10 New Movies to Watch This Weekend on Netflix, Prime Video, and VOD (September 18-20)

In September, Prime Video introduced several new movies that are worth watching. Among them, "The Love Hypothesis" starring Lili Reinhart and Tom Bateman is a notable addition. The film revolves around Olive and Adam, who find themselves in an unexpected situation when Olive pretends to be dating Adam to impress her best friend. However, the fake dating turns into a genuine relationship. This movie is based on the book by Ali Hazelwood and offers a good adaptation.

Another movie to consider is "Chef," directed by Jon Favreau and based on the book by Adam Jones. The story follows Carl Casper, a chef who quits his job at a popular restaurant and opens a food truck. Along the journey, he reconnects with his son, mends his relationship with his ex-wife, and discovers his true culinary passion. The film is a heartwarming and nostalgic watch.

"The Edge of Seventeen," featuring Hailee Steinfeld, Haley Lu Richardson, and Woody Harrelson, is also a great addition to the list. The movie delves into the challenges of teenage years, where a girl named Nadine struggles with her best friend's romantic relationship with her brother. Nadine turns to her strict teacher for support, making this a compelling coming-of-age film with a strong cast.
