I should never have allowed my 8 year old to see this! It actually shows a hostile man sexually threatening Jim Carey in a bathroom stall (and exposing himself). Talk about not doing your homework ...

My Biggest Challenge Is:
Titles You’ve Reviewed
DVD: Dumb and Dumber
I rate this titleoffand give itI was aghast
DVD: Chicken Run
I rate this titleonand give itLots of fun
This movie chronicles a group of heroic hens' efforts to escape the destiny set for them by two evil people (and all of us who eat battery-raised chicken). They are courageous and resourceful in the ...
DVD: Peter Pan (2003)
I rate this titleonand give itSexualized version of old favorite
I liked this movie a lot but was not happy with the fact that my 5 year old was seeing it with me. This Peter Pan seemed more sexualized than the Disney version. In Disney, Pan wants Wendy to be ...
DVD: The Thief and the Cobbler
I rate this titleiffyand give itNot that great
I don't think as highly of this film as the Common Sense reviewer does. The heroine/princess is straight out of Disney: childishly beautiful with inhuman physical proportions. The ...
DVD: The Yearling
I rate this titleonand give itGreat story, superbly acted
This is a very moving film, superbly acted. There are controversial aspects, for example, the mother's social disapproval of the Forresters, the family nearest the Baxters. Undoubtedly because of ...
DVD: Swiss Family Robinson
I rate this titleiffyand give itGreat adventure film
After seeing this movie as a child, the Swiss Family Robinson tree house was my favorite attraction at Disneyland. (Alas, it has since beome Tarzan's tree house.) It's a great adventure film with ...
DVD: Dumbo
I rate this titleiffyand give itSomewhat outdated but redeemed by important content
In addition to the stereotypical depiction of the "black" crows mentioned in the Common Sense review, there is also a scene of faceless but apparently African American roustabouts setting up the ...
DVD: E.T.
I rate this titleiffyand give itA great movie with a few iffy scenes.
My mother-in-law let my 4 year old watch this movie (I confess I didn't object and could have) and I'm sorry she did. Although he absolutely loves it and wants to buy it to watch all the time, at ...
DVD: Piglet's Big Movie
I rate this titleonand give itYoung kids love this movie that could bore an adult to death.
My 4-year-old loved this movie. It has some scary parts, especially where some characters seem to fall into a raging river, but he loves that kind of thing. I didn't get the impression that the ...
DVD: Peter Pan
I rate this titleiffyand give itMy kid loves this one, but I hate it.
I know I'll sound like a fanatic saying this, but I cannot handle the sexual dynamics of this old favorite. All the girls love Peter (Wendy, Tinkerbell, Tiger Lilly, and the mermaids); and they are ...
DVD: Old Yeller
I rate this titleonand give itGreat movie with a lot of scary real-life dangers.
It's hard to critcize this old chestnut, and I admit I let my 4 year old see it many times. It does have significant scary parts though, e.g., boy gets attacked by wild hogs, mother gets attacked by ...
