Johnny Knoxville, left, stars as Irving Zisman and Jackson Nicoll as Billy in “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa.”

“JACKASS PRESENTS: BAD GRANDPA”

Rating: R for strong crude and sexual content throughout, language, some graphic nudity and brief drug use.

What it’s about: Johnny Knoxville, in old-age makeup, and a kid drive across country staging bad parenting/dirty-old-man pranks on the unsuspecting.

The kid attractor factor: Johnny Knoxville’s big, crude and sometimes painful pratfalls.

Good lessons/bad lessons: People who “get involved” in other people’s parenting get punked.

Violence: Slapstick stuff, threats.

Language: Profanity, some of it from a small boy.

Sex: Genital jokes and genital sight gags, a male stripper review.

Drugs: Crack jokes, alcohol is consumed, allegedly by the kid.

Parents’ advisory: Seriously subversive and sophomoric. Too crude for the very young; OK for 13-and-up.

“CARRIE”

Rating: R for bloody violence, disturbing images, language and some sexual content.

What it’s about: The bullied daughter of a religious fanatic gets even at prom.

The kid attractor factor: It’s a high school revenge fantasy starring Chloe Grace Moretz.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Mend your bullying ways before it’s too late.

Violence: Yes, and quite bloody.

Language: Teenagers and teachers curse.

Sex: Some.

Drugs: Alcohol is discussed.

Parents’ advisory: Decidedly anti-bullying, it’s still the violent “Carrie” you remember from the ’70s. OK for 15-and-up.
