Kit Kittredge


Abigail Breslin is Kit Kittredge in this movie based on the popular American Girl books. In this movie Kit is faced with the reality of the Depression and the impact it has on not only her family but other people as well. When there is a crime committed at her house she gets to use her investigation abilities to solve the case. Breslin is always a joy to watch and this movie is no different. A good movie about a tough time in history, but done in a way appropriate for a younger audience.

Daddy Day Camp


Cuba Gooding Jr. plays Charlie in this "sequel" to Daddy Day Care. In this movie they decide to take on an old run down camp and see if they can turn it around and give the kids a fun summer camp experience. Of course nothing goes as it should. The plot is fairly typical and been done before, and not tremendously funny but a clean family movie

Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins


Martin Lawrence is R.J. Stevens, famous talk-show host who is unwillingly taking a trip home to visit his family for his parent's anniversary. Instead of the awe he is sure they will all feel at his success he is treated like the "red-headed step child". Not his best movie but those who really like Lawrence will probably enjoy it.
