• Suitable for families

“Fly Me to the Moon”

(G) — Nothing offensive in this fantasy, in which animated houseflies stow away on the historic Apollo 11 spaceflight. “Igor” (PG) — A mad scientist’s assistant (voice of John Cusack) dreams of winning an evil science fair. Mildly scary images and language shouldn’t upset children or parents. “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl,” grade B+

(G) — The doll-and-book series goes live-action, with Abigail Breslin playing a Depression-era heroine. Nothing offensive, but unemployment and homelessness may be uncomfortable. “WALL-E”

(G) — Nothing is offensive in Pixar/Disney’s latest animated moneymaker.

• Suitable for families, with reservations

“Eagle Eye” (PG-13) — Shia LaBeouf’s popularity among teenagers will make this a hit. Parents should be aware of the film’s intense action violence and occasional profanity. “Get Smart,” grade B (PG-13) — Steve Carell (“Evan Almighty”) stars in an update of the 1960s TV hit; contains rude humor, action violence and brief profanity.

• Not suitable

“Bottle Shock,” grade B+

(PG-13) — Children won’t be interested in a true story about California wines challenging French superiority. Profanity, sexual content, brief violence and lots of alcohol. “The Dark Knight,” grade A

(PG-13) — Intense violence, mature themes and Heath Ledger’s psychotic swan song as the Joker may disturb children. “Ghost Town,” grade C

(PG-13) — Strong language, sexual humor and drug references make this bland romantic comedy unsuitable for children. “Lakeview Terrace”

(PG-13) — A rogue cop (Samuel L. Jackson) threatens his new neighbors. Children need to trust police officers, don’t they? Violence, sexuality, drug references and profanity make this adults-only entertainment. “Nights in Rodanthe” (PG-13) — Children won’t find much entertainment in a sensual love story starring middle-aged Richard Gere and Diane Lane. “The Women” (PG-13) — A remake of a 1939 femme fest won’t appeal to many children. The rating is due to “sex-related material, language, some drug use and brief smoking.”

The Family Movie Guide should be used along with the Motion Picture Association of America rating system for selecting movies suitable for children. Only films rated G, PG or PG-13 are included in this weekly listing, along with occasional R-rated films that may have entertainment value or educational value for older children with parental guidance.
