In April 2026, Watch With Us has added three new selections to our list of the best movies you can watch for free on Tubi right now. Our first pick [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Based on the massively popular novel by Paula Hawkins, <em>The Girl on the Train<\/em> is an effective and absorbing thriller \u2014 just as long as you don\u2019t look too closely at the details. There are a lot of convenient coincidences in the movie\u2019s plot, but it mostly delivers the thrills and plot twists you\u2019d expect from a movie like this. What elevates it is Blunt\u2019s performance as Rachel, a woman who is so out of it that even she thinks she\u2019s the killer at one point. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/anne-hathaway-delivers-in-devil-wears-prada-2-movie-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>The Devil Wears Prada 2<\/em><\/a> actress was nominated for a SAG award for her performance, and she deserved it.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Serial Mom\u2019 (1994) \u2014 Tubi<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Serial Mom (1994) - Official Trailer (HD)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ut9GvlhB9f4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Beverly Sutphin (<strong>Kathleen Turner<\/strong>) is the perfect wife, mother and woman, but she has one fatal flaw \u2014 she likes to kill people. A lot. When her son\u2019s math teacher badmouths him at a PTA meeting, Beverly goes full-on <em>Psycho<\/em> and runs him over. That\u2019s just the beginning of Beverly\u2019s reign of terror, which eventually places her in a courtroom defending her crimes. But surely someone as obviously guilty as Beverly won\u2019t get away with murder. Right?<\/p>\n<p>That plot description makes Serial Mom sound like a serious film, or at least a horrific one, but it\u2019s 100 percent a comedy, and a funny one at that. Directed by <strong>John Waters<\/strong>, it skewers American middle-class values and our society\u2019s obsession with true crime and serial killers. It\u2019s also just funny on a very basic level, with gags about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/bill-cosby\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Bill Cosby<\/strong><\/a>, wearing white after Labour Day and the musical <em>Annie<\/em> that still make me chuckle all these years later.<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-narrow\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h2>\u2018In and Out\u2019 (1997) \u2014 Pluto TV<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"In &amp; Out (7\/9) Movie CLIP - Guide to Being a Manly Man (1997) HD\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xa-P9llTLM4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Howard Brackett (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/news\/who-is-phoebe-cates-husband-kevin-kline-inside-their-lasting-marriage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Kevin Kline<\/strong><\/a>) is an ordinary high school English teacher whose life gets turned upside down after a famous student of his wins an Oscar and outs him in his acceptance speech.
