'THE KING'S DAUGHTER'
Rated PG for some violence, suggestive material and thematic elements.
What it’s about: In this historical fantasy epic, King Louis XIV commissions an exploratory voyage to the lost city of Atlantis to capture a mermaid for her powers of immortality, while his headstrong daughter seeks to free her new aquatic friend.
The kid attractor factor: The fantasy and adventure elements will draw a younger crowd.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Follow your heart, but only if it means setting creatures free, not trapping them in underwater dungeons to commit ritual murder.
Violence: Some action and fighting, shooting, kidnapping, perilous danger, etc.
Language: None
Sex: Some kissing
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: Okay for older kids and teens but probably too much action for little ones.
