At the end of a stressful workday, you probably just want to relax and watch a movie that won\u2019t stress you out even further, right? That\u2019s natural. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, sometimes movies seem like they\u2019re going to be one thing and are actually another. So, allow us to make sure you don\u2019t get tricked. We\u2019ve gone through and picked out five truly feel-good films you can watch this month, across multiple streamers.<\/p>\n

Here are the five best feel-good movies to stream in July, and where to find them.<\/p>\n

Life-Size<\/p>\n

Sometimes you just need a reminder to shine bright, shine far and be a star. \u201cLife-Size\u201d is precisely that reminder.<\/p>\n

For a long time, this was one of the Wonderful World of Disney movies that could only be found on physical media, usually hiding in a thrift store. It finally hit Disney+ last November, and there are still some people who haven\u2019t realized it\u2019s there. Now would be the time to remedy that.<\/p>\n

For those unfamiliar, \u201cLife-Size\u201d centers on Casey (Lindsay Lohan), a young girl dealing with the loss of her mother. She\u2019s withdrawn from her friends and passions, desperately seeking a way to bring her mom back from the dead. Eventually she finds one, but unknowingly performs the spell on her Eve doll (Tyra Banks) instead of her mom. What follows is a very sweet 90 minutes.<\/p>\n

Admittedly, there are a few early 2000s \u201cjokes\u201d in here that aged poorly, but in general, this is still a feel-good watch. RIP Eve, you would\u2019ve loved Greta Gerwig\u2019s \u201cBarbie.\u201d<\/p>\n

13 Going on 30<\/p>\n

Have you just finished binging \u201cThe Five Star Weekend\u201d over on Peacock and now want more Jennifer Garner in your life? That\u2019s real. And of her catalogue, \u201c13 Going on 30\u201d is the most feel-good of them all.<\/p>\n

Here, she stars as Jenna Rink, a freshly 13-year-old girl \u2014 though her tween self is played by Christa B. Allen \u2014 who desperately wishes that she could be 30 years old and living her best life. 30, flirty and thriving, as she says. But when that birthday wish comes true and she wakes up in her Jennifer Garner self, Jenna has to figure out the kind of person she\u2019s turned into.<\/p>\n

Spoilers: it\u2019s not an awesome one. She quickly realizes that after she hunts down her childhood best friend Matt (Mark Ruffalo), who reveals they are definitely no longer friends, and haven\u2019t been in years.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard not to smile during this movie, whether it\u2019s at the soundtrack, the perfect performances by everyone in it, or the fashion. \u201c13 Going on 30\u201d is currently streaming over on Netflix.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tag<\/p>\n

As we get older, we tend to naturally stop playing the games we did as kids, and often lose touch with old friends. That can be pretty depressing, but \u201cTag\u201d is the perfect antidote to that. In fact, it might inspire you to find your inner child again.<\/p>\n

The film follows a group of five men who have been playing the same game of tag since they were kids. As adults, they designate the month of May to be tag month, and literally chase each other across the country, as life has taken them all in different directions. When the one friend who\u2019s never been It threatens to retire though, the game becomes more important that ever.<\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s goofy, but at it\u2019s core it\u2019s really sweet, and comes with a bittersweet twist. What makes it even more fun is that \u201cTag\u201d is actually based on a real-life group of friends. You can watch it now on HBO Max.<\/p>\n

Corrina, Corrina<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll let you know up front on this one, the runtime is longer than it needs to be. But overall, \u201cCorrina, Corrina\u201d is a very sweet film.<\/p>\n

It stars Whoopi Goldberg as Corrina, a housekeeper who takes a job with a family that recently lost its matriarch. As a result, the couple\u2019s daughter has gone temporarily mute, and her father (Ray Liotta) needs to go back to work to continue providing for her.<\/p>\n

Corrina and the little girl develop a friendship thanks to Corrina\u2019s silliness combined with her genuine empathy, which helps the little girl grieve. Admittedly, there is an underlying story thread about race which isn\u2019t quite given the attention it deserved, especially given the runtime, but that\u2019s arguably the only real problem with this movie.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a great reminder of just how good Goldberg is as an actress, considering we don\u2019t see that side of her nearly as often these days. \u201cCorrina, Corrina\u201d is now streaming on Tubi and Plex for free.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Angels in the Outfield<\/p>\n

We are still very much in the thick of baseball season, and if you need a little hope for your team, \u201cAngels in the Outfield\u201d should do the trick. If you just need a cute story with a surprisingly stacked cast, well, it\u2019ll still do the trick.<\/p>\n

\u201cAngels in the Outfield\u201d centers on Roger (a young Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a foster child whose biological father promises that they\u2019ll be together as a family again \u201cwhen the Angels win the pennant.\u201d So, Roger prays for his team to win, and sure enough, actual angels start helping them out. Unfortunately, Roger is the only one who can see them, so he sounds crazy. But he manages to get the Angels\u2019 head coach to believe him, which leads to its own set of problems.<\/p>\n

Like we said, this movie also has a surprisingly stacked cast, from Danny Glover to a young Matthew McConaughey in a small role. \u201cAngels in the Outfield\u201d also boasts the late Brenda Fricker in its cast \u2014 at the very least, you can watch this in her memory.<\/p>\n

\u201cAngels in the Outfield\u201d is now streaming on Disney+.<\/p>\n
