What Parents Need to Know
About Johnny Tsunami
Parents need to know that there's no sex, violence, or language to worry about in this fun made-for-TV movie. Instead, it's full of positive messages about friendship, perseverance, and overcoming differences. It also explores the pressures of divisive attitudes and how kids are affected by -- and can rise above -- the idea that it's best for people to keep to "their own kind." And even younger kids, who may miss out on some of the finer thematic points, will enjoy the action-packed surfing and snowboarding scenes.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about peer relationships. Kids: Do you think this movie does a good job showing how tweens and teens relate to each other? Have you had any similar experiences? What situations have you been in that compare to Johnny's? How did you handle them? Would you have done anything different if you were in his shoes? If so, what?
