It's for Kids

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2001)

This movie has one demographic -- the 6 to 14-year-olds who still think "gross" is "cool." There's PLENTY of that, and few, if any, moments when a to-be-pitied parent will have the Sesame-Street-like experience of "Oh, wonderful -- a joke they put in for MY benefit that my kid won't get!" Sorry, Mom and Dad, but for this movie you will probably find yourself wishing you could be balancing your checkbook instead. There's nothing to worry about in terms of harming your child, though, so it's safe to send your kids to with their friends instead of with you. Just make sure they know to avoid strangers and keep their eyes on the movie. When they come home and tell you all about it (and they will), you'll feel like you haven't missed a thing. And you'll be glad you didn't have to see it.
