The best Netflix movies to watch (or skip) this weekend

Lyle, Lyle, crocodile

Regard! This sweet and charming musical comedy is the perfect choice for a family movie night this weekend. Lyle, Lyle, crocodile follows the Primm family to their new home in New York, where they discover an adorable singing crocodile and make him part of the family. The film will begin streaming on Saturday February 4th.

infiesto

Skip! infiesto is a dark new Spanish thriller that follows two detectives as they try to solve a series of kidnappings that may be part of a larger, more sinister plan. This movie sounds great on paper, but the only thing that makes me hesitate is the inclusion of the coronavirus pandemic. If you’d rather see something that doesn’t mention the pandemic, skip this one.

true spirit

Regard! With Titans actress Teagan Croft, true spirit is an inspirational film based on the true story of Australian navigator Jessica Watson. At just 16, Watson was one of the youngest people to ever sail around the world alone, unaided. Anna Paquin also plays a role.

The price of the family

Skip! You may have noticed the Italian comedy film The price of the family in Netflix’s top 10 list this week, but you’re better off skipping this movie, which is filled with more likable characters than laughs. There are many better comedies on Netflix.

Minions: The Rise of Gru

Regard! This hilarious animated comedy is the fifth film overall in the Despicable Me franchise and the official sequel to the minions Movie. It’s also been one of the most positively-reviewed films in the franchise for a while, so it’s another great choice to watch with your kids if you haven’t had a chance to see it in theaters!
