CLEVELAND, Ohio – While the coronavirus pandemic has led to major disruptions around the world, it doesn’t mean you have to let it ruin celebrating mom this Mother’s Day.
We took a look at many of the major streaming services and found 9 options you can enjoy with mom this Sunday. Check out the complete list below, including where each film is available online.
1. ‘Mama Mia!’
Based on the Broadway hit musical and featuring a star-studded cast led by Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried, ‘Mama Mia!’ might be the story of a girl trying to find her father, but it’s just as much a tale of the relationship between a mother and her daughter.
Rent or purchase ‘Mama Mia!’ on Amazon. Bonus: The sequel is currently streaming on Hulu.
2. ‘Freaky Friday’
Whether you prefer the 1976 version starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster or the newer version with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan, the film forces a mother and daughter who don’t get along to better understand the other by spending a day in her shoes.
