BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Criminal pursuit, slapstick injuries, mild peril, and frequent dog-related mess. Family arguments and dishonest adults provide much of the conflict.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
