00:00:02.580 --> 00:00:05.820
Is The Catcher Was a Spy too violent for kids?

00:00:09.860 --> 00:00:10.700
[boom]

00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:13.340
Actually, for a war movie, it's pretty tame.

00:00:13.340 --> 00:00:18.900
Based on a true story, this World War II thriller
stars Paul Rudd as an American baseball player

00:00:18.900 --> 00:00:22.840
who's trained to be a spy and sent to
Germany on a dangerous mission.

00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:25.120
"Welcome to the OSS, Mr. Berg."

00:00:25.460 --> 00:00:29.060
The movie has violence, but it's not
graphic or glamorized.

00:00:29.060 --> 00:00:31.240
One brutal fistfight is as bad as it gets.

00:00:32.580 --> 00:00:37.380
There's a bit of sexy stuff, too, but no nudity,
and some swearing, including a slur against

00:00:37.390 --> 00:00:39.989
the main character's possible sexual orientation.

00:00:39.989 --> 00:00:44.960
Mostly, this is a story about a regular guy
who uses his intelligence, empathy,

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.120
and courage to fight the Nazis.

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:48.080
"I'll be back."

00:00:48.080 --> 00:00:52.620
Common Sense says The Catcher Was a Spy is
OK for teens 15 and up.

00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:57.080
