This weekend, three very different movies hit the big screen: “21 and Over” is the latest offering from the writers of “The Hangover.” “Jack the Giant Slayer” is a modern-retelling of “Jack and the Beanstalk.” And “Phantom” is a Cold War thriller.
The Movie Date team, Rafer Guzman and Kristen Meinzer, weigh in. In addition to co-hosting the Movie Date podcast, Rafer is film critic for Newsday and Kristen is culture producer for The Takeaway.
