This is a good movie for kids. I saw a box of Cap'n Crunch in a couple of scenes, and a poopy diaper.

Good for 6+
This movie is inspiring and full of positive messages that are sure to leave a good imprint on your kids' brains. However, do note: there is one brief use of d-mn ("they thought the d*mn radar gun broke!"). In a celebration scene in the locker room, a boy pelvic thrusts a few times before the camera cuts away to other celebrating boys (very brief). In the stands, a few fans make very brief suggestive dance moves. Husband and wife passionately kiss for about five seconds. Wine and beer is shown being consumed. There is some product placement; for example, a father has a long discussion with his kids at breakfast about Captain Crunch. Otherwise, nothing else! Great movie, and I recommend it for 6+ If you like this review, please say so below! Visit commonsensemedia.org/user/moviereviewguy for more of my great, complete reviews!

For young parents.
It was a good inspiring movie. I recomend this movie for young parents to watch with their child(ren). It teaches them the importance of following your dream and stay close with family. Both in your heart and in person.

Good movie, but some bad stuff.
I watched it in school; it was long and inspiring. It teaches older kids and teens about being trustworthy and being responsible. I noticed some ads, wine & beer, and some bad language.

The worst movie
In one scene a person grunted and almost said the F word thats why it should be PG for 'An almost F word'
