‘STEP UP REVOLUTION’

Rating: PG-13 for some suggestive dancing and language

What it’s about: Miami dancers stage flash-mob dance events to win attention.

The kid attractor factor: A fresh, young cast of very attractive dancers, cool “viral” production numbers, young love.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “Sometimes, it’s good to break the rules.”

Violence: One unfortunately-timed stunt involving smoke bombs and gas masks.

Language: Very clean for a PG-13.

Sex: A little bump, a lot of grind, a lot of skin to occupy your mind.

Drugs: A beer, here and there.

Parents’ advisory: Overall, a pretty sunny and kid-friendly dance contest picture, OK for 10-and-up.

‘THE WATCH’

Rating: R for some strong sexual content including references, pervasive language and violent images

What it’s about: Four suburban guys take on the job of running a neighborhood watch, only to confront a possible alien invasion.

The kid attractor factor: Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and that guy from “The IT Crowd.”

Good lessons/bad lessons: Well, if you can’t laugh at beer-swilling, trigger-happy Neighborhood Watchers ….

Violence: Pretty graphic, considering this is a comedy.

Language: Raunchy.

Sex: There’s an orgy, and there’s Rosemarie DeWitt.

Drugs: Beer, pot, pills, played for laughs.

Parents’ advisory: A big, broad R-rated comedy in the modern mold, entirely too violent and off-color for anybody under 13.
