PG due to language
Use of the word D--n at least 6 or 7 times, referring to a female as a "broad, " using the term, "h--l of, " and saying, "what the h--l!" When i read a review of this movie, i thought that it would be alright to show based on the comment. I've included the unsuitable language used for 5 year olds so that you can make a well informed decision without having to rent it for yourself.

a lemon all the way around
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.

Not like the book.
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.

A worthwhile family movie, but beware of language!!
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.

Great Movie
The language could have been toned down, but the overall plot overrides this, making this a very good kids movie.

Hilarious!
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!
