It's a musical.I recoment for tweens and teens.
I think this movie was great. The songs were amazing. There was some violence,but most of it was fistfights. The characters make an occasinal "dont" but have in mind they almost all are orphans. A few cusswords are thrown around, but can go unnoticed. The characters are good rolemodels. Jack Kelly becomes a "scabber" to protect his friends. David Jacobs often tries to do whats right. However, some of the characters smoke cigars/cigarettes. David's little brother Les menchons taking a sip of beer to get a quarter. All in all, its a great movie.

It's okay...
This movie was rather disappointing to me. For me, it was boring. Be aware of the smoking and language involved!!!!

fun!
a good movie for bored teenage girls, has all the problems that titanic has: historically inaccurate, the only thing that keeps it going is teenage girls who swoon over the hot(?) newsies. fun if you have time to kill

Great for kids
I LOVED this movie. I watched at school with my class. Nothing really to worry about just some fist violence, a couple swear words, and some child smoking and drinking but they are all mild.

Postive Message, Great for Any Age
"Newsies" is very inspiring and postive. It sends a message to the viewer that you are capable of anything you put your mind to. A 10 year-old mentions him drinking beer to win a bet, though. Also, some of the boys smoke cigars, although they are a bit older. (around 14-17 yrs.)
