What Parents Need to Know
About Ladron Que Roba a Ladron
Parents need to know that while this subtitled caper film is warm-hearted and doles out plenty of lessons -- for starters, don't prey on the disenfranchised and don't forget your roots -- it's still about a gang of thieves stealing from someone (even if he is a despicable lowlife). In a Robin Hood way, the movie (like the Ocean's series) glamorizes what's essentially a criminal undertaking, and tweens may not grasp the nuances. In addition to the somewhat salty language (including one "f--k" and the other usual suspects), there are some fairly brutal scenes, especially toward the end, when a man is violently beaten. Characters also make ends meet by stealing (pirating videos and helping themselves to other people's pocket change).

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why heist movies like this one are so appealing. What sets the "good" cons apart from their adversaries? Why does what they're doing seem less bad than other criminal acts? Would it be different if Valdez wasn't such a thoroughly bad guy? How does the film make it seem like there's a clear difference between stealing from the rich who prey on the poor and just stealing? Are the thieves in the right or wrong? Does Hollywood glamorize crime? If so, what are the consequences of that?
