Hoax: The Kidnapping of Sherri Papini (2023) 3/5 EDIT “Given the low budget, Lifetime does a decent job representing the weirdness of Papini.” – Common Sense Media Apr 28, 2026 Full Review Jerry West: The Logo (2026) 4/5 EDIT “This is a heartfelt and absorbing movie about respect. ” – Common Sense Media Apr 21, 2026 Full Review Nobody Dumps My Daughter (2024) 2/5 EDIT “To the degree that Nobody Dumps My Daughter incites outrage and incredulity in the viewer, this movie is a success.” – Common Sense Media Apr 21, 2026 Full Review 18th Rose (2026) 2/5 EDIT “This film ultimately tells the sad story of serious illness, but it does so childishly and by way of a unlikely romance.” – Common Sense Media Apr 21, 2026 Full Review It Takes a Village (2026) 2/5 EDIT “This is of those movies in which everyone involved seems to think that actors pretending to be idiots is somehow going to be charming. This assumption is incorrect. ” – Common Sense Media Apr 14, 2026 Full Review Husband, Father, Killer: The Alyssa Pladl Story (2024) 2/5 EDIT “Lifetime dramas are usually simplistic and melodramatic, yet watchable, but this one is an outlier, mixing stiff acting, dreadful dialogue, and confusing direction. ” – Common Sense Media Apr 14, 2026 Full Review Oddball (2015) 88% 4/5 EDIT “This is a great family-friendly movie that will also charm watch-along parents.” – Common Sense Media Apr 14, 2026 Full Review Giving Hope: The Ni'Cola Mitchell Story (2023) 2/5 EDIT “The achievements of the real person it profiles—a seemingly generous, talented, civic-minded, philanthropic writer—merits a good movie. But this is not that.” – Common Sense Media Apr 14, 2026 Full Review Eat Pray Bark (2026) 2/5 EDIT “This film is a curiosity and might disappoint kids assuming the movie is about cute furry friends. Most dog-related movies at least have adorable dogs to focus on. Here, the animals are secondary to a bunch of mostly unpleasant and neurotic humans.” – Common Sense Media Apr 7, 2026 Full Review If I Can't Have You (2023) 1/5 EDIT “The plot clearly has not been worked out. A murder is committed with no plausible explanation for why. A man stalks a woman with no plausible explanation for why. The characters generally behave like unsupervised 11-year-olds.” – Common Sense Media Apr 7, 2026 Full Review Made in Korea (2026) 31% 2/5 EDIT “This movie is actually a bunch of different movies—some good, some not so good—an amalgam of precariously glued-together variations on familiar cliches.” – Common Sense Media Mar 25, 2026 Full Review The Bad Guardian (2024) 3/5 EDIT “If you like your anxiety served up as an 87-minute public service announcement, complete with a condescending villain and a system rigged to exploit the innocent, The Bad Guardian is for you.” – Common Sense Media Mar 17, 2026 Full Review Accused (2026) 33% 3/5 EDIT “Accused is often gripping even if it fails to execute on tying together a raggedy array of loose threads and vague premises.” – Common Sense Media Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Gaslit by My Husband: The Morgan Metzer Story (2024) 2/5 EDIT “The buildup feels manufactured and confusing because at times Morgan seems to be as unbalanced as Rodney.” – Common Sense Media Mar 10, 2026 Full Review Yoh! Bestie (2026) 2/5 EDIT “Yoh! Bestie ends on a sweet note, but there's a lot of fluff on the way to that heartfelt moment.” – Common Sense Media Mar 3, 2026 Full Review The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996) 51% 3/5 EDIT “Despite some dated ideas and flaws, The Mirror has Two Faces is still a fun watch, with a great cast and a silly premise.” – Common Sense Media Mar 3, 2026 Full Review This is I (2026) 3/5 EDIT “This is I is a sweet film about a seemingly sweet person whose strength of character sees her through a challenging situation.” – Common Sense Media Feb 24, 2026 Full Review The Orphans (2025) 2/5 EDIT “For those who love nonstop, choreographed violence, The Orphans is a skillful display. Still, at a certain point, the ongoing punching and hitting of characters who keep falling down and miraculously getting up again for more becomes dull.” – Common Sense Media Feb 24, 2026 Full Review The Postman (1994) 92% 2.5/4 EDIT “[An] imperfect but well-directed film. ” – San Francisco Examiner Feb 22, 2026 Full Review Terry McMillan Presents: Tempted by Love (2024) 3/5 EDIT “It's always a beautiful thing to watch two intelligent, thoughtful people negotiate the challenges of life, and that's what's on the menu in Tempted by Love.” – Common Sense Media Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Terry McMillan Presents: Forever (2024) 4/5 EDIT “Diggs and Good portray two smart, kind, capable, reasonable people who are both wildly attracted to each other and grounded in the reality of what it takes to make a marriage work.” – Common Sense Media Feb 10, 2026 Full Review The Investigation of Lucy Letby (2026) 60% 2/5 EDIT “Given the use of AI to "create" characters making assertions about Lucy and the case, this feels like an exercise in hoodwinking.” – Common Sense Media Feb 10, 2026 Full Review Easterland 2 (2020) 1/5 EDIT “This is a stinker and a sequel nobody asked for.” – Common Sense Media Feb 3, 2026 Full Review Sisterhood, Inc (2025) 2/5 EDIT “The writers just didn't think this one through as the messages are muddled. Sisterhood, Inc. can't decide if it disapproves of an irresponsible 29-year-old, or if it celebrates her quirkiness and individuality.” – Common Sense Media Jan 27, 2026 Full Review The Royal We (2025) 3/5 EDIT “As escapist fare that fictionally counterbalances all the worldwide unresolved conflicts showcased in the news every day, this can't be beat.” – Common Sense Media Jan 27, 2026 Full Review
