 "Smurfs, Freakier Friday, The SpongeBob; the ultimate friendship films to watch in 2025")
Planning a movie night with your besties? Whether you’re craving wild laughter, heart-tugging moments, or a nostalgia trip with a modern twist, these 2025 films are packed with friendship energy. Here’s the ultimate watchlist for ride-or-die crews everywhere:
**Smurfs**The blue crew is back—and bolder than ever. This vibrant reboot takes the Smurfs out of the village and into a dazzling new world, with teamwork, mischief, and Rihanna-led musical moments along the way. It’s a quirky, colorful celebration of friendship. It’s a wholesome, silly film and perfect for a friend group who laughs through the chaos together.
Freakier Friday
Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindasy Lohan return to the reboot of the comedy film Freaky Friday on August 8th. It’s not just a body swap this time—think multi-generational chaos. With moms, daughters, and maybe even pets switching places, the film takes the classic premise to new emotional and comedic heights. Nostalgic and fresh, Freakier Friday is perfect for squads that have stuck together through glow-ups, breakdowns, and everything in between.
Zootopia 2
A November-end release, Zootopia 2 brings back Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman. Judy and Nick are back on the beat—and this time, the stakes are even higher. With a new case threatening Zootopia’s delicate harmony, the duo must rely on trust, wit, and their growing friendship to crack it wide open. The film is ideal for the gang who push each other to be braver and better—even in the face of chaos.
**The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants**Tom Kenny as SpongeBob SquarePants and Clancy Brown as Mr. Krabs are once again headed for a new adventure. This time, they are heading to the Underworld, a place where they have never gone before. He will face off against the Flying Dutchman, one of the show’s well-known villains, who has haunted the sea creatures for years. SpongeBob is set to prove his bravery to none other than Mr Krabs. Great for friends who still quote cartoons and believe in the power of a perfectly dumb idea.
