Why it’s a little special

The sport changes to volleyball, but the appeal remains a cheerful dog, determined kids, and wonderfully improbable teamwork.

General audiences

US film rating

Comic criminals, theft, brief danger, and slapstick. The sporting achievements are fantasy; the story also touches on a friend moving away.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
