Good movie for 10 and 12 year old

shoppinisttimeagain · 31/07/2023 18:02

It's a wet, miserable evening here and I'm trying to think of a movie I could watch with the kids. They don't want a Disney/Pixar type thing. I would like something funny, easy to watch and something they will enjoy.

Any suggestions?

Free Guy on Disney+ as long as you don't mind the odd swear word or ten.

I wasn’t that keen but my kids LOVE it

My 12 year old recently enjoyed Independence Day. She was also fascinated by The Martian, which was a bit of a surprise.

School of Rock! I’ve lost count on how many times I’ve seen it!

Paddington 2 is our rainy day fave. DS and I also love rewatching The Durrells.

I love cool runnings, my girls weren't convinced for the first 5 minutes... Couldn't prise them away after that.

Mysa74 · 31/07/2023 22:25

On a similar note, the Eddie the eagle one is uite good, can't remember if its has inappropriate language though...
Strange magic is a big hit at the moment, loads of modern music and. Fairy with attitude.

Cool runnings!
