'How to Eat Fried Worms'

Rated: PG.

Suitable for: Kindergarten through age 12.

What you should know: Billy, the new kid in fifth grade, is immediately picked on by the school bully, and Billy takes a stand that results in a dare: He will eat 10 worms, and the bully gets to make the rules about how he will do it. Can Billy, who has a weak stomach, eat the worms -- one more revolting than the last -- and give the bully his comeuppance? The film delivers messages about empowerment and standing up for yourself, as well as friendship and standing up for others.

Language: A preschooler says "penis," but otherwise this is really tame stuff.

Sexual situations and nudity: None.

Violence/scary situations: There's a disturbing scene of a teen humiliating his younger brother, and a group of boys is nearly caught trespassing by a woman who is rumored to be a witch. But this is about gross-outs -- you will see worms being cooked in all sorts of ways, followed by chewing and swallowing. Don't worry: The closing credits make it clear that "no worms were harmed in the making of this movie," although real worms do make appearances throughout.

Drug and alcohol use: None.

'Invincible'

Rated: PG.

Suitable for: Children roughly 8 and up.

What you should know: Mark Wahlberg stars in the real-life story of Vince Papale, a 30-year-old teacher and part-time bartender who tried out for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Language: One or two of the mildest words.

Sexual situations and nudity: A couple passionately kiss and then disappear behind a door.

Violence/scary situations: A man expresses his anger and frustration by pounding holes in his apartment walls. A reference is made to Papale's mother having been sick for many years. Most of the violence or scary moments come on the football field, when the hits are fast and forceful.

Drug and alcohol use: Many scenes are set in a bar and the beer and other booze flow freely.
