This is not a kid's movie!!

Rating: 1/10 (2 January 2012)

I read a few reviews of this movie before taking my 8 and 6 year old nieces to see it - an adventure tale about a kid detective and his dog! Based upon the popular children's' comic! I read many headlines such as these, and then I almost took my nieces out of the theatre because the film had so much adult content. To summarize some things about this film, the "kid" detective carries a gun, a man is shot and killed within the first 20 minutes, and one of the main plot points is that one of the characters is always drunk. Kids see way too much violence in our media nowadays, what happened to funny, interesting, kid-centric PG movies? Shame on Spielberg for making a "children's" film with so much violence and adult topics. Also, because it's animated it seems that it's for children, but it's most definitely not. This should be rated PG13, DO NOT take your young children to see it.
