I don't remember anything else that was too questionable.

Has anyone seen this movie yet? How was it?

have not seen the movie but I love the book and the sequel.

DD9 and I saw it in 3D last night. I enjoyed it much more than I expected. There were lots of laughs. Then came...*SPOILER AHEAD*... the roasted chickens that "came to life". I don't know why, but this REALLY icked me. It just seemed disgusting at the time. I'm sure the issue was with me, as there was a moment that I thought "I can't eat chicken ever again".

I didn't even realize it was PG, I took my just turned 4 year old last night and she loved it! We saw it in 3D....several 3D movies we saw recently really didn't have many 3D wow moments, but this one was definatly pretty cool in 3D. I thought it was cute and funny. I don't remember any bad language.

I checked it out on Screen It and the reasons my kids won't be seeing it are heavy disrespect/bad attitude and heavy imitative behavior. One phrase they mention is "holy crap balls" and I can't recall the other off the top of my head. Once again, a "family" movie comes out that COULD be appropriate for all children, but the moviemakers deliberately choose not to make it so. Frustrating.

I just took my boys (7 & 8) and we ALL loved it! Very good and highly recommended.

Howdy! Yup, we saw it last night. My mom only sees rated G movies, but she is getting braver now that DD and Dniece are both 7. Meatballs is rated PG (not sure why) We enjoyed it. My DD who is timid never crawled into my lap and the girls giggled a ton! The younger ones around us seemed to have a good time too. Enjoy
