16 Great Movies for Kids

I’ve put together this list of great movies for kids because if we’re going to stay home we need all the resources we can get to keep the kids entertained. In an attempt to retain my sanity I’ve prefer to let the kids watch a movie and not a tv show – I want to […]

Dolittle is a great family movie, we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Dolittle (2020)

We thought Dolittle was just lovely. And I was a complete sceptic. I’m talking about the Doctor Dolittle movie staring Robert Downey Jnr released in 2020. I wasn’t a sceptic because of the previous two movies starring Eddie Murphy (or maybe there were three). Nor was it because of the horrible reviews I’ve recently read, […]

Angry Birds 2 (2019)

The kids and I just went to see Angry Birds 2. It’s not my favourite movie of the year, it’s no Toy Story 4, but it was good enough to keep the kids busy, especially during a rainy day on the school holidays. I remember watching Angry Birds and being amazed at how the creators […]

Toy Story 4 – finally the right ending

Toy Story 4 was better than I could have imagined. It brought the gang back together with some HILARIOUS new toys and it feels like the story finally ended in the right way.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry (if you’re like me) and you’ll probably love it.
It’s really a great great movie! Maybe even the best of the four.

Toy Story 1 – a mom’s review of the very first movie

With the new Toy Story coming out, it’s time to work through the Toy Story movies again.

I’m working out the good, the bad and the age guide for these movies. And i’ve added a small guideline of the plot, hopefully without giving too much away.

Recommended Movies for Younger Kids

Movies for Younger Kids It’s hard to find suitable movies for younger kids. I’m hoping that this list of recommended movies for young kids makes it a little easier to find thing that you’re happy letting your child watch. Despite my daughter’s unwavering love of Frozen, I actually haven’t included it in this list. I […]

Mary Poppins Returns - a mom's review of the good, the bad, age suitability and a comparison to the Original. It's hard to know the perfect age to watch this movie, but I've given it my best assessment in this review.

Mary Poppins Returns… A mom’s review

During the last school holidays I took my 3 year old (nearly 4 year old) and 6 year old to watch Mary Poppins Returns. I loved Mary Poppins growing up. I’ve watched it thousands of times. I’ve even made my kids watch it and reviewed it. (Here is the review of the Original Mary Poppins.) […]

Sing! The best animated movie for singing and dancing.

Sing! (the animated movie)

Sing!  I can not believe I haven’t reviewed Sing! yet. It’s one of my daughters all time favorites. I must have watched it over 100 times by now. Coupled with listening to the songs when we’re in the car, it is perpetually part of our lives. I know we’re not the only family who this […]

Boss Baby makes the list of recommended movies for younger kids. Its harmless, no real villains and has good humour for parents who are having to watch.

Boss Baby – a mom’s review 

Boss Baby  I was not keen on Boss Baby when I saw the previews and adverts online. One day I got home from work to find the kids watching it… thanks nanny! Anyway, it happened and from that time on it’s been one of my 3 year old’s favourites. I think it must be the […]

The Incredibles 2 – great for kids older than 5! 

The Incredibles 2 I loved The Incredibles 2, who cares what the kids thought. Just kidding, of course I care about their opinions. They enjoyed it so much I’ve had to watch the first Incredibles movie every afternoon for the last week. That or Jack-Jack attack that is on FOXTEL at the moment. If you […]
