If you're heading to the theater this weekend and want something for the whole family to enjoy, you're in luck!

According to Plugged In Online, "Big Hero 6" is a family-friendly adventure that everyone can enjoy.

A story of unlikely superheroes that includes a marshmallow-like robot,  "Big Hero 6" is "less about powered-up whiz-bang and more about 'somebody has to help',"  Plugged In movie reviewer Bob Hoose wrote.

"Add in solid lessons of teamwork, friendship, dealing with grief in a healthy way, and exhortations on the emptiness of revenge," Hoose added.
 
Meanwhile "Interstellar," another film hitting theaters, might not be for families but could be an option for adults, according to Plugged In.

Starring Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway, "Interstellar" takes place in a bleak future on Earth, where astronauts are forced to roam the universe, searching for a place for humans to relocate.

"Love is a mystical but very real force in Interstellar. To see God behind it requires only one small step for moviegoers," movie reviewer Paul Asay wrote.

"If that small step toward God... isn't taken, the movie's worldview becomes problematic as it sits undefined and unredeemed," he continued. "So 'Interstellar' is a film that practically demands discussion."
