Rated: PG.
Suitable for: Ages 7 and up.
What you should know: Based on the Japanese-animated 1960s cartoon, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) tears up the track in his Mach 5 race car, rendered by glittering, colorful computer-generated effects.
Language: More "jeepers" and "cool beans," but a few mild expletives creep in along with a boy giving the bad guy the middle finger.
Sexual situations and nudity: Not much. Speed and girlfriend Trixie (Christina Ricci) don't even get a full kiss until the end of the film, and Speed's little brother warns the audience for the sake of "more cootie-sensitive viewers."
Violence/scary situations: Cars hang from and eventually topple over cliffs; cars crash and explode, although the occupants survive thanks to Kwiksave Foam that encases them in a rubber ball as they're ejected from the vehicle; a bad guy beats a racer and threatens him with flesh-eating piranhas; ninjas attack the heroes.
Drug or alcohol use: Negligible.
Rated: PG-13.
Suitable for: Teens and older.
What you should know: Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher play New York strangers who go to Vegas to nurse their wounds and end up drunk and married. Plans for a quickie divorce go awry when he wins $3 million.
Language: Characters almost use the f-word a couple of times, and other milder expletives are employed.
Sexual situations and nudity: A quick montage of a couple ends with a woman in bed the next morning. Adults are shown in their underwear, some of it skimpy.
Violence/scary situations: Punches are thrown and fruit tossed, and hotel guests overreact when they find themselves sharing a room with strangers.
Drug or alcohol use: You name it -- champagne, beer, shots -- and it's consumed, often to excess.
