The LEGO Ninjago Movie
This latest LEGO tale still feels, uh, apiece with the plastic-block cinematic universe we’ve come to know so well.
Leap!
Leap! tells a story that feels like so many others we’ve seen before. (Especially from Disney.) But its familiarity doesn’t diminish its charm.
All Saints
How does God move us to embrace His purpose for our lives?
The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature
This sequel’s emphasis on hard work and working as a team could give moms and dads something substantive to discuss with their kids.
Descendants 2
Disney Channel’s second film in this franchise again dives into to surprisingly significant themes involving love and acceptance.
Cars 3
Cars 3 hotfoots it back to the raceway to deliver a story similar to Lightning McQueen’s first one—this time from a different track position.
Smurfs: The Lost Village
Frankly, the Smurfs: The Lost Village’s creators do something really brave: They make a movie … just for kids.
The Boss Baby
The Boss Baby’s eventual affirmation of sibling bonding and familial love makes all its toddler toilet humor a bit more bearable.
Rock Dog
Rock Dog is a movie that is at times mildly charming (if predictable and formulaic) but more often just kind of … odd.
The LEGO Batman Movie
A tiny bit more restraint could have made this a movie we’d wholeheartedly recommend. As it is, it’s pretty good, but not perfect; heroic, but a bit edgy. Kind of like Batman himself.
