Invited to his first kissing party, 12 year old Max (Jacob
Tremblay) asks his best friends Lucas (Keith
L. Williams) and Thor (Brady Noon) for
some much needed help on how to pucker up. When they hit
a dead end, Max decides to use his father's drone to spy
on the teenage girls next door. When the boys lose the
drone, they skip school and hatch a plan to retrieve it
before Max's dad can figure out what happened.

Avengers: Endgame
Endgame follows directly on the tail end of the shocking events of Avengers:
Infinity War. A genocidal maniac known as Thanos has acquired a magical
gauntlet lending him unlimited power and used it to destroy half of the galactic
population with a snap of his fingers. Half of the world's superheroes are dead,
and it's now up to those who remain to bring the fight back to Thanos and
hopefully reverse the destruction he's brought to the universe. Fortunately for
the world, the original Avengers are all still alive, and Captain America
gathers them together with some newer friends in a bold effort to stop Thanos.
