Dear John
When a jaded soldier (Channing Tatum) falls for an idealistic college girl (Amanda Seyfried) it's love at first sight. But will time and distance tear them apart?
What They're Saying:
"Mostly, the movie provides ample opportunity to admire Channing Tatum's broad shoulders and Amanda Seyfried's incandescent smile, but the narrative device that keeps them connected while geographically apart doesn't work especially well onscreen." - Variety
"Awash in mawkish sentimentality, Dear John still will move you deeply - if you're a 12-year-old girl" - Arizona Republic
Good for Kids?
The one sex scene is tame enough for tweens and teens.
From Paris with Love
Short Story:
In this action adventure, an eager young CIA agent (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) must learn to get along with his wild, wisecracking partner (John Travolta) if they're going to survive.
What They're Saying:
"[Director Pierre Morel] brings in lobotomized entertainment at 90-odd minutes. During the February doldrums, this cannot be underestimated." - Village Voice
"Travolta has/is a blast in an action-thriller-comedy that otherwise comes up short on all three counts." - HollywoodReporter.com
Good for Kids?
The intense violence makes this R-rated film best-suited for adults.
In case you missed...
When in Rome
Short Story:
When a New Yorker (Kristen Bell) travels to Italy for her sister's wedding she unknowingly sets off a spell, causing multiple men to fall madly in love with her.
What They're Saying:
"It lurches along, making Ms. Bell and Mr. [Josh] Duhamel look duller than they need to" - New York Times
"When in Rome may fall flat in places, but at least it hasn't had all the personality manicured out of it."- Salon.com
Good for Kids?
The sexual content is pretty tame, making this rom-com okay for teens.
Extraordinary Measures
Short Story:
In this inspiring true story, a father (Brendan Fraser) abandons his career and teams up with a scientist (Harrison Ford) to find a cure for his children's life-threatening disease.
What They're Saying:
"This is a remarkable story. I think the film lets them down. It finds the shortest possible route between beginning and end." -- RogerEbert.com
"The road to mediocrity is paved with good intentions." -- Arizona Republic
Good for Kids?
Rated PG, this film's safe for kids, but might not appeal to them.
The Tooth Fairy
Short Story:
As penance for bad behavior, a hockey-playing dad (Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson) is forced to take on a more feminine role: tooth fairy.
What They're Saying:
"It's one of those reliable old cast-against-type comic turns that sends the character on a funny, predictable journey of sobering revelation." -- TheAge.com
"If Johnson's previous movies are any indication, expect his naughty character to transform himself into a nice guy -- with or without wings." -- Common Sense Media
Good for Kids?
The rude humor might be questionable for the littlest viewers, but it's mostly harmless fun.
