Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Mickey 17 is worth clearing space for. The jokes in Mickey 17 land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. Unlikely hero Mickey Barnes finds himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living. The chemistry Robert Pattinson and Naomi Ackie bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It hit screens in 2025. Mickey 17 earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Mickey 17 respects your intelligence. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Robert Pattinson anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
