Sick days exist in an alternate universe.
The Princess Bride / 20th Century Fox
Between your naps, tea refills, and unexpected sneezing fits, youll definitely want something comforting to watch.
The Marvels (2023)
Pure spectacle helps the medicine go down.
Watching this movie is like chugging a Gatorade.
You feel better afterwards, even though youve only ingested sugar.
This should be your #1 choice if you love cats!
The tension is never too strong as to overwhelm.
Disney
If thats not wish fulfillment, then nothing is!
It is best enjoyed from under blankets.
Paddington 2 (2017)
Some movies make you laugh; others make you gasp.
Entertainment Film Distrubutors
Then there are those likePaddington 2 that make you heal.
This movies optimistic vibes and gentle humor are like a cinematic balm for the senses.
Even Hugh Grant doesnt feel like a grating presence thanks toPaddington 2s goofy plot involving mistaken identity and marmalade.
Universal Pictures
The ending will leave you feeling buoyant and inspired.
You may even feel up to going to work tomorrow.
Youll definitely still stay in bed.
StudioCanal
Thats whyThe Princess Brideis a classic Sick Day watch for kids of all ages, even adult ones.
Oh, and its endlessly quotable!
OK, that should be enough movies to fill at least two Sick Days.
Paramount Pictures
Now, rest up and get better.
