Sing 2 (2021)
Sing 2 is no mic drop sequel. But families will appreciate the feel-good encore.

Encanto (2021)
It's no Coco, but Encanto has enough family magic to charm audiences with Disney feels. Good, but not great.

The Addams Family 2 (2021)
The Addams Family 2 is the scary reminder that this franchise should have be deceased years ago. All puns intended.

Dear Evan Hansen (2021)
It comes down to adaptation and believability. I wasn't completely sold on either.

Jungle Cruise (2021)
Everyone knows that your skipper makes or breaks your Jungle Cruise ride experience. Even though I had my doubts, Dwayne Johnson doesn't disappoint.

Well, it's the sequel that no one asked for, but now we have. Maybe I'm too "grown up" for this franchise

Black Widow (2021)
Marvel is more invested in weaving a web of explosions, stunts & violence than our investment in Black Widow's character. Not my favorite solo film.

Luca (2021)
Luca hasn't quite got his sea legs, but is a sweet enough story for a summer family flick.

Spirit Untamed (2021)
In one word, tame. But it's a safe, wholesome summer flick that families will be saying yay versus neigh

Raya and the Last Dragon (2021)
If any film can restore faith in humanity, this is it. A heartfelt, rare "dragon" gem of a movie with a timely message for a broken world.

Flora & Ulysses (2021)
A family-friendly movie that will have everyone yelling SQUIRREL! but in a good way. Nice twist on the book plot. Just wished they toned down the animal cruelty a bit for kids.

The Croods: A New Age (2020)
The sequel didn't evolve much from the original, but at least you can't say it's "end-of-the-world bad."
