“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 2”

Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, and for some thematic material.

What it’s about: A dystopian future where the people have risen up against the Capitol to depose evil President Snow. Hunger Games victor Katniss vows to assassinate him while being the face of the revolution.

The kid-attractor factor: It’s the final installment of the beloved global franchise based off Suzanne Collins’ young adult book series. Also, Jennifer Lawrence!

Good lessons/bad lessons: What’s really worth fighting for — family, truth and home. Katniss urges compassion and looking out for one another in the face of war.

Violence: It’s a movie about war, and so it is extremely violent. Katniss and friends fight off vicious humanoid mutts, bombs are dropped on innocent civilians and Katniss uses her bow and exploding arrows frequently.

Language: None too strong.

Sexuality: A few kisses with Gale and Peeta.

Drugs: None

Parents advisory: This is fine for teens and tweens and probably older kids who are familiar with the series. Too violent and scary for younger kids, though.

“The Night Before”

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

What it’s about: Three friends gather to celebrate their Christmas tradition — partying all night long.

The kid attractor factor: The combined star power of Seth Rogen, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Anthony Mackie, along with so-naughty-it’s-nice comedic style.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Your friends are your family; don’t leave them behind. Stop making excuses and start doing the right thing.

Violence: A few chases, some fisticuffs, a Red Bull limo crash.

Language: Plenty of swearing and strong language.

Sexuality: Some graphic nudity in a strip club scene; a wild, if brief, sex scene.

Drugs: MANY, and of all varieties. One of the subplots involves Rogen’s character’s wife gifting him a treasure trove of drugs, and how that mix affects him. If anything, it teaches the lesson that less is more when it comes to drug use. Michael Shannon plays a drug-dealing guardian angel of sorts.

Parents advisory: This would be OK for older teens, but too raunchy and too many drugs for tweens or kids.
