Father of the Bride Part II review: A sequel that still works

Father of the Bride Part II (1995) is not quite as good as the first, but it still works as a warm family comedy, especially for dads of daughters. Rating: 3.5/5.

Daddy Day Care (2003) review – Fun family night, not quite a classic

We rewatched Daddy Day Care as a family: Eddie Murphy's day-care comedy still has its laughs, but it was less funny than we remembered and too silly in places. 3.5/5.

LEGO Astro Bot (40899) review: The little hero that made us chase a free gift

Avatar: Seven Havens Book 1 review: Two Avatars and a lot of promise

The first new animated Avatar series since The Legend of Korra is a really good season with a great twin idea and a goosebump finale. It does not reach the original or Korra. A 4 out of 5.

Avatar: Fire and Ash review: Beautiful, and again a disappointment

Avatar: Fire and Ash is visually outstanding, but like The Way of Water it lost us on story and character logic, and we watched it at home. A well-meant 3 out of 5.

Avatar: The Way of Water review: Stunning to look at, hard to follow through

Avatar: The Way of Water looks fantastic, but the characters' choices and the plot did not hold together for us. A well-meant 3 out of 5.
