Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

One of the best family movies I’ve seen in a long time, worth watching even if you don’t have kids.
Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers
Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

Fun, better than the original.
The Menu
See How They Run

A nice, fun murder mystery
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

This was fun, and went over great with the kids. Would love more movies like this, I hope they make a sequel.
Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget

As with the original, a great family movie
Poor Things
Deep Cover

Given the direct-to-streaming release, I expected mindless drivel, but this is a fun watch.
Freaky Tales

Not for everyone, but I liked it. Pulp Fiction-esque in 80s Oakland.
Good Fortune

Likable cast and a good script
Bugonia

As with other Yorgos films, this is not for everyone. Recommend going in blind and sticking with it to the end (my wife did not). Great acting by Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone.
Eternity

Points for an original story, and the cast did a great job. I enjoyed the subtle background humor of all the themed eternities.
Zootopia 2

Not as good as the first, but still a great family watch and better than many “grown-up” movies.
Send Help

Horror isn’t my favorite genre, but this was great.
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die

Original, frenetic, and fun. Avoid the trailer or reading about it before watching if you can.
The Sheep Detectives

This was great. Knives Out, but you can watch it with kids and there are talking sheep
The Invite

Good story, great acting.
Polite Society

A fun British-Pakistani teen kung fu wedding heist
Friendship

A must-watch if you love cringe comedy

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

Delightfully absurd
Bullet Train

Fast paced, dumb fun. Had to double check this wasn’t a Guy Ritchie movie.
Triangle of Sadness
Confess, Fletch

Not as good as the originals, but Jon Hamm makes this watchable.
Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre

Mindless fun
The Super Mario Bros. Movie

This was way better than I expected. Unlike the video game movies of my childhood, it’s clear the writers here have actually played (and enjoyed) Mario games.
Renfield

Fun twist on a familiar story
Barbie
Quiz Lady

Leo

A solid family watch.
The Holdovers
Dream Scenario

Far from perfect, but appreciate the originality
Bottoms

I’ve got a soft spot for Don Draper and Liz Lemon

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare

I’m a sucker for Guy Ritchie and Henry Cavill
The Fall Guy
Self Reliance

Ridiculous, but fun
Asteroid City

Another Wes Anderson film. You should watch if you’re a fan, otherwise it is skippable.
Dog Man

Enjoyable watch with the kids
Mountainhead

This starts off really strong, absolutely nails the vernacular of the VC crowd, but then goes all in on physical comedy that I didn’t enjoy as much.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
Mickey 17

Heard bad things about this, but I liked it.
Sketch

Good choice for family movie night
The Phoenician Scheme

You probably already know whether you like Wes Anderson movies or not.
The Naked Gun

Faithful to the originals
The Roses

Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery

Not as good as the first two, but still fun.
Anaconda

Silly fun, better than expected.
The Thursday Murder Club

Easy watch for when you want a cozy mystery
The Wrecking Crew

Solid action movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice

Fun watch you shouldn’t think too hard about. Great use of Vince Vaughn.
Roofman

Better than expected. Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst are great.
Hoppers

Enjoyable family watch
They Cloned Tyrone

Fun, original premise
Over Your Dead Body

A bit more gore than I expected, but good cast and some funny moments
Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass

Silly fun, great cast, and the Wizard of Oz references are fun.

Coyote vs. Acme

Adult nostalgia with enough there for the kids. Very reminiscent of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Starts strong, but not quite as good as Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers
Ready or Not

Great cast, funnier than I expected too.
Ready or Not: Here I Come

A rare sequel that’s on par (and might actually be better) than the original
I Want You Back
Thor: Love and Thunder
Marry Me
Cocaine Bear

Funny idea, but the joke gets old after a while
Turning Red
Dumb Money
Maggie Moore(s)
Shortcomings
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
Wicked Little Letters
Wolfs
Deadpool & Wolverine
Snack Shack

A Real Pain
Anora

I don’t understand how this got so many accolades, especially since the second half of the film goes hard into physical comedy
The Adam Project
Problemista

Some fun surreal bits here and there
- 2024
- Comedy
Please Don't Destroy: The Treasure of Foggy Mountain
Unfrosted

Some funny things here and there, but way worse than it should be given the amount of talent
Novocaine
Piece by Piece

Only for Neptunes/Pharrell super-fans
Splitsville

A bit much at times, but it’s a fun watch. Getting a very attractive actress to play your spouse is clearly a great perk of acting in films you wrote.

Freakier Friday

Just barely watchable for family movie night; the first, of course, is much better.
Is This Thing On?

Sad Dad divorce drama
Pixels

Futurama did it first, shorter, and better, but a decent family watch.
Cold Storage

Solid zombie movie that delivers exactly what you expect
No Hard Feelings
Spin Me Round

This was funny and almost great, but missing something and I don’t know what
The Dink

Pretty sure the screenplay was an AI prompt (“Happy Gilmore, but for pickleball”), but they did it a few years ago when AI wasn’t as good yet
One Night Only

Stupid, but watchable romantic comedy
Tony

A bit cliché, but a good cast makes this enjoyable enough
You People

Waste of a talented cast
Shazam! Fury of the Gods
Anyone But You
Mean Girls

Just watch the original, it’s better in every way.
Hit Man

Didn’t expect much, and still disappointed
The Idea of You
My Old Ass
Red One
Saturday Night
Somebody I Used to Know
Happy Gilmore 2

I know I shouldn’t have watched this, but I was morbidly curious.
Oh. What. Fun.

Good cast completely wasted due to poor writing.
Honey Don't!

Neo-noir set in post-COVID California. Has a little of the Coen Brothers feel, but with a disjointed, messy plot and an abrupt ending.
Pizza Movie

Seems I’ve aged out of this type of movie (college drug trip), but I get the appeal

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie

Came highly recommended, and I thought I’d like it but it just didn’t connect for me. Perhaps if I’d seen the show beforehand?
The Devil Wears Prada 2

Rehashing the original, a bunch of pointless fan service and cameos
Hundreds of Beavers

Low-budget, cartoonish slapstick inspired by the silent film era. Came highly recommended, but absolutely not for me.

The Wrong Girls

If you want a silly stoner comedy, then this completely delivers
I Want Your Sex

Another well-made movie that’s just not for me.

Spa Weekend

Worse than my already low expectations, couldn’t bring myself to finish it.
