Parents need to know that this 3-D adventure is sure to attract kids who can't resist talking animals, high-stakes action, and a hefty dose of silly gags and potty humor (especially a constantly farting guinea pig). Expect lots of action and some peril; the villain turns home appliances into killer robots, and there's a disturbing/sad reference to a character who might have been killed by a garbage truck (but it's not confirmed). Language includes mild insults like "stupid" and "dumb" and comments about how "hot" the female guinea pig is.
Educational value:A couple of lessons about teamwork and friendship.
Positive messages:The G-Force works as a team to accomplish their missions, evenafter they discover they aren't really "genetically engineered" super-animals.The villain also realizes that not all humans are evil and repents for hiswrongdoing.
Positive role models:The G-Force teammates are brave and willing to act selflessly for the good of the country. On the flip side, a couple of characters are greedy and/or want to cause harm on a massive scale -- but they're also shown as being clearly in the wrong.
Violence & scariness:Although no one actually dies, there's a scene in which an animal character seems to be swallowed up by a garbage truck; he's later referred to as dead. Lots of action involving covert missions to break into a home, secure important information from a target, and a high-octane car chase. The movie's climax involves weaponized appliances that turn into evil, Transformers-like robots bent on destruction. At one point, a lighter sets a flatulent guinea pig's behind on fire.
Sexy stuff:The male guinea pigs all flirt with Juarez, and there are discussions of her being "hot" and whether she's "interested" in the guys. She talks about "guys" on Facebook, and the relationship jokes continue throughout the movie.
Language:Mild insults like "dumb," "stupid," "farty," "ugly," etc., plus other phrases that some may find inappropriate -- like "pimp my ride," "shut up," "look at my butt," "hot girlfriend," etc. There's also a use of "oh my God" and a good bit of scatological humor regarding one flatulent character.
Consumerism:A reference to "Barbie" and quick glimpses of cars and computers (including a shot of a Facebook page), but nothing overt.
This movie was terrible!!!! I cannot believe that it got a great rating! Throughout the whole movie, there was no humor at all!! It might be good for kids that are about three. The commercials only show the better parts. I would give this book a C-.

Two 7 yr olds and mom thought it wasn't that funny. That the best part was the silly mice. And that it was unfortunate that the most memorable thing was the phrase "poop in his hair, poop in his hair". Definitely wasn't worth theatre prices and the theatre didn't even show it in 3D.
I thougth this movie was fine for my son's age group (he's 7). I was a bit annoyed at the whole "she's hot, who is she interested in" bit because it is not something 7-year-olds need to think about, and it gave a distorted, manipulative view of relationships, but honestly, I don't think my son particularly noticed. There were some good action scenes, and while the ending is really weak, I had a good time overall. I even laughed a couple of times ("You're driving angry!" "Yes I am!"). My son enjoyed himself a lot. We saw the 2D (missed the time for the 3D), but it was good anyway.
Kids are asked to watch a story about an evil mole with a desire to dominate the world with computer chips in destructive appliances... does that sound like a good theme for a movie? It's not. It has the faint smell of The Incredibles, and sadly, makes me think less of The Incredibles now that I reflect. Instead of seeing this movie, just make some popcorn and lemonade.
Parents may find their children begging for a guinea pig after seeing this movie. Speaking as an owner of 2 pigs and an educator, I would like everyone to consider a few things. Pigs are very social, require lots of attention, daily cage cleaning, lots of food (hay and veggies too), are noisy, very temperature and diet sensitive (can pass away in hours if not properly cared for). Many actions are portrayed in the movie which actual pigs are not safe doing such as: jumping, swimming, using a running ball (may break their back), a running wheel in their cage (can break back or toes), being caged/housed with other species of animals or a pig of the opposite sex. Two pigs require at least a 10 sq. ft. cage to be happy and healthy. The small cages you see in pet stores will simply depress your pig. Pigs should be taken out for daily exercise and should not be handled by small children as they are apt to jump out of their arms if startled.
Please do your research before considering a pig in your home.
guns car crashes and talking animals all take place in this movie it is about an animal fbi secret agent team trying to fight a man named Leonard Saber he is a moneyman trying to make more money and must be defeated
A good movie for little kids, not so much for older tweens and teens
Honestly, i dont think this movie was that good at all. i was actually a little bored throughout the movie and got sick of all the flirting and sexy stuff between the guinea pigs. but i do think that little kids will enjoy this movie and also find it funny and cute.
We took our girls to see G-Force this past weekend. My overall feeling was that the movie was inappropriate for children under ten(I'm including music). The sexiness associated with the female and the gray one trying to gain her affection was unnecessary. Some of the slang I wouldn't want my kid using and worst of all for us was the music. We LOVE the song JUMP. I went to itunes and downloaded it. It is by Flo Rida and Nelly Furtado. That was a red flag to me but I thought since it was for a Disney movie it would be ok. The chorus is great but the verses are very inappropriate. They love it but I can't let them listen to it now that I have looked at the lyrics and deciphered them. There are references to drinking alcohol, getting high and sexual references about females. I had to go to urbandictionary* for help. Black-eyed peas have some music in the movie as well I think. Disney did a wonderful job with the movie UP but G-Force lacks good judgement. Don't waste your money, wait until it's in the Red Box if you really want to see it.
I was concerned about the visual allusion to cigarette smoking: one of the guinea pig characters breifly balances a food pellet on his lower lip, much like Marlon Brando. It was in no way contributory to the story line or the plot and sufficiently subliminal to have escaped detection by most parents.
like transformers and a part of being dead for a bit.

Ok i have to say it was a fun movie but.......
when they told the guy who was keeping them, that the mole got crush in the garbage truck i think it was too sad a little bit. at the end when they see that the mole turned on them that was a little sad and he mad his whole personality TOTALY DIFFERENT. but he realized that what he is doing is wrong. so the team gets the capachino makers out like a tranformer the the mole helped them get all the capachino makers back to normal and get all the chips out. So it ends well. but not a movied I'd see again.
First-graders being typically six, this movie is inappropriate for them. I don’t know how anybody can really think it is a good idea for small children to learn about having girlfriends, about girls being “hot,” how to say vulgar words and the word “pimp,” and how to tell people to shut up. Let them watch this and get read to squirm when you hear, “Mommy (or Daddy), what does ‘pimp’ mean?”
This movie is a family film i would aprove it for anyone from the age of 4 and up. It is not because the movie has bad content in any way shape or form. It is just that it may have some violent scenes between the good and bad and animals that young children may be afraid of. I gave this movie the rating of fine i did this because even though it is a good film it deffinatley would not fall into the catogory of one of the best movies i have ever seen. Again this is not because it was a bad movie it is just my personal opinion.Thank you for reading this review and i hope it gives you a good idea of wheather or not to let your kids watch it!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you will read some more of my reviews thank you once again!!!!!!!!!! Bye!!!!
Action, adventure, a bit of flirting and phrases that parents may not like. This movie is great for any spy movie-loving people no matter how much the age and depending on how mature they are.
While G-force tries to appeal to all audiencinces, Mom and Dad may be concerned on showing this to thier young children. One hamster sticks a pellet in his mouth like it's a cigar. The same one, who is a main charecter, says, "pi** my ride." The plot has to do with computer viruses and files that turn electrical appliances into killing machines against man-kind. Which may confuse tiny kids. It is funny though, and kind of one of those "cute" movies.
