McFarland USA
A cross-cultural cross-country drama about a beleaguered teacher inspiring young kids beyond anyone’s expectations—especially their own.
The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water
Is this whole thing a little long in the loofah? Maybe. But we can still squeeze out a few new things to talk about.
Hoovey
You could say Hoovey is to basketball what Bethany Hamilton is to (soul) surfing.
Paddington
A suitably plush and cuddly pic that gives three cheers to the importance of loving families.
Saving Christmas
Kirk Cameron wants to save Christmas. But you might be surprised who he wants to save it from.
Big Hero 6
You won’t want to say it (because it would make Baymax power down), but you’ll likely find that you were well satisfied with your care.
Dolphin Tale 2
Winter’s in need of a new friend! So it’s the search for a slippery soul mate that gives this clean-water movie its porpoise.
Planes: Fire & Rescue
Dusty Crophopper is back, not as an ace air racer this time, but as a fire fighter in training.
Bears
This Disneynature film shuffles along with a family of Alaskan grizzlies. Bear hugs all around!
Rio 2
That makes this a nice little suet cake that really starts to taste good once it hits its musical theater stride. It praises family, friendship and love.
