It's terribly sad. The characters' actions are consequenceless and everything is resolved quickly. M ovies at least make attempts to screen out inappropriate audiences. But the rating system is easily and cynically manipulated by filmmakers. O ne of the messages I'd like to convey is that parents HAVE control.
Parents can do something.
Give your child a time out. Kids want boundaries. M y kids and other kids influence what I say. Once, I took my son to see a Disney movie and he couldn't understand what was going on, and looked on with horror. I t's amazing to see the conclusions kids draw.
