Real people.
Honest reviews.
Every day.

52 Flicks was started by 9 founding members, and the team is growing. We review films the way we'd recommend them to family: honestly, and with our own eyes.

Why we started 52 Flicks

Families deserve a straight answer before movie night: is it any good, is it right for our kids, and where can we watch it?

That's what every 52 Flicks review gives you. Each film is watched by someone on our team, and every review is checked by an editor before it goes live. Every Thursday at 6 PM Eastern, we choose the one film your family shouldn't miss.
