What Parents Need to Know
About Cocoon: The Return
Parents need to know that this confusing sequel leaves one with a distinct "been there, done that" feeling. A muddled plot and mature themes such as sex make it inappropriate for grade-school children. If they don't get bored, the dilemmas faced by the characters may provoke thought and discussion for older kids and preteens. The important themes may hold some teens' attention, though many will likely lose interest.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how the elderly should be treated. How do you treat the elderly peole in your family? Do you make fun of older people? One man makes a huge self-sacrifice for the woman he loves. The movie's themes -- treatment of the elderly, and problems faced by the elderly -- have some value. This could be an opportunity to volunteer at a local senior center.
