For being a musical, I quite enjoyed Spirited. It isn’t high-octane, and it isn’t a movie that will get you thinking but it is a fun, family movie (still rated 14A so not small child family). I thought the surrounding cast, including Sunita Mani and Patrick Page, was quite good, but this is a Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds movie. Good performances by both and quite funny along the way.
A Week Away is a decent family movie, but one that falls into a pretty saturated genre. This musical, summer camp movie does better than I expected to differentiate from other movies in this genre, but it is still incredibly predictable
This heartwarming movie is going to bring smiles and maybe a few tears into your living room. Tackling its share of important issues, this musical adaptation does a fantastic job. Full of great characters and some solid acting, this is one of the better movies Netflix has released.
Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey is a pretty good Christmas movie. It’s probably not one you will watch a second time, but it is worth checking out. The characters alone are good enough to make this one worth watching.
