THE BREADWINNER
THE BREADWINNER stars popular comic Nate Bargatze as a successful car salesman whose life is turned upside down when his wife wins a $100,000 deal from SHARK TANK’s Lori Greiner to make a cute doodad for helping parents organize their children.

DESPICABLE ME 2
DESPICABLE ME 2 finds the former villain Gru joining the Anti-Villains League to stop a villain who’s turning Gru’s adorable little minions into monsters with a stolen secret formula. DESPICABLE ME 2 is one of the funniest, laugh-out-loud, hilarious, best conceived, well-plotted, most enjoyable movies ever. Every form of villainy is refuted, family is affirmed, doing the right thing is affirmed, and good triumphs.

THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS
THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS, starring Will Smith and his real-life son, is based on the true life and struggles of Chris Gardner as he attempts to create a better life for himself and his young son. One of the most inspirational movies of the year, the movie puts forth a strong message about a parent’s commitment to their child and that with hard work and a belief in one’s self, great things can be accomplished.

INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE
INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE is the third installment of George Lucas and Steve Spielberg’s mega-hit franchise, with Indy joining with his father, played by Sean Connery, to find the Holy Grail before Hitler’s National Socialist army does. INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE is thoroughly entertaining from start to finish and provides lots of non-stop action, high adventure, cliff-hanging excitement, and light humor, while also glorifying God, faith and even Jesus Christ, but there is some foul language, scary scenes and incidental vulgarities meriting caution for children.

FATHER OF THE BRIDE (1991)
Returning from architectural study in Rome, 22-year-old Annie Banks announces her engagement to a youth she met abroad. The news wreaks havoc on soon-to-be FATHER OF THE BRIDE in this updated modernization of Vincente Minnelli's 1950 MGM classic. Refreshingly, FATHER OF THE BRIDE affirms old-fashioned family values, though there is one exclamatory profanity and sexual innuendo. Aside from these flaws, FATHER OF THE BRIDE is a heart-warming father-daughter story that reflects family life in the 1990's.

CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN
The very funny CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN stars Steve Martin and Bonnie Hunt as parents of 12 children who must confront their priorities when their careers get in the way. CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN is highly entertaining. Although it is not the beloved original novel, it makes a tremendous number of positive, redemptive, and moral points including affirming the resurrection of Jesus Christ in the midst of messy situations.

THE PARENT TRAP
