Almost everyone on board is killed except for a few crew members. There's adult language and much bloody violence. Reflective kids will enjoy this tender and moving film the most, but any child trying to understand the impact of racism or the life of American Indians will be interested. The sophisticated, artsy look director Alfonso Cuaron gives this movie is the best part of it, along with the scenes between Anne Bancroft and Ethan Hawke. In general, though, the plot is frustrating, the character development weak and the script incredibly dull.
Adult language abounds, and there are a couple of violent scenes.
The film includes some funny lines and scenes, but there is plenty of nudity and pot smoking. Two bickering brothers inherit a dilapidated old mansion. But they become obsessed with eliminating a pesky mouse, and soon are destroying their treasure trove. Kids should enjoy the pratfalls, gross-out humor and the mouse. But if they need believable characters and plot, there isn't much to offer in this corny, contrived tale about five misfits at an elite private academy who free Slappy the sea lion during a field trip to the aquarium.
