Based on 95 parent reviews

Parents say the film is enjoyable but presents significant challenges for young viewers due to mature themes and language inappropriate for its PG rating. The story, which focuses on a family coping with grief and moving on, appears to resonate better with older children and adults, while younger viewers may be confused and disturbed by the crude language and emotional depth, particularly the explicit mention of the Easter Bunny.
