The Secret Life of Pets
Rated: PG
Release Date: July 8, 2016
Runtime: 1 hour 30 minutes
Directors: Chris Renaud, Yarrow Cheney
Featuring: Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart
This Animated Comedy is about these adorable pets living in New York, that live secret lives when their owners are not around. It's very similar to Toy Story, but with animals instead of toys. I thought it was a ok movie, it's not a bad one, just in the middle. Parents, this is obviously a kid-friendly movie so, I bet your little ones might like it better than you might.

Director: Sean Anders

This film stars Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne, as a couple who decides to become foster parents to three children. They then find themselves that being adoptive parents, is more challenging than they thought.
This is a good movie. Parents, It's rated PG-13, So I wouldn't recommend this flick to younger audiences. If they edited out all the foul language, and all the other suggestive material, it probably would of gotten a PG.

The Upside
Rated: PG-13
Release Date: January 11, 2019
Runtime: 2 hours 6 minutes
Director: Neil Burger
Starring: Kevin Hart, Bryan Cranston
This movie is about a New York parolee (Hart), who gets a job working for a Bitter, Crippled, Rich man (Cranston), who feels like life is no longer worth living. They develop a friendship that started out as a professional relationship, and they learn that life is worth living.
I thought that this film is way better than Green Book. Mainly because, that there isn't nearly as much foul language. But still, Parents, I'm not sure if your little ones would be interested in this movie. But your older kids, maybe.

Green Book
Rated: PG-13
Release Date: November 16, 2018
Runtime: 2 hours 10 minutes
Director: Peter Farrelly
Starring: Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali
In 1962, Tony "Tony Lip" Vallelonga, a tough bouncer, becomes the driver for the African-American pianist Don Shirley, for a concert tour through the deep south states. During the journey, they develop a friendship and a understanding that would change both their lives.
It's a good movie but, this award winner has some foul language, smoking, and other suggestive materials. If it didn't have any of that stuff, I would've given it an A. So parents, I wouldn't recommend this film to your little ones at all. I think it's meant for an adult audience.
