Stardust
Rating -- PG-13
What it's about -- A star falls and a man promises it to his fickle girlfriend, only to discover the star is, herself, pretty cute.
The Kid Attractor Factor -- A quick-witted fantasy for those in the process of outgrowing Harry Potter.
Good lessons/bad lessons -- Your fantasy love may keep you from seeing the real thing, right under your nose. And even in alternate universes, safe sex is a must.
Violence -- More than you'd like, as assorted princes are killed off.
Language -- Very clean.
Sex -- An unplanned pregnancy.
Drugs -- Potions and ale.
Parents' advisory -- Skews a bit older than the Potter books, but this whimsical fantasy has "a movie for the whole family" written all over it, despite its rating.
Underdog
Rating -- PG
What it's about -- A beagle is genetically altered into a superhero, foiling the mad scientist and his henchman.
The Kid Attractor Factor -- A talking dog who does amazing feats of stretch and speed.
Good lessons/bad lessons -- None to speak of.
Violence -- Slapstick.
Language -- Disney clean.
Sex -- Innocent flirtation, even among the dogs.
Drugs -- Formulas, injected.
Parents' advisory -- Harmless enough, but bears little resemblance to the original cartoon and spends too much time worried about a dog's waste disposal system.
