What Parents Need to Know
About Sneakers
Parents need to know that this is a thriller, not a shoot-'em-up action-adventure, and as such, there's no gore to worry about. There is intensity in that Redford's character gets knocked out and held captive.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Robert Redford's character. Can you think of other movies where he has some of the same traits? Why do actors get typecast? Do you think actors are often like the characters they play? This may lead to a broader discussion about performers and alter egos.

"Sneakers" is one of those movies that I would allow my kids to watch with me. I happen to REALLY like Robert Redford and could basically be entertained just watching him tie his sneakers. But the rest of the cast are smart and funny, too. And Sidney Portier is simply, well, Sidney Portier...sigh. Yes the ending is a bit silly but as I said, my kids could watch this and be pretty entertained. Enjoy!
