| My 12yo DD enjoyed Twelve and Cheaper By The Dozen recently. Twelve is new, other one is an oldie. |

| Not a comedy but what about the National Treasure movies? Fun and interesting. |

+1 to whomever suggested
The North Avenue Irregulars I watched this movie on repeat when I was a kid! (Also—fun fact: the main character (pastor) is played by Edward Hermann who is the father in Gilmore Girls. And his daughter in the movie (Carmel) is played by a young Melora Hardin (aka Jan from The Office). Melora and Ed appear together again in one episode of Gilmore Girls where she plays a single therapist who comes to dinner as an invited guest of Emily’s who intends to fix her up with Christopher. And Lorelai ends up having a therapy session with her in her car in her parents driveway.) |

Hidden Figures
A League of Their Own Not "girly" but both very powerful for girls. Less of a female-lead focus: Apollo 13 - gripping for anyone that age! |

| Inside Out 2 is excellent. We took two 12 year olds and they loved it. |

Thanks everyone for your suggestions - so many great older ones that I'd had forgotten about and some I've never heard of!
