Family guide to new movie releases

'TOP GUN: MAVERICK'

Rated PG-13 for sequences of intense action, and some strong language.

What it’s about: The long-awaited sequel to "Top Gun" finds Maverick returning to flight school to teach the new naval aviators a thing or two about flying.

The kid attractor factor: Older kids and teens may be drawn to the high-flying action adventure.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Don't think, just act ... it's necessary for dogfighting in fighter jets, but sometimes, a little rumination on the years is a good thing.

Violence: Some perilous fighter jet action sequences involving fiery crashes and other intense and dangerous situations.

Language: Some strong language, though it's not pervasive.

Sex: An implied sex scene but no nudity.

Drugs: None

Parents’ advisory: This action film is too scary for little kids but a fun adventure for older kids and teens.

'THE BOB'S BURGERS MOVIE'

Rated PG-13 for rude/suggestive material and language.

What it’s about: This spinoff of the animated show finds the Belcher family in a wild adventure to save their restaurant.

The kid attractor factor: It's animated, and funny, and features kids in the lead roles.

Good lessons/bad lessons: One cannot save a family burger restaurant alone, we're always stronger together.

Violence: Some perilous situations

Language: No extreme swearing but some strong language and naughty, suggestive references.

Sex: None other than Tina's fervent crush on Jimmy Jr.

Drugs: None

Parents’ advisory: The mature references and language make this more suitable for older kids than younger, but it's a fun family movie that emphasizes togetherness.
