My son watches this over and over. He loves it! The violence is very cartoonish. The message is that labeling a person as lesser is wrong and that everyone is of value.
This movie is the classic underdog wins the day. It says that you don't have to be in the "in" group to be a winner.
It is ok to be who you are and use your differences and those of your friends, to solve a problem. I think more teens need this type of encouragement.
I saw this in the theatre with 4 kids, ages 6, 6, 8, 9. All enjoyed it thoroughly as did the 2 adults. It was cute, about living up to your parents expectations. Something all kids today deal with.
My son saw this when he was 7 and absolutely loves this movie. The laughter and super hero role models were an immense interest to him and remains one of his top 10 movies of all time!
We love this movie in our house. We have the DVD and we watch it whenever it's on TV. On a recent road trip, we even played a game where one person would say a line from the movie and the other people had to come up with the next line. The movie is funny for kids and adults. Just a cartoonish spoof on more violent super hero movies. We love it.
Good movie for kids... teens won't like it as much as I did, but hey, nobody's the same and that's a good thing :)
No excessive violence, sexual content, or language whatsoever. It stays true to its rating as PG... for violence, which is limited to a couple of cartoonish fight scenes, e.g. fireball throwing in the cafeteria.
My three superhero loving boys (ages 5,7 & 10) loved this movie. There was nothing I had to explain and nothing I worried they might repeat! My 2yr old daughter and 3 nieces also enjoyed it! The first movie my whole family has agreed on in years!
I took my four children ages 3 to 14 to this movie and they all really enjoyed it...even the 14 year old who thought he should see a pg13 movie instead! It was funny, action packed and entertaining for everyone!
We saw this movie with 5 kids age range 7 - 14 and it appealed to all of them. Parts of it were a bit 'cheesy' but that is to be expected in a Disney movie! It was entertaining and did a good job of showcasing cliques and the perils of high school life
Kids loved it, Mom found it predictible, but entertaining
If you're looking to be entertained, then this movie is for you. Yes, it is very predictable, but my kids didn't figure out who the mastermind was before it was revealed. Yes, the son does lie to his dad, but he comes clean a few days later. And yes, dad and son lie to mom, but I didn't think much of it. And there is one sentence about making out (but the sentence is past tense). I beleive there were 2 kisses between non-married couples (high school students). The super heros wear laytex (looks like Batman suit in recent Batman movies), but nothing you wouldn't expect to see superheros wear in any other movie.
All in all, I thought this was a nice family movie and would be willing to take my 3 and 6 year olds to see it again.
I went expecting campy - which it was, but in a very fun way. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it! It really was a movie that mom and dad could giggle at along with the kids.
Cute movie...fun for the whole family. There are good guys, bad guys, and some who aren't what they seem. Great plot...and the good guys win out! YEAH! Just a fun movie for the whole family--young and old alike.
me and my sil took kids from 2-8 yrs old and they all loved the movie, all of the adults thought it was a great kid movie, kinda cheesy at times, kinda like a modern power ranger type movie. even my 2 yr old loved it. some small violence parts where they fight but its a superhero movie you have to expect that.
