BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
Dangerous waves, aggressive competitors, bullying, a past apparent death, and mild rude or suggestive humor.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
