The Post-Gazette reviews movies from a family perspective:

Rated: PG for some mild rude humor.

Suitable for: Grade-school kids and parents.

What you should know: John Travolta and Robin Williams play best friends and business partners forced to take care of 7-year-old twins in this slapstick Disney comedy.

Language: Nothing notable.

Sexual situations and nudity: We get an eyeful of Williams when he's stripped down to briefs for a tanning scene.

Violence/scary situations: An Ultimate Frisbee game during a Boy Scout retreat that turns violent and even bloody.

Drug or alcohol use: Williams gets drunk on margaritas during a getaway weekend in South Beach and marries a woman he's known for one night. Later, Williams and Travolta get their prescriptions mixed up and suffer comical side effects.

Rated: PG.

Suitable for: Kindergartners, especially if familiar with the book, and older.

What you should know: Roald Dahl's book of the same name has been turned into a movie using stop-motion animation and voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep and others.

Language: None.

Sexual situations and nudity: None.

Violence/scary situations: Farmers try to flush out or kill a fox family and other animals. Shots are fired (Mr. Fox loses his tail), animals caught and temporarily caged or zapped by electrified fences, and fire breaks out. A rabid dog and a rat factor into the tale. It's somewhat disturbing to watch the animals eat.

Drug or alcohol use: Champagne and alcoholic cider are consumed.
