Kelly R said:  The Mighty Ducks is one of the few 90s movies for kids that has made it into our family movie night rotation more than once over the years.

Nostalgic 90s summer camp movie about a camp for overweight kids that's taken over by a fitness fanatic.

Enchanted playfully blends fairytale tropes with real-world New York as an animated princess is magically transported to the city and falls for a cynical divorce lawyer with a daughter. Hilarity (and a seriously delightful soundtrack) ensue in this family-friendly romantic comedy.

Alexandra F. said:  This is a truly enjoyable movie for tweens, teens, young kids and adults alike, with music you will be humming long after the film is over. A unique spin on the classic fairy tale throws a soon-to-be princess into the "real world" in NYC, where her upbeat and optimistic worldview both clashes with and inspires those around her. Tweens will especially enjoy the tongue-in-cheek humor that intentionally flips the traditional princess story on its head.

A mom and dad who are used to saying no decide to give their three kids a "Yes Day," where for 24 hours the children get to make the rules.

Vanessa M. said:  The Netflix original movie Yes Day is the perfect film for your next family movie night. Starring Jennifer Garner as the mom who always says no, she and her husband are challenged to give their children a yes day - a whole day where kids are in charge! This movie received thumbs up from parents and kids alike, and also inspired us to have our own yes day!

In the seemingly perfect world of Barbie Land, Stereotypical Barbie begins to question her existence, leading her (and Ken) on an unexpected journey of self-discovery in the real world.

Kelly R said:  I haven't laughed this much at a movie in years. We went with a group of middle schoolers and parents and had the best time.

Kristy Pepping said:  Great movie! We just showed this to our girls and they loved it.

Kids will get a kick out of seeing a funny spin on classic characters like the three little pigs and the gingerbread man in this irreverent modern fairytale for kids.

Kristy Pepping said:  When mom heads back to work, dad becomes a stay-at-home dad who knows nothing about school drop off, baths or the labor-intensive stay-at-home caretaker role. It's a funny 80s family movie that everyone will enjoy!

Vanessa M. said:  Bill Murray stars in this classic film that will have your whole family in stitches. When Dr. Leo Marvin wants to enjoy a relaxing vacation with his family, his lovable but troubled patient, Bob Wiley, follows him, wheedles his way into his family, and ultimately drives Dr. Marvin off the deep end!

When a supervillain adopts three orphaned girls as part of a nefarious plan, he unexpectedly finds himself becoming a loving father figure and discovers that maybe he's not so evil after all. It's one of the best family movies because it's funny for all ages, but has plenty of comedy aimed at parents, too.

The new night watchman at the Museum of Natural History is surprised to find that the exhibits come to life after sunset.

Kelly R said:  My family has watched this for family movie night more than once! It's exciting, funny and entertaining for the whole family without being totally cheesy, and the language and violence are pretty mild.

A warm-hearted and funny 80s movie about a family that hits a bigfoot with their car, brings him home, and discovers that he isn't dead after all.

Kelly R said:  My kids loved it, we loved the nostalgia of seeing it again after so many years, and it has great lessons about not judging others by appearances. Plus, the usual genius from John Lithgow!

Things just keep getting worse for Alexander and his family in this funny family comedy that hits home with kids and parents.
