Also coming up, but not for kids are the new espionage thriller Tehran and the comic adventure, On The Rocks.

In On The Rocks, a young New York mother faced with sudden doubts about her marriage teams up with her larger-than-life playboy father to tail her husband. Film-maker Sofia Coppola brings a light touch to this blend of an exuberant love letter to New York and a funny celebration of the complications that bind modern families.
