'HIDDEN FIGURES'

Rated PG for thematic elements and some language.

What it's about: Depicts the true story of the African-American women who worked as mathematicians and engineers at NASA during the space race in the 1960s.

The kid attractor factor: The uplifting and inspiring true story and lighthearted tone are a great draw for families and kids.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Stand up for yourself and what you know to be right, ask for credit when it's deserved, and remember that some rules are made to be broken.

Violence: None.

Language: Some strong-ish language from an exasperated Mr. Harrison at NASA.

Sexuality: A kiss during a courtship, some comments about attractiveness of men.

Drugs: Moonshine drinking

Parents advisory: A definite crowd-pleaser that will inspire audiences at any age and appropriate for kids of all ages. Should be required watching for junior high and high school students.
