Family guide to new movie releases

'THE DISASTER ARTIST'

Rated R for language throughout and some sexuality/nudity.

What it's about: The tale of the making of "The Room," the cult movie that might be the worst movie ever.

The kid attractor factor: Stars James and Dave Franco and the comedic genre will draw teens.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Although the world might not understand you, keep putting yourself out there with your whole heart and you'll be accepted. Always stick up for a friend.

Violence: None.

Language: Swearing and strong language throughout.

Sexuality: Graphic male nudity while filming a sex scene.

Drugs: None.

Parents advisory: This quirky comedy does have some nudity and swearing, but it's played for laughs _ it's fine for teens, not kids.

'THE SHAPE OF WATER'

Rated R for sexual content, graphic nudity, violence and language.

What it's about: A mute woman falls in love with a mysterious amphibian man in a Cold War-era government facility.

The kid attractor factor: This horror-love story is fantastically creative and may draw teens, but likely not kids.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Love is greater than hate or destruction.

Violence: Some moments of bloody violence _ shooting, cattle prods, torture, etc.

Language: Strong language throughout.

Sexuality: Graphic female and male nudity, masturbation, a few graphic sex scenes and references to sex.

Drugs: None.

Parents advisory: This film is beautiful and poignant, but too graphic in regard to sex and violence for younger audiences. Appropriate for mature teens only.
