Here are our picks for family movie nights this month! What are yours? upparent.com/lists/best-fam…

The Adam Project "A time traveler on a mission to save the future teams up with his 12-year-old self. We really loved it...plenty of humor and also quite heartfelt. It's overall a good Netflix pick for families, but best for older kids because of some adult content."

The Willoughbys "This fantastic movie took us by surprise, and is absolutely one of the best family movies on Netflix! Four siblings, neglected by their parents, hatch a plan to improve their circumstances. It's funny, sweet, and a little bit dark."

Sing 2 "We loved Sing 2 just as much as the original, and watched it multiple times as a family! It's funny for all ages and has a great soundtrack."

The Mitchells vs. The Machines "My family has been loving the original new kids movies on Netflix recently, and [this] is one of our favorites! It's up to the Mitchell family to stop a robot apocalypse from destroying humanity...however ill-equipped they may seem."
