Parents say ( 9 ): Kids say ( 7 ): This is an entertaining, well-acted biographical drama about what could have inspired A Christmas Carol and how the classic novella changed the spirit of the season.

My kids ages 9, 12, and 16 all enjoyed it. It has a few bad words, but other than that, it is appropriate for ages 9 and above. It is inspiring and you will all be cheering for Jose Hernandez!Parents say ( 78 ): Kids say ( 267 ): This is a good-natured, albeit unrealistic, family film that both kids and adults will enjoy if they're OK with the violence, profanity, and disrespectful behavior.

Parents need to know that Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Wiig star in Masterminds, a comedy based on the true story of one of America's largest bank thefts.

Parents need to know that I.S.S. is a suspenseful thriller starring Ariana DeBose as a researcher aboard the International Space Station. It takes place entirely in space, and some teens may be fascinated by the zero-gravity lifestyle, the STEM skills on display, and the camaraderie between the astronauts….Our review: Parents say: ( 1 ): Kids say: Not yet rated Rate movie. Starting as a drug-fueled, night-out-gone-wrong story, this clever little film soon turns into a metaphysical mystery that engages and intrigues with its vivid, offbeat characters and smart dialogue. Above all, The Wave suggests that the universe, in a constant yearning for ...Parents say ( 7 ): Kids say ( 17 ): The Big Short is a flashy, quick-witted, and, yes, entertaining film about the housing and banking collapse. But it might just be a little too entertaining, a little too funny for a film that's so sobering. You laugh at all the asides -- and they are funny, though perhaps not all of them were necessary -- and ...The old-world feel, dimly lit set design, and rustic vibe are refreshing. Some of the CGI affects can feel unrealistic, but the beautiful vocals, the synchronized dance sequences, and the story's touching messages help make up for that. The soundtrack is very appropriate, soft and beautiful.The pace was quite slow and the story was not near as good and engaging as I'd hoped. However, Kirsten Dunst was terrific and Ryan Gosling was great playing a couple. Excellent acting but poor story. No excitement what so ever, even when the two are in love. Just a dark story about an unsolved murder.Red Dawn. This is a review for the movie Red Dawn. This movie is directed by Dan Bradley, starring Chris Hemsworth and Josh Peck. This movie is based on the 1984 movie of the same title. The basic idea of this movie is that the United States gets invaded and nearly conquered by the North Koreans. Hemsworth and Peck’s characters and a few ...Being a 2004 movie, there is a whole 'uncanny valley' thing happening. The animation is so good it kinda looks real, but then again it doesn't. The conductor looks just like Tom Hanks. But the blank stares in the kids eyes was creepy. They've seemingly sovled that in more modern movies but was still a problem back then.Parents say ( 12 ): Kids say ( 1 ): For fans of global agent action heroes like James Bond, Jason Bourne, or Ethan Hunt who have longed for a female version, this film is for you. Netflix, which described Heart of Stone even pre-release as an "upcoming blockbuster," clearly has a franchise in mind. That'll be just fine for Gadot's many ...Jan 29, 2023 · Don't Bother. My child didn't watch this, but no child should. Other than the terrible acting, poor storyline, and poor effects. It's centered around an extremely shallow and angry teenage girl who uses her looks to be the ring leader of a group of boys (one who is much much younger) to cyber bully others.Based on 12 parent reviews. Marcia S. Parent of 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15-year-old. May 17, 2024. age 5+. Could have been 5 Star! My family enjoyed this movie; however, it would have been great if the script didn't call for the cast and characters to flippantly use God's name. There was absolutely no need.December 5, 2023. age 15+. Instant thanksgiving classic! Thanksgiving was one of the most creative horror movies, while also keeping the 90s slasher feel. The kills were really gory, in Eli Roth's fashion, and amazingly shocking, Thanksgiving is pretty genius in the ways they put the holiday into the slasher.The show leans on edgy content and at least one mo. Positive Role Models. Rick teases and torments Morty into submission, su. Violence & Scariness. Many scenes are violent, though the animation styl. Sex, Romance & Nudity. Morty's unrequited lust for a classmate is common. Language. "Hell" and "damn" are frequent flyers.Kids say( 33 ): For all of its violence and tragedy, this is a beautiful, often exuberant movie. It has a relentless soundtrack of jazz and classic rock, and moments of humor and goodwill. Older teens and parents might enjoy this film; younger and more sensitive viewers will find it too upsetting. CASINO is a film by legendary director Martin ...Kids say ( 3 ): It may not be Lang's best film, but its power is undeniable. Metropolis is actually an atypical movie in the career of Fritz Lang, who was normally known for his crime films and dark themes of cruel fate. This film is much larger in scale and more hopeful than was usual for him.Parents say ( 92 ): Kids say ( 199 ): This Pixar film manages to be moving, entertaining, and thought-provoking. Much of the credit is due to director/co-writer Andrew Stanton, who fills the film with tributes to silent films and classic musicals. (Kudos to Burtt for adding such emotion to WALL-E's squeaks and bleeps.)Our review: Parents say ( 1 ): Kids say ( 1 ): This is a perfectly capable musical biopic, that is well-made and well-performed, but brings nothing new to a story so well-documented through the tabloids. Back to Black 's director Sam Taylor-Johnson is a safe pair of hands, and she handles the subject matter with delicacy and sensitivity.Poor Things is a film that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll, leaving you pondering the nature of consciousness, the absurdity of society, and the indomitable human spirit. Check out the details in my parents guide movie review. Poor Things was released in theaters across the United States on December 22, 2023. The film stars Emma Stone (Bella Baxter), Mark Ruffalo (Duncan ...Our review: Parents say ( 508 ): Kids say ( 2480 ): Dark, creepy, and sublimely intriguing, this 1980s throwback will remind you of many a vintage-era sci-fi/horror movie, in the most pleasant way imaginable. The cast is clad in dated '80s wear, walls are (fake) wood-paneled, phones are firmly attached to cords, and kids are free to race around ...The famous 1931 movie turned the monster into a mute, hulking beast—but one of curious pathos. But one message we learn from both is simply this: Don't play God. Because when you try, things go poorly. But in Poor Things, the message is flipped. Here, Godwin's creation is, the movie suggests, better than we are.

Directed by Craig Gillespie, Dumb Money has the same mischievous feel as his I, Tonya.Parents say ( 29 ): Kids say ( 62 ): Based on the Jane Austen novel, this film's overly dramatic music and golden-lit fields are salvaged by Keira Knightley's remarkable charm. She's well-suited to play Elizabeth. In the usual Austen pairing off, designated couples are defined, divided, and brought back together.The old-world feel, dimly lit set design, and rustic vibe are refreshing. Some of the CGI affects can feel unrealistic, but the beautiful vocals, the synchronized dance sequences, and the story's touching messages help make up for that. The soundtrack is very appropriate, soft and beautiful.

Our review: Parents say ( 49 ): Kids say ( 96 ): PIXELS may appeal to fans of Sandler, James, and '80s video games: It has a novel premise, and the action sequences can be entertaining.

Due to the graphic and intense nature of the movie, it may not be suitable for children under 12 or 13.
