NEW MOVIES TO STREAM
— Snoop Dogg stars as a washed-up professional football player ordered to perform community service after crashing his car in “The Underdoggs,” streaming Friday, Jan. 26, on Amazon Prime Video. In the R-rated comedy, Snoop Dogg’s character is sentenced to coach a youth football team. Though the set-up cribs from many sports movies before it, “Underdoggs” has some true-life connections for its star. In 2005, Snoop Dogg founded the nonprofit Snoop Youth Football League.
— Nicole Holofcener has long been a master of mining nagging neuroses for comedy, and “You Hurt My Feelings” (streaming Friday, Jan. 26 on Paramount+) finds the writer-director in top form. Julia Louis-Dreyfus stars as a writer who overhears her otherwise loving husband (Tobias Menzies) criticizing her latest book. That’s just one of the threads Holofcener pulls at in her very funny, very melancholy examination of how white lies prop up our marriages, relationships and self-images. In my review last year, I praised Holofcener as “brilliant in finding the major heartache in minor slights.”
