Dark imagery and adult themes

Rating: 4/10 (12 March 2011)

My fiancé and I took our kids (11, 9, 8, & 3) to see this movie today. We were shocked that the previews shown on the television did not fit the movie shown and was aimed at kids. The adult themes and constant use of "hell" is definitely something that I don't expect in a kids movie. Characters openly saying "Go to Hell" and the owl mariachi band constantly saying he was going to die seemed more for "shock" value than to entertain children. Only a few minutes into it and we were wishing we had read more reviews and chosen another more "kid friendly" movie than this one. I was also expecting to see more humor because of the previews but the dark imagery overshadowed any humor they threw in between the "hells" and "dying" talk.
