The Post-Gazette reviews movies from a family perspective:

'I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry'

Rated: PG-13.

Suitable for: Teens and older.

What you should know: Kevin James is a firefighter who calls in a favor from a pal, played by Adam Sandler, when civic red tape prevents him from naming his children as insurance beneficiaries. The favor: Pretend to be domestic partners. Cast also includes Jessica Biel as a lawyer.

Language: Commonplace three- or four-letter words, plus gay slurs.

Sexual situations and nudity: A communal shower scene, with strategically placed walls, features shots of soapy naked behinds. Also, suggestive poses, women in their underwear, a man's bedroom from which a half-dozen women spill out, a shot of three people in a bed, a blow-up doll and lots of jokes about homosexuals and sex.

Violence/scary situations: Other than some fire scenes, the violence (slaps, punches) is played for laughs.

Drug or alcohol use: Beer and wine consumption, plus a joke about weed.

'Hairspray'

Rated: PG.

Suitable for: School-age children and above.

What you should know: The original 1988 John Waters film, which morphed into a Broadway musical, has become a movie again. A newcomer named Nikki Blonsky plays a plump Baltimore teen named Tracy Turnblad who dreams of dancing on a local TV show -- and integrating it, too. Cast also includes John Travolta, in drag but dancing up a storm, Christopher Walken, Michelle Pfeiffer, Queen Latifah, Amanda Bynes and Zac Efron.

Language: Nothing you wouldn't hear on TV.

Sexual situations and nudity: Pretty tame. A man (John Waters, in cameo) is a flasher, but you never see what he's flashing. Couples kiss, a dancer is about to take a nine-month leave for the unspecified but obvious reason and Travolta's zaftig mother is shown in her underwear.

Violence/scary situations: A mother tries to tame her daughter by tying her to the bed, but it's brief and played for laughs. Same with police efforts to find Tracy after she conks a cop with a protest sign.

Drug or alcohol use: A drunk is shown in a bar and, in a sign of the 1960s, there's a shot of pregnant women drinking and smoking. Teens are also shown smoking cigarettes in the girls' room at school.
