodunit twist on the spy thriller is a bit of a must-see. Michael Fassbender plays a British intelligence officer tasked with finding who leaked a top-secret software program and betrayed their country, and the list of five potentially traitorous suspects includes his own high-profile wife (Cate Blanchett).
Where to watch: Peacock
'The Damned'
In the freaky psychological horror tale, a 19th-century widow (Odessa Young) heads up a remote fishing village in the Arctic. Her crew comes across a shipwreck and morally wrestles with saving the survivors or leaving them to die and conserve their own depleting supplies, and a dark folkloric creature rises in the aftermath.
Where to watch: Hulu
'The End'
Need something strange? How about an ambitious post-apocalyptic musical? Tilda Swinton and Michael Shannon play the mom and dad of a wealthy family holed up in a posh bunker in a salt mine, George MacKay plays their son who yearns to know about the inhospitable outside world, and Moses Ingram is the stranger who changes everything.
Where to watch: Hulu
'Heart Eyes'
The horror rom-com juggles the many tropes of both its genres, but this gory slasher romp also boasts an impressive mean streak, entertaining leads and an excellent hook. A masked psycho hits up a new big city to gut couples every Valentine's Day, and this time targets Seattle co-workers (Olivia Holt and Mason Gooding) mistaken for lovers.
Where to watch: Netflix
'Love Hurts'
Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan snags his first leading role in the action comedy. He plays a good-natured realtor and ex-hitman whose past comes flying back in his face – as do a lot of punches – when the lawyer (Ariana DeBose) he was supposed to kill years ago returns to town. (He also harbors strong feelings for her, though she doesn't know it.)
Where to watch: Peacock
'Nickel Boys'
Director RaMell Ross' innovative, Oscar-nominated drama tells its riveting tale from the first-person vantage of its two young protagonists. In 1960s Jim Crow Florida, Black teenager Elwood (Ethan Herisse) is unjustly convicted of car theft and sent to reform school, where he faces abuse and corruption alongside a fellow student (Brandon Wilson).
Where to watch: Prime Video
'Nonnas'
Vince Vaughn trades the broad comedy for something sweeter and more heartfelt with this dramedy, based on a true story. He stars as a Brooklyn MTA worker who, after the death of his beloved mom, uses the life insurance money to open a restaurant in her honor where the chefs are Italian grandmas who can cook like a kitchen on fire.

'Summer of 69'
In Jillian Bell's directorial debut, high school senior Abby (Sam Morelos) finds out that her crush (Matt Cornett) prefers a certain sexual position. To master it – even though she's totally inexperienced – Abby enlists exotic dancer Santa Monica (Chloe Fineman) to be her "sexual fairy godmother" in the coming-of-age comedy.
