'CHRISTOPHER ROBIN'
Rated PG for some action.
What it's about: The beloved A.A. Milne characters are all grown up in a live-action adaptation that's more family drama than kiddie romp.
The kid attractor factor: The characters of Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore et al.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Truthfully, capitalism is evil and keeps us from having fun. Family time is more important than work.
Violence: Some shots of explosions and wounded soldiers in a montage of World War 2. A wild chase in the streets of London. Some fake Heffalump fighting.
Language: None.
Sexuality: None.
Drugs: None.
Parents advisory: This is much more a staid and serious drama than child-pleasing adventure, but the characters are adorable and the sentiments are sweet. Appropriate for kids of all ages, but the younger ones may lose some interest.
'THE SPY WHO DUMPED ME'
Rated R for violence, language throughout, some crude sexual material and graphic nudity.
What it's about: A pair of best friends hit Europe as rogue operatives after Audrey's ex-boyfriend entrusts her with completing his mission.
The kid attractor factor: Teen audiences may be drawn to the action-comedy genre and raunchy humor.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Friendship is more important than anything else, believe in yourself, be yourself and you will succeed (at being a spy).
Violence: Lots of gratuitous violence, beatings, shootouts, impalements, torture, fighting, etc.
Language: Swearing and strong language throughout.
Sexuality: Graphic frontal male nudity.
Drugs: None.
Parents advisory: Way too violent and raunchy for kids. Teens only for this one.
