The trailor for this movie was very deceptive - I was expecting light-hearted family fun with cute animals when I decided to bring my 7 yr old. He is a very mature 2nd grader, but I was tempted to leave mid-way through it. Between the foul language, the heavy topic of a parent's death and the son expressing his grief through violent drawings, this was not a pg film. The swearing was all gratituous, not needed to convey their messages. The 7 yr old character, who calls the inspector a "d##k", looks like she is really 4-5 so that was more disturbing. Add in the Easter Bunny bit and it was way off base for those under 10. If they wanted to make it the family movie they advertised, they could easily have cleaned up a few things and not impacted the content/message of the movie. None of the reviews I read before I went indicated that these were considerations for parents bringing children, so this will be my new first-stop in choosing pg appropriate films. Thanks!

This really is a good movie with a great story but to have the rating as PG was so off base! I had my 12 & 8 year old - great movie for my older daughter but my younger was shocked by the Easter Bunny comment. I was extremely disappointed in the language used! Didn't need it - so many other words could of been use to get the same point across. This movie really should of been rated PG13. Parents be careful with little ones - most of this move was over my 8 years old.

This movie has a wonderful message for older kids and parents, it deals with family issues and it is a bit sad for younger kids. There is a strong use of curse words inappropriate for young children. Parents need to know that during an argument scene between father and teen son the father yells at the teen, "that they have a 7 year old who still believes in the Easter Bunny". Leaving a miserable revelation in the minds of all young viewers. The movie is PG but unfortunately there is no way to preview it before taking your kids to see it. That is why sites like this are an invaluable tool.

Our 13 year old son, who wanted to see Mission Impossible instead, really enjoyed this. The tween characters were believable, and I think he related to the boy/girl interaction. :) My wife and I enjoyed it, too. If you need to, bring a hanky, though.

This movie could have been so cute, however, with the bad language should have been PG-13 easily.

Lots of language and graphic depictations of decapitation and violent drawings that are very disturbing to young children.

The language in this movie is totally NOT necessary and completely inappropriate for a PG movie. My 5 year old asked me what a D**k was after the movie. They also allude to the fact that the Easter Bunny isn't real. What a disappointment in such a wonderful movie. I would not take anyone under 10 to this film

I thought the movie would be neat to watch with all the animals, but I spent half of the movie crying. It is extremely heart-wrenching, and possibly too upsetting to younger viewers. I was surprised with the initial language (holy s****, da** it) then it got worse (a**hole, and di**)! That was too vulgar for my children to hear. I also don't like listening to words like di** from young actors. I was also disappointed that the whole Easter Bunny spoiler was in it! I mean, really? The producers know the audience is going to be mostly parents with young children, why would they ruin this movie with adult language and adult topics? I love the actors, they did a great job. The script needed to be tweaked!

Excellent family film. I took my 10 year old daughter to see it ans she loved it. I rated it as 9 an up because of the graphic nature of some of the teenage boy's artwork (dark and somewhat gory- showing deep inner pain) and the decision to have to put an aging animal down. Both things you will wan t to consider for younger children who may not be ready to process these kinds of things, but in evey other sense an excellent, positive film that focuses on the building an rebuilding of close relationships, using a healthy if unusual pathway.
