”JUNGLE CRUISE”

Rated PG-13 for sequences of adventure violence.

What it’s about: Based on the Disney ride, this is a throwback adventure romance in which a scientist searches the Amazon for a legendary flower with healing properties.

The kid attractor factor: Kids will be drawn to the adventure tale, humor and stars Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Never judge a book by its cover, and always follow your heart.

Violence: Some sequences of action and peril, some scary sequences of haunted conquistadors, some injuries and impalings (no gore).

Language: None.

Sex: A kiss.

Drugs: None.

Parents’ advisory: A fun adventure movie for the whole family. Maybe a bit too intense for little kids.

”STILLWATER”

Rated R for language.

What it’s about: An Oklahoma man fights for his daughter, imprisoned in Marseille, France.

The kid attractor factor: This is an adult drama, not much kid factor here.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Life can be brutal and beautiful. Remember the good times, which can still be good, even if they’re over.

Violence: A beating scene, references to murder, kidnapping.

Language: Some swearing.

Sex: References to sex, a sex scene (not graphic).

Drugs: References to drug dealing and use.

Parents’ advisory: This is an adult drama so kids will not be too intrigued, but it’s not too mature for teens and tweens.
