Family Movies for Summer Time Fun

The summer of 2007 may be the summer of the sequel but there are also quite a few great family flicks in the offerings. Some of these just happen to be sequels while others will be making their debut. Hopefully, you will find plenty of great summer time movie fun below to keep your family happy no matter how hot it gets outside. If you want a real treat, take the family out to a drive-in movie at least once this summer.

Shrek the Third

While the lovable Shrek is already in theaters this movie will probably stay for a while. There are no real signs of its box office success faltering even after the very successful release of another eagerly anticipated sequel almost immediately on Shrek's ogretails. This version of Shrek holds true to the roots of Shrek though fans seem to have a mixed reaction. Either they loved Shrek the Third or they hated it. Very few fans were indifferent.

Nancy Drew

For fans of the book this is a long awaited movie. In the day of Mean Girls and other movies that hallmark the worst of teen nature it is great to see fun flicks such as this make the summer cut. Nancy Drew is no clueless girl; in fact she is very skilled when it comes to finding trouble. For a great feel-good family film this is must for your summer time movie viewing.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

This movie will top the list for some families when it comes to summer time viewing and not make the list at all for other families. The wide popularity of the Harry Potter series would make any list a little bit remiss not to include it as an excellent family film. I do however suggest that this film is best viewed by older children as it is a little darker than other films of the past and will show a angrier version of Harry than has been previously seen. The story however is amazing and I really feel this movie is going to be one of the highlights of the summer even among some very stiff competition.
