Weekends are the time for relaxing, ideally with some high-quality entertainment.
If you’re looking to wind down with a film, but don’t want to spend money at the box office or pay for yet another subscription, Watch With Us is recommending these three movies starring Robin Williams, Lana Condor and Daniel Radcliffe.
There’s a family action movie, a hilarious parody biopic and a brand new rom-com. And even better, each of these movies is available for free, without any subscription required.
‘Jumanji’ (1995)This family adventure features one of Robin Williams‘ most iconic roles. Williams shows off his comedic and dramatic chops as Alan Parrish, a boy who is transported to the dangerous board game world of Jumanji and trapped there for decades.
When two children (Kirsten Dunst and Bradley Pierce) rediscover the game and inadvertently release Alan, they must find Alan’s old friend Sarah (Bonnie Hunt) and complete the game to make all of Jumanji’s chaos disappear. The movie is funny, often scary and sweet without being corny — it’s no wonder it became a classic that spawned two awesome sequels.

‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’ (2022)There’s no better way to tell the story of “Weird Al” Yankovic, the king of song parodies, than with a parody of movies about musicians. Weird: The Al Yankovic story stars Daniel Radcliffe as the young accordion player in this pastiche of musical biopic cliches that never happened to the real “Weird Al.” His parents don’t support his dream! He falls hard into the party lifestyle and gets addicted to drugs! He loses sight of what the music’s really about, man!
Radcliffe’s an unexpected casting choice, but he’s actually perfect for the role. He commits hard to the hilarity, playing it completely serious and showing his seriously multifaceted skills. Weird is a bit like Hot Rod meets Bohemian Rhapsody, and it’s full of cameos from stars like Rainn Wilson, Jack Black, Evan Rachel Wood and Lin-Manuel Miranda. It’s definitely the best thing to ever come out of The Roku Channel, which we know doesn’t mean much, but trust us — it’s worth a watch.
A new, original romantic comedy from Tubi, Worth the Wait is reminiscent of Love, Actually or Valentine’s Day with its interconnected cast who all have their own storylines and love stories. This movie, however, stars an all-Asian cast, including Lana Condor (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before), Ross Butler (Riverdale, 13 Reasons Why) and Elodie Yung (The Cleaning Lady).
It’s the perfect light, fluffy film to get you in a summer romance kind of mood as we head into the first weekend of June. Watch Worth the Wait on Tubi.
