Pop the popcorn, dim the lights, and settle down with your family for movie night! It's not always easy to find something the whole family can watch together (something that isn't Frozen 2 for the 852nd time, at least). I have fond memories watching movies with my parents and siblings as a kid, and I am so excited to carry on the tradition with my sons. Netflix has so many family-friendly movies that are hilarious and kid appropriate, which you can stream right now!

A Series of Unfortunate Events
A Series of Unfortunate Events is a laugh-out-loud Jim Carrey flick that even parents will enjoy.
