While all friends differ – a workaholic, post-op recovery, homebody, worn out mum – what they do have in common is the yearning to relax and reconnect over a glass (or more) of wine! But as drinks flow, real-world uncertainties bring the party crashing down, and the women begin questioning their friendships. This movie is the perfect weekend chick flick that has a hint of sweetness and a dash of acidity with a well-balanced finish.

Where to find it: All episodes now streaming on Stan*.
The wrap up: Based on Joseph Heller’s seminal novel of the same name, Catch-22 is the story of the incomparable, artful dodger, Yossarian, a US Air Force bombardier in World War II who is furious because thousands of people he has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy, but rather his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid his military assignments, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specifies that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relieved from duty.
