Parents, please stay away if you want to raise smart, kind-hearted children. I am very surprised Steve Carell signed on to this. It was not shown in a way that was OK with me or my husband. I do not want them exposed to the bad behavior in this movie. I so regret showing my boys, ages 8 and 11, the first half of this movie. From having very young characters calling tons of guns and bombs “cool”, to annoying and gross potty humor, to fits of jealousy, to really adolescent body humor, to the orphanage manager telling the kids they’re not worth getting adopted and such, it was just an all out horrible movie. Do not even consider watching this movie if your children are adopted!!! Our children are not adopted, but I could not believe this made it past editing and into actual production. It was really sad that people are portraying adult figures like this in the 21st-century. The adults in this movie show such disgraceful, infantile behavior. This movie is obviously designed for THAT kid in the class: the bully with the absolute worst behavior who talks back to the teacher, demands that the teacher does what HE says, the kid with the snotty, mean retorts, who disrupts class constantly. The amount of dispicable behavior in this movie by all main characters (“good” and “evil”) is just mind-boggling. At about 35 or 40 minutes, both kids were fine with shutting it off. I wanted to shut it off at the fifteen minute mark, but one of the kids wanted to keep watching. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen in my life. Contains content generally suitable for children aged 4 years and over. | RATED "U" - Universal, suitable for all. There is also some naughty and potentially imitable behaviour when a girl holds her breath until she gets what she wants, although this is not encouraged as she is seen to nearly pass out. | OTHER CONTENT ISSUES - There are infrequent emotional scenes and the theme of orphans is lightly explored. There is also infrequent rude humour, such as a couple of fart jokes and a scene where some characters photocopy their bottoms (the characters refer to them as "butts") and laugh at the resulting images, although the images aren't shown on screen. These moments are rather brief and resolved quickly, but might be slightly scary to more sensitive children. However, a few moments towards the end depict more realistic moments of characters in danger, such as children falling from great heights and being captured by a villain. MAIN CONTENT ISSUES - There are some moments of very mild threat and peril, usually comical in nature, as well as frequent slapstick violence.
