'FANTASTIC BEASTS: THE CRIMES OF GRINDELWALD'

Rated PG-13 for some sequences of fantasy action.

What it's about: The sequel to "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," the characters set off to stop the evil Grindelwald from his magic fascist plot.

The kid attractor factor: The fantastical world, creatures and magic.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Do something because it's right, not because it'll make you popular or powerful.

Violence: Some magical fight scenes and peril with big giant beasties and blue bonfire monsters.

Language: None.

Sexuality: Some flirtation.

Drugs: None.

Parents advisory: Too scary for littlest kids, but magical fun for most ages.

'INSTANT FAMILY'

Rated PG-13 for thematic elements, sexual material, language and some drug references.

What it's about: A couple foster a set of three siblings and end up with an instant family.

The kid attractor factor: This is mostly appealing for women, but kids and teens might be into the family friendly humor.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Be patient, and make sure everyone you love knows how much you love them.

Violence: Some light house demo, a couple of injuries, fights, etc.

Language: Some strong language.

Sexuality: Conflicts about sexuality, including sending explicit photos, older men pursuing younger women, etc.

Drugs: References to drug use including meth.

Parents advisory: Probably won't appeal to too many kids, but fine for most ages. Too sexually mature for younger children.
