If you’re headed to the theater this weekend, here’s a look at what’s playing with The Film Yap’s Christopher Lloyd!• The Secret Life of Pets

Quirky writer/director Todd Solandz (“Welcome to the Dollhouse”) offers this tale of a dachshund who passes from owner to owner, all of them plagued by dysfunction that is oddly impacted by the dog’s arrival.”
• The Music of Strangers: Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble
Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble – This documentary follows celebrated cellist Yo-Yo Ma as he launches the Silk Road Project, bringing together musicians from all over the world.”
• Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates
Two wild and crazy guys need respectable dates for a big family wedding in Hawaii, but instead they pick a pair of off-the-wall vamps in whose hands they are putty.”
• I Saw the Light – Stream It
Tom Hiddleston shines in this by-the-numbers biopic of country music legend Hank Williams, though the story rambles. Stream It.”
