'MIDDLE SCHOOL: THE WORST YEARS OF MY LIFE'
Rated PG for rude humor throughout, language and thematic elements.
What it's about: An artsy middle schooler rebels against the strict rules at his new school.
The kid attractor factor: The kid-friendly story, stars and comedy are kid catnip.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Rules should be broken, don't stifle creativity, stand up to tyranny when you see it.
Violence: A fender bender in a BMW driven by a child, a chase scene with a motor cart, some animated violence and a few harmless pratfalls.
Language: Some mild toilet humor, references to "boobs," some references to swearing without actual swearing ("what does suck rhyme with?")
Sexuality: A kiss between middle schoolers, an obvious crush, mention of a date between the tweens, stepdad flirting with the waitress.
Drugs: None
Parents advisory: This fun-filled romp has a few mature moments but is appropriate for kids of all ages.
