Chris Hemsworth: A Road Trip to Remember (2025) 4/5 EDIT “Part biopic, part therapy session, part buddy movie, Marvel hero Chris Hemsworth weaves a loving tribute to his aging father in this educational show.” – Common Sense Media Dec 2, 2025 Full Review Le Pupille (2022) 92% 5/5 EDIT “Younger teens might not enjoy the nuances delivered in Le Pupille as a 40-minute film, but older teens and adults who dig foreign or cerebral shows will find this tidy production satisfying.” – Common Sense Media Feb 15, 2023 Full Review Snow Day (2022) 3/5 EDIT “Viewers might wonder whether the theme of having a snow day is deserving of a full-length musical movie, but as soon as that thought enters the head, a fun dance number distracts, and some clever songs can elicit a smile. ” – Common Sense Media Jan 3, 2023 Full Review The Boss Baby: Christmas Bonus (2022) 3/5 EDIT “Boss Baby: Christmas Bonus surprises with a sprinkling of political satire borne out of real labor-movement issues, while serving up funny characters like Dongle (Ray Chase), the elf with the Russian accent -- a foil to the capitalist Boss Baby, perhaps? ” – Common Sense Media Dec 15, 2022 Full Review The Last Starfighter (1984) 76% 3/5 EDIT “Without Preston, the movie could be a pass, but his big-tent voice and charisma gives this movie a memorable lift. Overall, a decent watch for sci-fi fans.” – Common Sense Media Apr 27, 2022 Full Review Hot Mess Holiday (2021) 3/5 EDIT “Some heartwarming inside jokes are worth a laugh, and the cultural family ties-that-bind provide a fun tension for these modern Indian-American women. But the writing feels heavy-handed at times, and the drinking feels a little obligatory.” – Common Sense Media Jan 18, 2022 Full Review Robin Robin (2021) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Delightful, uplifting, and very well-crafted, this short film could make its way into the holiday entertainment pantheon.” – Common Sense Media Dec 1, 2021 Full Review Under Wraps (2021) 4/5 EDIT “Entertaining, a little spooky, and goofy enough to make it fun, this remake of a 1997 movie has seen some upgrades.” – Common Sense Media Oct 14, 2021 Full Review Little Monsters (1989) 44% 3/5 EDIT “For a movie about monsters, this flick has a bit of heart.” – Common Sense Media Sep 27, 2019 Full Review LEGO Hero Factory: Rise of the Rookies (2010) 2/5 EDIT “More violence than plot...and lots of LEGO tie-ins.” – Common Sense Media Jan 11, 2012 Full Review Happiness Is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown (2011) 3/5 EDIT “Linus's blanket attachment is focus of this Peanuts caper.” – Common Sense Media Apr 5, 2011 Full Review Barbie: A Fairy Secret (2011) 2/5 EDIT “Shopping and cattiness dominate this weak Barbie effort.” – Common Sense Media Mar 22, 2011 Full Review Cheetah (1989) 43% 3/5 EDIT “'80s Disney live-action adventure with few perilous moments.” – Common Sense Media Mar 15, 2011 Full Review Open Season 3 (2010) 3/5 EDIT “B-team cast still delivers laughs and with less crude humor.” – Common Sense Media Feb 1, 2011 Full Review Of Boys and Men (2008) 3/5 EDIT “Emotional exploration of manhood and loss of a parent.” – Common Sense Media Feb 1, 2011 Full Review Home Alone 3 (1997) 36% 3/5 EDIT “Formulaic movie draws some laughs from pratfalls.” – Common Sense Media Feb 1, 2011 Full Review Bigfoot (2008) 3/5 EDIT “Lonely kid finds an unlikely friend in action-packed tale.” – Common Sense Media Jan 18, 2011 Full Review Inspector Gadget's Biggest Caper Ever (2005) 2/5 EDIT “Wowsers, this silly caper is hampered by poor CGI animation.” – Common Sense Media Jan 18, 2011 Full Review Rock-A-Doodle (1991) 20% 4/5 EDIT “Colorful tale of singing rooster has perilous moments.” – Common Sense Media Jan 4, 2011 Full Review A Charlie Brown Valentine (2002) 3/5 EDIT “Charlie Brown looks for love in these classic cartoons.” – Common Sense Media Jan 4, 2011 Full Review Home Alone 4 (2002) 1/5 EDIT “Recycled gags with none of the original's charm.” – Common Sense Media Dec 21, 2010 Full Review Yogi's First Christmas (1980) 4/5 EDIT “Hey hey, Boo Boo! Yogi's Christmas caper is a keeper.” – Common Sense Media Dec 19, 2010 Full Review WeeBeeTunes Travel Adventures: The Journey Continues (2007) 3/5 EDIT “Wee Bee Tunes gang explores the continents.” – Common Sense Media Dec 19, 2010 Full Review WeeBeeTunes Travel Adventures: Get Your Passport! (2007) 3/5 EDIT “The Wee Bees Tunes gang goes globetrotting.” – Common Sense Media Dec 19, 2010 Full Review Veggietales: Sweetpea Beauty A Girl After God's Own Heart (2010) 3/5 EDIT “Fairy tales about beauty get a religious makeover.” – Common Sense Media Dec 19, 2010 Full Review
