The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Subtle (and not so subtle) message about the importance of being yourself.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    "Citizen Soldier" portrays the soldier as "the heroes waiting for your cries."

  • Sex:

    Some mild innuendo, nothing explicit.

  • Language:

    Not an issue.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
