jack black you are awesome
The good stuff * Messages: Po discovers that there's no secret ingredient to greatness -- you just have to be yourself. This positive theme resonates throughout the film. Po also has a good attitude in general, taking the Furious Five's initial chilliness in stride and ultimately giving his all to his training. The issue of eating as a coping mechanism is raised (Po has to unlearn that habit). Bad guy Tai Lung is a total bully -- but flashbacks soften his character slightly. What to watch out for * Violence & scariness: Not surprisingly, there's lots of martial arts action -- expect tons of high-flying clashes that include punches, kicks, falls, and more. That said, the fights are generally more thrilling than frightening, though they could upset kids 5 and under -- particularly the sequence in which villain Tai Lung breaks out of a maximum security prison. * Sexy stuff: Not an issue. * Language: Fairly clean, though the word "suck" is used prominently, and insults are hurled at Po by nearly everyone. Consumerism: Lots of mentions of the fictional martial arts movies that the Furious Five and other kung fu masters were in. The movie also has many promotional tie-ins. * Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not an issue.

My review on Kung Fu Panda
One of the better more interesting to watch animated movies, Kung Fu Panda is hysterical, and adorable. Po the loving, somewhat overweight panda dreams of being a kung fu master, suddenly his dreams come true when Ohway the old wise tortoise says he is the dragon warrior. Po is called fat,useless,and an embarrasment he is made fun of alot in the movie especially by Tigress (my favorite character), and Shifu. There is only one swear word used, but the violence although cartonnish is somewhat can be frightening for kids under 7 or 6. Tai Lung escapes from prison that scene is guranteed to scare sensitive kids. And Po is beaten alot not just by marcial arts, but by insults too.

Action-packed flick for kids
This was a good movie. Not as good as Shrek, but good. There is some violence, which is expected, but there isn't that much; just some cartoonish style violence. This is probably okay for younger kids 6+

Awesome Movie
This is a great movie and it is one of my favorites! It is great for all ages, but I think kids ages 7-14 would enjoy it the most. Also, it is hilarious!

Great but Kinda Violent
I love this movie to death, but there's a bit of violence in it. There's lots of punching and kicking and, though comical, is kind of intense. Take some precautions before taking young children because I'm 12 and even I was shocked when I first saw how violent it was. Still - Seth Rogen and Jack Black are my main men! HILARIOUS!!!!!!

Kung Fu Kicking Butt
This was a very funny movie that was a true underdog story. Beware of the intense violence though because there are some action sequences that involve death or injury.

A bad movie about an obese panda
A bad movie. Not much else. I hate it. It's about an extremely fat panda. Not very entertaining. I don't know why so many people like it.

A great movie with a positive message for kids!
Great movie! It has a positive message about beleiving in yourself and following your dreams, even when others say it is impossible! A lot of martial arts violence is put into this movie. It is all very mild considering that no one in real life could pull of these moves. Boys might like it more than girls! Anyway, a great movie for the entire family! Do not miss it!

Action! Action! Action!
Kung Fu Panda is literally one of the best animated films of the decade. It's fresh and original. It's also very stunning, both visually and audibly, and is probably the best Dreamworks has to offer. It's loaded with intense martial arts action, too. For fans of martial arts or CGI animation, this is for you. To begin with, Po is a lovable character and to a certain extent, relate-able. I mean, who else hasn't been told that they couldn't do something, but did it anyways and ended up succeeding? Po is a really good role model and is definitely not your stereotypical muscle-bound hero who can do anything and everything. He's just a panda, he started out as a normal individual (just like you and me), but worked his way to the top. The movie also teaches that Kung Fu is not just about violence and beating up people, it's more than that. There is no secret ingredient to something special, just believe it's special. Lessons aside, KFP is also filled with plenty of action sequences and is pretty dang awesome. However, like CSM said, it might be a bit unsettling for littler ones, but it's not really that scary. Just expect what you'd see in any other martial arts movie: kicking, punching, etc. As for language, there's hardly any, but like CSM said, the word "suck" is used a few times here and there. In the end, Kung Fu Panda stood out as a throughly enjoyable, action-packed, family film that was loads of fun to watch.
