What Parents Need to Know
About Thunderbirds
Parents need to know that this movie has a couple of mild swear words (and implied bad words), brief crude humor, and the use of wire from a bra to aid in an escape. There are some boy-girl references and a comment that a young girl is "blossoming." The characters are in frequent peril and there are a number of fight scenes, but it is not overly intense, there is no gunplay, and no one gets badly hurt, though someone gets kicked in the crotch. A strength of the movie is the portrayal of diverse characters as both bad and good guys, including characters with a speech impediment.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how kids can sometimes feel that their parents do not realize that they are ready to grow up and the importance of listening carefully. Why does Alan insult his best friend, and what does he learn from that? They may want to talk about the feeling of learning that your parents are not perfect and understanding the strengths and weaknesses of those around us -- and ourselves. What does it mean to "use your opponent's strength against him?"

Thunderbirds: Go!
"Thunderbirds" was THE kids show of the 1960s, and parts of this film successfully embrace the feel of that epic series. Best moments: Lex Shrapnel, excellent as the platinum-tressed, ever-marooned John Tracy, is so believably stricken after the attack on TB5 that it's truly chilling; Philip Winchester's giddy flights as Scott Tracy aboard TB1; Dominic Colenso handsomely graces the screen as the serious and steady Virgil; and, surprisingly, Anthony Edwards is great as a seriously funny, rubber-faced Brains. Kudos to Bill Paxton for bringing the compasionate Jeff Tracy to the screen so well, and also to Sophia Myles and Ron Cook, who steal the show as Lady Penelope and Parker. They are pink perfection! Forget reviews by the clueless and comparisons to other kids films and sign on with International Rescue again...or for the first time! This film is totally F.A.B. for you and especially for your children!

nonstop fun
My five year old daughter and I really enjoyed this movie -- there were a couple of moments she found scary, but they were brief. A diverse group of heroes with good messages about friendship and courage. And basically, just a lot of fun.
