Family guide to new movie releases

'SMALLFOOT'

Rated PG for some action, rude humor, and thematic elements.

What it's about: A naive Yeti learns about the big wide world through his exposure to the "smallfoot," aka a human.

The kid attractor factor: The animation, the humor, the songs, the stars voicing the cute and cuddly Yetis.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Questioning beliefs and authority is a good thing. You don't always have to do something just because someone says you have to. Learn to assess information and think for yourself.

Violence: Some adventurous action _ high-elevation falls, chases, tranquilizer guns, etc.

Language: No strong language, just some jokes about bodily functions.

Sexuality: None.

Drugs: None.

Parents advisory: A fun movie perfect for the whole family with an interesting message.

'NIGHT SCHOOL'

Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual content throughout, language, some drug references and violence.

What it's about: Salesman Teddy loses his job and heads to night school to keep up appearances with his classy fiancee.

The kid attractor factor: Teens and older kids might be drawn to the broad comedy.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Always tell the truth. Own who you are.

Violence: Some punches, kicks, and smacks _ all in the name of education.

Language: Some swearing throughout.

Sexuality: References to sex, some graphic and crude, but no on-screen sex or nudity.

Drugs: Some drug references.

Parents advisory: This naughty comedy has its raunchy moments, but it's fine for older kids and teens.
