Parents need to know that there is a surprising amount of profanity for a PG movie, and graphic bathroom humor. There are some scary moments as a dog chases small children. There is some boy/girl romance, with one smooch, and a more aggressive kiss where a character kisses a girl against her will. While the cast is diverse and there are some issues early on about gender equality, the film never addresses these ideas thoroughly.
Positive messages:Some social issues addressed, diversity celebrated and positive examples of teamwork.
If you saw the original, check this out, just for laughs. It's not even close to what the original was but it wasn't that bad. It's pretty much the same plot, a big dog (the Great Fear) who turns out to be gentle, a younger version of Smalls (not as good of a character, though) who's a dork. But instead of a baseball that goes over the fence, it's a model rocket!!?? And they added girls. The ending's kinda funny. (Tarquel got abducted by aliens!) But it's not as good as the first one.
this is the worst movie EVER made!!! they can't even compare to the original. it's barely even about baseball!!! the actors can't act. DO NOT EVER see this movie!!! the first one is really good though!
