When Cartel leader Emilia (Karla Sofía Gascón) approaches lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldana) to help her fake her death, she gets one step closer to being able to live her life authentically as the woman she’s always known she’s been.

This coming-of-age comedy is a classic from the ’00s, and it’s ushering its way to Netflix on November 1. A typical high school comedy flick, two outsider students Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) are on the brink of graduation, and the two devise a plan involving booze and girls to go out with a bang.
