The kid attractor factor: Another Pixar animated feature with a starry voice cast and gorgeous design.

Drugs: None.
Parents’ advisory: A sweet and beautifully made animated feature for viewers of all ages.

'THE HITMAN'S WIFE'S BODYGUARD'
Rated R for strong bloody violence throughout, pervasive language and some sexual content.
What it’s about: Well there's this hitman... In all seriousness, this sequel to "The Hitman's Bodyguard" is about this very violent odd throuple.
The kid attractor factor: None! This action comedy is so violent and raunchy. Teens might be attracted to the genre.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Never go on vacation to Capri? Don't pick up when the hitman's calling?
Violence: This is an extraordinarily violent film. Almost nonstop shooting, fighting, explosions, car chases, etc.
Language: Strong swearing and bad language throughout.
Sex: Many, many crude sexual references and at least one sex scene (partially obscured, no nudity).
Drugs: Sedatives.
Parents’ advisory: This film is shockingly, crushingingly violent. Not for children of any age. Perhaps okay for mature teens, but try to talk them out of it any way because it's so bad.
