Best Netflix Movies to Watch (or Skip) This Weekend
You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah
Experience the heartwarming journey of a preteen girl named Stacy Friedman, brought to life by the talented Sunny Sandler, in a must-watch coming-of-age film that’s perfect for a cozy family movie night. Stacy’s ultimate dream is to have the perfect bat mitzvah with her closest friend, Lydia, by her side. However, their friendship is put to the test when a boy comes into the picture, threatening to derail their long-awaited celebration. Can they overcome this hurdle and mend their friendship before it’s too late? Find out in this sweet and hilarious film that’s sure to warm your heart.
Sausage Party
I recommend bypassing the option to watch Sausage Party. While it is a comedic, animated film with a hard R rating, it may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The plot revolves around a group of grocery store food items who learn the startling truth of what happens when they are purchased and taken home. Despite receiving positive reviews from critics, this movie is an acquired taste and not suitable for all audiences.

The Big Short
If you’re looking for an insightful and entertaining film, The Big Short may be just what you need. This Academy Award-winning biographical drama delves into the events leading up to the 2007 housing crash, exploring the dark side of the financial world. Featuring an impressive cast that includes Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Steve Carrell, Marisa Tomei, Brad Pitt, and Hamish Linklater, this movie is sure to captivate you from start to finish. What sets The Big Short apart is its unique narrative technique, which breaks the fourth wall to bring in celebrity cameos like Margot Robbie, Selena Gomez, and Anthony Bourdain. These celebrities explain complex economic concepts in a way that’s both informative and entertaining, making this movie a must-see.

Killer Book Club
If you are contemplating viewing a new horror flick this upcoming weekend, then Killer Book Club could be a potential option, but regrettably, this latest teen slasher movie is rather predictable and filled with clichéd moments. It might be a wiser decision to re-watch the Scream movies instead.
A Life Too Short: The Isabella Nardoni Case
Check out the newest true crime documentary on Netflix, which brings to light a harrowing incident that took place in Brazil. The case in question revolves around a five-year-old girl who tragically fell from the sixth floor of her father’s apartment building. In an effort to seek justice for her daughter, the mother sets out on a mission that ultimately gains widespread attention from the national media.
