'JUMANJI: WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE'
Rated PG-13 for adventure action, suggestive content and some language.
What it's about: Four teens find themselves magically transported into the video game Jumanji, playing as their avatars. They have to complete the quest to exit the game and get back home.
The kid attractor factor: The action-adventure genre, humor and stars will draw young audiences.
Good lessons/bad lessons: You can learn a lot about yourself going outside your comfort zone, always stick together and work as a team.
Violence: Adventure violence (motorcycle chases, fights, helicopter crashes, etc.). Nothing too bloody.
Language: A few instances of strong language or swearing, nothing too extreme.
Sexuality: A few kisses, and references to flirting, sexuality, etc. One character is quite taken with their new anatomical addition, which is played for laughs.
Drugs: None.
Parents advisory: A bit violent and mature for little kids, but fine for older kids and teens.
'THE GREATEST SHOWMAN'
Rated PG for thematic elements including a brawl.
What it's about: A raucous pop musical about P.T. Barnum and the early days of his circus.
The kid attractor factor: The rousing tunes, as well as stars Zac Efron and Zendaya, will attract younger audiences.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Always follow your dreams, but don't let them get in the way of your loved ones.
Violence: Some fighting and brawling, a fire.
Language: None.
Sexuality: An extramarital kiss and suggestion of an affair, a rather chaste romance between Efron and Zendaya.
Drugs: None.
Parents advisory: Probably too intense for very young children, but good for kids and tweens.
