Family guide to new movie releases
Published in Parenting News
'DOG MAN'
Rated PG for some action and rude humor.
What it’s about: A half-man/half-dog cop patrols Ohkay City, fighting evil supervillains
The kid attractor factor: The silly humor and animation, plus familiarity with the book series.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Seeing the good in others might be able to help you see the good in yourself. It's OK to shake off old patterns and learn to be compassionate and empathetic. Being a do-gooder is cool.
Violence: Some perilous situations — chases, action sequences, explosions — all rendered in a lovingly childlike way.
Language: None
Sex: None
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: OK for kids of all ages.

'LOVE ME'
Rated R for some sexuality/nudity.
What it’s about: On a post-humanity Earth, a smart buoy falls in love with a satellite, bringing up questions about existence and artificial intelligence.
The kid attractor factor: None — this is more of an adult drama.
Good lessons/bad lessons: To be or not to be, that is the question.
Violence: Some allusions to extinction level events.
Language: None
Sex: A sex scene with some nudity.
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: OK for teens if they are interested. Too mature for kids.
