'Nights in Rodanthe'
Rating: PG-13 for some sensuality.
What it's about: Angry lonely man and a sad lonely woman meet and fall in love during a hurricane that sweeps the Outer Banks of North Carolina.
The kid attractor factor: Kids love Nicholas Sparks novels, right?
Good lessons/bad lessons: Life, grief and love all require the personal touch.
Violence: A hurricane.
Language: Very little profanity.
Sex: Suggested, with a little of the undressing that goes along with it.
Drugs: People do the darnedest things when they have too much wine. Or Jack Daniels.
Parents' advisory: You can bring the kids with you to this one, though 10-and-unders will be pretty bored.
•••
'Igor'
Rating: PG for some thematic elements, scary images, action and mild language.
What it's about: An evil scientist's sidekick longs to move up to evil scientist himself.
The kid attractor factor: It's a cartoon in the Nightmare Before Christmas vein.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Don't let labels and expectations limit you.
Violence: A rabbit attempts suicide, comic images of hanging and other gruesome deaths.
Language: An occasional curse.
Sex: More innuendo and double-entendre than you'd expect, though that stuff is over the heads of the youngest kids.
Drugs: None.
Parents' advisory: Too chatty for short-attention-span children, but OK for 5- to 10-year-olds.
