Here's my controversial opinion: Return to Halloweentown is not the worst Halloweentown movie. Yes, I know Disney swapped out Kimberly J. Brown for Sara Paxton as Marnie — but the story is still fun, exciting, and, most importantly, full of magic. As the fourth and final installment in the franchise, Return to Halloweentown follows Marnie...

Summertime often brings family road trips (and my sister's birthday, which is today if you were wondering!), and I am reminded of the one movie we could never get enough of that we would often watch from the back seat of our parents' car. Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is one of the most iconic DCOMs (Disney Channel Original Movies, of...

A family favorite that has always held a special place in my heart, the 2003 Cheaper by the Dozen, follows the lovably large Baker family, consisting of 12 children and parents Tom Baker (Steve Martin), a high school football coach,...

Chupa tells the uplifting tale of a young Mexican-American boy named Alex (played by Evan Whitten) who visits his family in Mexico, and stumbles upon one of the most famous mythical creatures of Mexican lore....

St. Patrick's Day may be over, but it's never the wrong time to watch the seminal Disney Channel Original classic, The Luck of the Irish. Millennials are no doubt familiar with this bonkers-but-delightful teen movie about an average, basketball-loving teenager who discovers he’s part-leprechaun, on his mom’s side. It’s a perfect blend of...

A Charlie Brown Christmas is a seminal holiday classic. Charles Schulz's beloved 1965 special follows good ol' Charlie Brown as he discovers the true meaning of Christmas. A touching story that somehow mixes festive music ("Linus and Lucy" still slaps) with seasonal depression, A Charlie Brown Christmas is a pleasant reminder about the soothing...
