There's too much to stream across all platforms, and Netflix is overwhelming on its own. Thankfully, we're here to make sure you spend more time watching movies than choosing them.

Every week, we look through what's available on the streaming service and recommend seven movies you can watch over the weekend.

Some of our selections recently came to Netflix and some have been available for awhile — you might have just missed them because Netflix's algorithm thought you wouldn't like them.

From the brand-new Netflix original film "Like Father" starring Kristen Bell and Kelsey Grammer to "The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement," which jump-started the career of Chris Pine, these are some awesome movies on Netflix you can watch this weekend.

Here are seven movies on Netflix you should check out (along with their scores from Rotten Tomatoes).

Note: Not all of these films are available in countries outside the United States. Sorry!
