What Parents Need to Know
About The Great Buck Howard
Parents need to know that although this eccentric comedy is fairly tame when it comes to language and nudity, it's probably not on most kids' radar. Still, tweens and teens who are into magic might actually find it interesting, though the movie's life lesson -- love what you do -- doesn't always come across clearly. Expect a bit of drinking and kissing, as well as some loud arguments and rudeness and tantrums from the main character.

Families Can Talk About
Families can talk about who the movie's target audience is. It's rated PG, but does that automatically mean that it's for kids?
- Is there a good message to take away from the movie?
- What, if anything, does Troy learn from Buck -- and vice versa?
