With its iconic cast and fast-paced plot, the movie will likely be extremely successful and is perfect for mystery lovers, anglophiles, and those just looking for a laugh.
Another comedy your whole family can enjoy is Mary Poppins Returns, which will be released on December 19th, 54 years after the original. This version is set in 1930s London, when Michael Banks, the child in the first movie, has become an adult. Having fallen on hard times financially, Michael is facing having to move out of his house on Cherry Lane, when his old beloved nanny comes to the rescue.

If none of these movies sound appealing, you can check out the others that will be playing in theaters, or turn to Netflix, which will surely provide you with ample options for a holiday binge session.
