We want to know!!
There are many new movies coming out this summer, and some of them we're just not sure if we should take our child(ren) to see. Let's rely on eachother to know if the movie was kid friendly or for adult eyes only. We will list the movie, the premier date and then we will list information you send to us about the movie. Send your information to angie@funforourkids.com and let us know if you watched it, if you took the children to see it, and what your thoughts are. Please e-mail me the information, including age of your child(ren) when stating if it was appropriate or inappropriate, and I will add the information to the site. Also let us know if there is anything to watch out for (violence, sex scenes, language, etc.) This will help other parents know if they will be making a special trip to the movies this weekend or staying at home. Thanks everyone and let us know.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I have seen the latest Indiana Jones movie and it is alot of fun for older audiences. I would recommend it for ages 8 and up. There are some scenes and situations that would be scary for young children. My older daughter (16 years-old) and I really enjoyed it though. It's a bit far fetched, but that's to be expected with his movies. --Sheri (mother of 16 year old and 15 month old)
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
Iron Man
Hancock
I just saw Hancock last week-end and I do NOT recommend it for children. It's quite violent and there's inappropriate language for anyone especially children. The plot is unique and there's an unexpected twist, but I suggest renting it when it comes out instead of paying to see it in the theater, if you were really interested in seeing it. --Sheri (mother of 16 year old and 15 month old)
Kit Kittredge: An American Girl
Journey to the Center of the Earth
The Incredible Hulk
I just went yesterday with my 4-year-old little boy to watch this. He LOVES Marvel movies and this was not a disappointment for him. He was a little bored during the movie plot but the movie had his full attention whenever THE HULK came on the screen. I only had to cover his eyes once. There was a little violence and the other "monster" was a little scary looking. This is for a true fan whose parent does not mind a little violence. --Angie, website partner
WALL-E
We enjoyed the movie at Movie Tavern in Hilliard. I took my 12 year old and 8 year old. My girlfriend brought her 3 and 5 year old. It was a great movie with a lesson for all. It kept our attention and was entertaining at the same time. It had a few items just for adults to reminisce about our childhood past. This move sparked great conversation after the movie with the kids.--Kim
Kung Fu Panda
This movie was a lot of fun. I loved the value that the movie was teaching. My 4 year-old and 8 year-old both enjoyed it. It's a family movie with some underlying humor that the parents will enjoy. --Angie, website partner
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
I took my 9 year old son to see this and we loved it - but we read the book first! My younger daughters listened to the book with us, but I chose not to take them to the movie and I was glad. It was a bit intense, lots of battles (though nothing too gory or graphic - all done tastefully). The movie was really well done, but I think will not be appreciated as much by someone not familiar with the story. As usual, the book was much better than the movie! ~Elizabeth
Speed Racer
Nim's Island
Batman: The Dark Knight
THIS MOVIE IS NOT FOR LITTLE ONES! We went to the opening premier last night and let me just say, I will not be taking my 4 year-old to see this movie! I don't care how much he loves comics. There were parts in it that freaked me out! I would say...adults only. --Angie, website partner.
Mamma Mia!
This was a very cute movie. Lots of singing and dancing around. There was not much that was inappropriate other than the mention of sex in a few instances. There were some little girls from ages 12+ that were in the theater and said that they enjoyed the movie. ~ Angie, website partner
Space Chimps
Step Brothers
American Teen
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emporer
Sixty Six
The Siterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
This movie is perfect for younger teen and pre-teen girls. There was no inappropriate items in the movie at all. There was some talk about the death of one girl's mother, but was not too heavy. Very good for young girls with family and self-esteem. ~Angie, website partner
