NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM - 4/1/2021
NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM stars Ben Stiller as Larry Daley, a dreamer who takes a job as a night guard at the local museum of natural history, where, to his surprise and consternation, the exhibits come to life and cause problems. NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM is exciting, charming, tender, and amusing entertainment that teaches responsibility, self-control and the need for fathers being good role models, but some jokes about humanist evolution require a slight caution.

EVAN ALMIGHTY - 4/1/2021
EVAN ALMIGHTY stars Steve Carell as Evan Baxter, the anchorman from BRUCE ALMIGHTY, who has become a U.S. Congressman, but sees his political career put on hold when God commands Evan to build an ark. EVAN ALMIGHTY is a funny, heartwarming family movie with a thrilling ending that makes up for the movie’s theological mis-steps, such as the important fact that the movie does not make it clear that, when God appears to us in human form, he always appears as Jesus Christ as noted in John 1.

THAT THING YOU DO - 4/1/2021
THAT THING YOU DO, written and directed by Tom Hanks, documents the rise of fictional band, The Wonders, from Erie, Pennsylvania.

ARRIVAL - 4/28/2021
ARRIVAL is a very well made, beautifully crafted science fiction movie about coming into contact with aliens who give humans the gift of a new language. Underneath ARRIVAL’s dubious science fiction propositions is a deeper, poignant story of death and grieving, but MOVIEGUIDE® advises strong caution for the movie’s false circular view of reality, which may confuse or sway viewers.

SHREK 2 - 4/1/2021
SHREK 2, the first sequel to the 2001 animated Oscar-winning hit, has Shrek trying to keep his marriage to Fiona intact, despite an evil plot by Fiona’s underhanded Fairy Godmother. SHREK 2 contains a few inappropriate jokes and a politically correct tone, but it also has a light Christian worldview and many biblical, moral messages showing that magical spells and fairy tale enchantments cannot bring real happiness and extolling forgiveness, repentance, self-sacrifice, thinking of others before yourself, selfless love, honor, valor, and the courage to do the right thing.

ELLA ENCHANTED - 4/1/2021
ELLA ENCHANTED is a retelling of the Cinderella story that, although it has great potential to be involving and interesting for children, spends more time advancing a socialist political message than entertaining them. Anne Hathaway is the movie’s saving grace, but there is not enough there to entertain young children.
