They're ready to split, but can't agree on who would get custody of their beloved dog, Wesley, resorting to court battles, dirty tricks, and hilarious shenanigans.

"Hunt for the Wilderpeople"
Here's one worth taking a chance on, and not just because it's from wonderfully quirky director Taika Waititi, who just finished directing something called "Thor: Ragnarok." This offbeat coming-of-age comedy -- certified fresh with a 98 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes -- is out September 27 on DVD. Jullian Dennison plays a defiant city kid who gets a fresh start in the New Zealand countryside.

Special features include commentary, bloopers, and behind-the-scenes making-of featurettes.

New on Netflix
It's a new month, and you know that means a bunch of things are being added to Netflix as of October 1, and a bunch of things are also leaving. But don't forget about late September, because there are still a couple of major originals premiering this Friday.
"Marvel's Luke Cage" Season 1 (Netflix Original)
"The Imitation Game"
Benedict Cumberbatch plays genius British mathematician Alan Turing, who led the group that cracked the German Enigma Code during World War II, in this historical drama available on Netflix September 28. Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode, Allen Leech, and Charles Dance co-star in the 2014 film, which was nominated for eight Oscars last year, and won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.
"Amanda Knox" (Netflix Original)
As Amanda Knox herself says in the trailer for this new Netflix documentary, "Either I'm a psychopath in sheep's clothing, or I am you." This doc is meant to be the definitive tell-all following the trial, conviction, and acquittal of Knox for the 2007 murder of her former roommate in Italy, Meredith Kercher. According to a Business Insider review, "What 'Amanda Knox' reveals is how crucial mistakes in the handling of the crime scene and a false confession by Knox led to complete dysfunction in the case. But it also shows how journalists became obsessed with Knox." Watch it all play out starting September 30.
TV Worth Watching
"Westworld" (Sunday on HBO at 9 p.m.)
"Criminal Minds" (Wednesday on CBS at 9 p.m.)
This is going to be quite an interesting season. Shemar Moore is gone and -- after the first couple of episodes -- somehow Thomas Gibson's Hotch is going to have to be written out, too. We'll have to wait and see how they handle that. At any rate, Adam Rodriguez is joining the team as Agent Luke Alvez, with Season 12, Episode 1, "The Crimson King," following this new recruit from the FBI's Fugitive Task Force as the team tries to capture a killer who escaped from prison along with 13 other convicts.
"Saturday Night Live" (Saturday on NBC at 11:29 p.m.)
Harley Quinn herself, Margot Robbie, is hosting the Season 42 premiere on October 1, with the Weeknd as musical guest. This season will show the loss of Taran Killam and Jay Pharoah (and Jon Rudnitsky), and the additions of Mikey Day, Alex Moffat, and Melissa Villaseñor. In other news, according to AdvertisingAge, SNL will cut about 30 percent of ads out of the show this season by removing two commercial breaks per episode, making room for more content.
"Frontline's The Choice 2016" (Tuesday on PBS at 9 p.m.)
It's time to get serious again, and PBS's "Frontline" is here to help you get to know the presidential candidates even better. On September 27, two-hour special "The Choice 2016" will present "an interwoven investigative biography of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump that draws on dozens of interviews from those who know the candidates best — friends and family, advisors and adversaries — as well as authors, journalists, and political insiders."
