It’s been fifteen years since Goldie Hawn graced the screen, so naturally we’re eager to see her grand return. Snatchedpairs her with Amy Schumer as a mother-daughter duo whose vacation in paradise turns into a hellish (but apparently still hilarious) nightmare. In the process of escaping their kidnappers, they learn a few things about themselves, each other, and their unbreakable bond. Aww.

As far as family-friendly entertainment goes, you could definitely do worse than a gorgeously animated superhero adventure featuring an all-star comedy voice cast led by Kevin Hart, Thomas Middleditch, and Ed Helms. There’s no mistaking Captain Underpantsas anything other than a kids’ movie, but it looks like one adults might secretly dig as well. (Hey, we won’t tell.)

… and you’re a big Broad City fan: Rough Night (June 16)

The real-life couple do triple duty on the show – both write and produce, Aniello directs, and Downs co-stars as Trey. Rough Nightis their first-ever feature, and the cast they’ve assembled includes Scarlett Johansson, Zoë Kravitz, Kate McKinnon, Jillian Bell, and their Broad Citycolleague Ilana Glazer. We don’t know about you, but we’re laughing already.

It’s a truism that every generation of SNLviewers is convinced that theirgeneration was peak SNL, that the show will never be that good again. So if your time was circa 2001, The Houseis for you. Will Ferrell and Amy Poehler – two of the brightest stars to come out of that era – star as a suburban couple who open up an illegal casino in their basement to pay for their daughter’s college tuition. You can guess what kind of hijinks ensue.

… and your kids love Minions: Despicable Me 3 (June 30)

If your kids adore the Minions and you can at least tolerate them, accept no substitutes. Despicable Me 3brings back the (endearingly?) obnoxious yellow blobs for more misadventures, this time involving a former child star voiced by South Park's Trey Parker. It also doubles down on Gru, the supervillain-turned-family-man voiced by Steve Carell – it turns out he's got a long-lost twin brother, Dru, also voiced by Carell.
