The Post-Gazette reviews movies from a family perspective:

'Just My Luck'

Rated: PG-13.

Best for: Tweens and older.

What you should know: Lindsay Lohan stars as the luckiest woman in the world, whose fortunes reverse when she kisses a mysterious man at a masquerade party. He becomes the lucky one, and she's unemployed, homeless and working in a bowling alley instead of a public relations firm in New York.

Language: A smattering of mildly offensive words.

Sexual situations and nudity: Lohan kisses a series of men in an effort to find the one she bussed at the ball. A character plays a "male escort" who is arrested by the cops.

Violence/scary situations: Lohan spends much of the movie having mishaps, spills, getting a dose of errant electricity or being on the wrong end of a punch in a city lockup. Her apartment is flooded and virtually all of her belongings lost, too.

Drug and alcohol use: Adults drink either at a party or in a bar as part of a celebration.

'Poseidon'

Rated: PG-13.

Best for: Junior high students and up.

What you should know: This is based on the same book that inspired 1972's "The Poseidon Adventure," but this isn't your father's disaster pic. It uses CGI technology and is much more intense than the original.

Language: A character mouths (but doesn't say) an offensive 12-letter word, "God" is teamed with curses and some other harsh words are used.

Sexual situations and nudity: Almost none, although an overly protective father worries his 19-year-old daughter and her boyfriend will get into trouble if left alone. He later asks her to button up her top, for fear that it shows a bit too much cleavage.

Violence/scary situations: Except for the opening scenes, this movie is all about the scary situations. A man appears ready to jump overboard but changes his mind. The ship is capsized by a rogue wave, and people are tossed around or killed. Passengers who refuse to leave the ballroom eventually drown, and not everyone who tries to climb toward the surface makes it. Lots of corpses are shown along with the graphic deaths of a couple of main characters. Among those in jeopardy is a 9-year-old boy.

Drug and alcohol use: Adults fix drinks, raise champagne toasts at midnight, and one character totes his own flask and becomes drunk.
