I don't know what their talking about their is no swears in this movie.

I asked my kids what they thought about the movie. My six year old was disappointed that it had very little to do with the book (which we loved). My ten year old said that the cats would be a little scary to little kids under age 7. The movie was sort of good, she thought. Personally, I didn't like the mean kid aspect during the boat race (bullying), nor did I appreciate the whole kidnapping theme. I'm not a big fan of movies for kids, so take this review with a grain of salt if you love kids' movies. I would have given it two stars, but I love to hear and/or see Michael J. Fox (I was a teen in the 80s), who was Stuart in this movie.

I thought this movie was awful. There were too many hells and damns and talk of 'scratching out' the main character for a young audience; and certainly it was too tedious and boring for older viewers. I watched it with my 4 yr old who thankfully didn't get what 'scratch him out' meant but she did get the underlying nasty tone of the movie. The cat, Snowball, at one point tells Stuart to 'talk to the butt.' I cringed when that came out hoping my daughter wasn't going to catch that and repeat it (which she didn't, whew!). This is not a film I would comfortably recommend for children 8 and under. Frankly I won't recommend it for anyone, it just isn't good.

Overall my children enjoyed this movie. The main theme of family and acceptance was good, and the animation was well done. However, I was a bit surprised by some of the language. Several "hells" and a "D**n" were quite obvious and didn't need to be a part of the dialogue. Had I known they were in there I'm not so sure I would have shown it to my children (ages 3-5 1/2). Some of the scenes were a bit upsetting to my 4 yr old, but with reassurance he was fine.

Viewers that have read the book might have noticed that the movie's events are only in half of the book.An instant classic!!

The infants would think it was Stewart's hell when he was trapped in a wash machine. Not for toddlers.

My parents, my 11 year old brother, & me really enjoyed this movie! It might be too scary for little kids and I don't understand why they had to put curse owrds in-but it was very well done & extremely funny! Nothing like the book-but a good movie in its own right. Great if you're not easily scared & you like to laugh!

This was a great movie, but the thing is it was only four brief swears (2 damns and 2 hells) away from a G-rating.
