Will the life lessons in Mack
& Rita resonate with teens?

00:00:04.130 --> 00:00:05.775
[Music plays]

00:00:05.775 --> 00:00:09.579
"I grew up always feeling like
I was an older woman trapped

00:00:09.579 --> 00:00:11.129
in the body of a little girl."

00:00:11.129 --> 00:00:13.490
Yeah, especially if they
watch with a grandparent.

00:00:13.490 --> 00:00:14.869
"Girl, you go!"

00:00:14.869 --> 00:00:18.410
Diane Keaton headlines this
fun age-swapping comedy

00:00:18.410 --> 00:00:21.230
about a young woman who's
magically transformed into

00:00:21.230 --> 00:00:22.720
her 70-year-old self.

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:23.859
"Oh my god!"

00:00:23.859 --> 00:00:26.750
The movie does a great job
of using humor to help defy

00:00:26.750 --> 00:00:30.170
the labels and prejudices
associated with ageism.

00:00:30.170 --> 00:00:33.077
Its big message is that people
should appreciate the here

00:00:33.077 --> 00:00:35.890
and now, rather than obsessing
over the future.

00:00:35.890 --> 00:00:37.149
[Music plays]

00:00:37.149 --> 00:00:40.379
Another plus is how friendships
are portrayed as positive and

00:00:40.379 --> 00:00:44.390
supportive, as well as inclusive
across race, age, and sexuality.

00:00:44.390 --> 00:00:45.390
[Music plays]

00:00:45.390 --> 00:00:49.329
As for iffy stuff, expect heavy
drinking and a long, comical

00:00:49.329 --> 00:00:53.556
mushroom trip, plus kissing,
sex jokes, and rude language.

00:00:53.556 --> 00:00:54.785
[Woman shrieks]

00:00:54.785 --> 00:00:59.559
Common Sense says Mack &
Rita is OK for teens 14 and up.
