There is humour and adventure, history and really cute kids in this movie.
It is not a children's movie, though.
Big Plus...New Zealand landscape.

"Unorthodox" and "Pretend it's a city" have my rec.
I am awaiting the second season of "Russian Doll."
One of the best racing movies is "Rush", It's a good story of competition and an unlikely friendship. Ron Howard directed. It's about James Hunt and Niki Lauda. The scene where he tries on his helmet the first time since the crash will . He just recently died. Just added to NETFLIX https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1979320/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

"Senna" is a documentary about Ayrton Senna. It https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1424432/
