My friend said I just had to see it, she wanted to see my reaction. Quite frankly, it wasn't the reaction she'd hoped... It was not confusing in the least bit for me, but it was a bit dry {the issues Common Sense has about the sexy stuff-i didn't like that either-i found it stupid & really it just made the movie even more lame} The action was nice {i liked Dakota's outfit-it was cute} but the rest of the movie was kind of boring, predictable & easy to follow - yet still confusing in the part that it just was not as cool as it was depicted to be :( I know underage drinking is bad, but I just couldn't help laughing at this scene: "Are you drunk?" "Yup" I just like the way she says "yup" but I know drinking is bad...The rest of the movie was pretty boring...It really was not as violent as i had expected, when the movie was over i said, "so why did you want me to watch this?" my friend said "i wanted to see what you think of it" i said "eh, i've seen better, plus, for it being a violent action movie-there really wasn't that much violence" My friend said, "wow..i just didn't understand it much" she asked me some stuff after i asked what she didn't understand, i explained, & she's like "yea it was lame" LOL I don't recamend it, but well, it's up to you parents...

What Parents Need to Know
About Push
Parents need to know that this sci-fi thriller about a group of psychic "supeheroes" stars Dakota Fanning and features lots of special-effects violence. Guns and other weapons are used, people are attacked with blasts of telekinetic force, bloody wounds are shown, and overall, the atmosphere is quite grim. Characters also smoke and drink; alcohol helps Fanning's 13-year-old character "focus her visions." Expect some swearing (including "f--k") and implied sex as well.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about whether teen drinking seems less serious in a sci-fi setting. How does the movie portray Cassie's use of alcohol? Does it seem realistic? What would the consequences be in real life?
- Families can also discuss the onoing appeal of superhuman fantasies. Why are they so popular? How does this movie compare to ones like Sky High and Spider-Man?

Eh, not my kind of movie...

"too confusing, even if you do figure it out."
Am I the only one who thinks this film is a lot like "Jumper?" Everyone is mean, unlikable,rude,and not that bright. If you like movies with super powers in them I guess this qualifies.

Pretty good movie
I love this movie!!!! I just saw it for the first time yesterday. It's kinda confusing, but once i watched two times then i understood. This is deffanitly not for little kids and i think it just depends on how muture the kid is.

Don't spend the money
I watched this with my 16 year old son and if we hadn't paid to rent the movie and popped the popcorn already, we would have turned it off. It started O.K., but went down hill from there. Excessive drinking, even by Dakota's character, lots of shooting, and a suicide (gun in the mouth) controlled by one of the characters. Didn't enjoy it and neither did my 16 year old.

Well...
I watched this movie with my 10 year old best friend. This IS an action movie. Supernatural powers, mentions of WWII and Hitler, MANY GUN SCENES, lots of kissing, and violence. One line scared me so much: "Put the gun in your mouth. Pull the trigger." Followed by a gunshot and credits. Not a family movie and iffy for anyone 9 or under.

underage drinking
personally i like the movie, but it wasnt the greates movie for the kids. this is language that isnt suitable, also not to mention that the thriteen year old girl was drinking, and eventually got drunk..... hence the next morning having a hangover, also the thirteen year old was cursing just as bad as any of the other character. nontheless it was an entertaining movie, but it was kinda pushing it.

Ehhh... For superhero fans, this will be a let-down.
This was an..."ok" Movie, so it gets a C+/ B-. Don't get me wrong: I love superhero movies, and I thought that this was gonna be the cat's pajamas. And, sure enough, it had a great beginning. Loved that part, had a little bit of trouble keeping track of which powers had what title, but liked it, besides the violence, but I'll get to that later. Anyway, then the middle, came, followed by the ending, which were both confusing and weird. It didn't make sense, and was TOO COMPLICATED. The beginning was great, and made me think it was gonna be a great movie- but it turned out to be a let-down. There's just too much, and it didn't deliver. The last thing was the excessive violence- blood, gunshots, etc. People get thrown off buildings, stabbed, things explode left right and sideways, and a young child's parent is killed off screen, while another's is drugged. Also, Dakota's character gets drunk, which was odd, because she isn't good at acting drunk. Overall, it was so-so- if you like great visual effects, then go ahead. But just don't hold your breathe for plot line or character development.

GO GO GO GO!!!!
I Don't know what's wrong with everyone else but i loved this movie! I saw it when i was in sixth grade and i was totally fine! Yes blood was shown, there was plenty of violence and a 13 year old drinks and gets drunk. And sex is implied once. But over all i loved this movie, maybe beacuse the main character is hot and because i love action films, but my BFF and i saw this, and my brother saaw this a different time with my parents and they ALL loved it just as much as me. We are the family that sees every action and harry potter film there is even though i love chick flicks too. I love horror and action, and this is one of the best action films in a long time. The only thing that was even close to bad was the dude who screamed and made people's ears bleed and die, but it was more funny looking then gross. The guy's facial expression was too funny to be afraid or grossed out. My parents saw it before me because they went when i was at a friend's for a sleepover, and the only thing they said they didn't like was the attitude of the 13 year old girl. I loved this move, my friend is afraid of everything, even a cheesy movie like twlight (Don't get me wrong the love the books) so if your like her this movie isn't for you, but otherwise your fine! a 5 year old could see this and the only thing that would scare them is how loud it was in the theater! A MUST SEE!

i saw this movie with my twin 15 year old brother and mom and it was horrible. the violence language drinking and overall message was horrible. not to mention the movie itself was bad.we all hated it and in the end wished we saw another movie. a 13 year old girl is shown drinking and then drunk. also the pushers who can controll other people's thoughts told others to put the gun in their mouth and shoot one person is shown doing so and in the end another is told to do so, although you don't see it happen you here the gunshot and it is very disturbing. overall it was a bad movie and i don't suggest you see it.

This movie is like a Rube Goldberg machine: It gets in motion, a bunch of stuff happens, and you can't remember how it started by the time it ends. Obviously, it's violent and has a heavy dose of creepiness with pushers, but a kid of a certain age and maturity will be fine. The movie has okay enough acting and really pretty sets, etc.

a maybe for 11 and up if your tween isn't afraid of violence
i saw it and i'm in middle school

fun for all ages
this movie rocks. kind of cheasey lines, but it makes up for it with the special effects. i even saw some 50 year old dude walk in the theater.
