This week in theaters it's mostly fun and games. The "Deadpool" movie drops into theaters with a potent dose of R-rated superhero comedy, but for those seeking more family-friendly fun there's also Ben Stiller's "Zoolander 2". And, for those in the mood for a romantic comedy, Warner Bros. offers "How to Be Single" starring Dakota Johnson, Rebel Wilson, Leslie Mann and Alison Brie. In limited release you can check out Michael Moore's new and predictably controversial documentary "Where to Invade Next". More about each movie after the jump.
