Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about Bo's reaction to the paparazzi's harassment. Are Bo's acts of violence at the end of the film justified? Does murder have consequences beyond capture and punishment? Parents could also discuss with teens more peaceful means of dealing with provocation.

    I rate this title on for age 11 and give it 5.0

    17+ ??? Whats up with that!?

    Okay, this movie is pretty intense but nothing more violent than Chronicles of Narnia. The movie may seen a bit to fantasy-like but the story is good and the acting is pretty good. There is no language I would not let my youngest (7) watch, maybe 5 S-words, and the sex is VERy minor!
