The 10 best, most family-friendly films of 2018
Let’s face it: It can be difficult to find a movie that the whole family can watch. Thankfully, though, there were quite a few family-friendly films released in theaters in 2018. Here are my favorite 10:
REVIEW: ‘Mary Poppins Returns’ is marvelous
Mary Poppins was popular because it reminded us of everything that is wonderful about childhood: imagination and innocence and fun.
REVIEW: ‘Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse is a family-centric superhero flick
Spiderman has one coarse word (h-ll) and also plenty of violence -- more than the Incredibles series but less than a live-action superhero film -- yet that doesn’t distract from the film’s core
Awe-inspiring ‘Blue Planet II’ leads December streaming lineup
King David likely would have enjoyed watching nature documentaries on television. After all, he’s the one who told us “the heavens declare the glory of God”
REVIEW: ‘Buttons’ is a fun, feel-good musical
If Dick Van Dyke is singing and dancing in a movie, then you can guarantee I’m ready to watch it.
So it’s no surprise that...
REVIEW: ‘Creed II’ soars with solid fatherhood message
I now have a new entree into my Top 10: Creed II. And I don’t even like boxing.
REVIEW: ‘Instant Family’ has a great message about foster care, even if it’s not...
Instant Family conveys the gamut of emotions that a foster/adoptive family experiences -- including fear, anxiety and, most importantly, joy -- but tells the story through the lens of laughter.
Wonderful ‘Wonder’ leads November’s streaming lineup
This month on Amazon Prime and Hulu, one of the best films on the subject of bullying -- 2017’s Wonder (PG)
REVIEW: ‘The Grinch’ is an instant Christmas classic
I’ve lost count at the number of “children’s films" that contained questionable adult content. But there are exceptions, and a new movie in theaters this weekend -- The Grinch (PG) -- stays firmly in family-friendly territory while giving us a few positive messages, too.
