‘The Last Song’

Rating: PG for thematic material, some violence, sensuality and mild language.

What it’s about: A troubled teen finds romance and renewal when she spends the summer at her dad’s beach house.

The kid attractor factor: Miley Cyrus, making goo-goo eyes with her new off-camera flame, Liam Hemsowrth.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “People make mistakes. Even the people we love.”

Violence: Fisticuffs.

Language: The p-word, the b-word. Pretty mild.

Sex: Characters have some sexual history, but nothing on-screen.

Drugs: Alcohol.

Parents’ advisory: Not as squeaky clean as some Nicholas Sparks adaptations, but still Miley-fan friendly, OK for 10 and up.

‘Clash of the Titans’

Rating: PG-13 for fantasy action violence, some frightening images and brief sensuality.

What it’s about: Men revolt against their cruel gods and only Perseus can save them from the gods’ wrath.

The kid attractor factor: Sword and sorcery, brawls with supernatural creatures.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “The oldest stories ever told are written in the stars.”

Violence: Oh yes, decapitations, beheadings, drownings, incinerations, impalings.

Language: Medusa’s nickname rhymes with “witch.”

Sex: “Sensuality.” That Zeus, he got around.

Drugs: None.

Parents’ advisory: More violent and intense (thanks to 3D) than the Clash of Titans of yore, it’s still suitable for 10 and older.

‘Our Family Wedding’

Rating: PG-13 for some sexual content and brief strong language.

What it’s about: Two large and very ethnic families — one black, one Hispanic — meet and comically clash during the titular nuptials.

The kid attractor factor: American Ferrara, “Ugly” and “Betty” no more.

Good lessons/bad lessons: The newlywed’s mantra — “It’s our marriage, THEIR wedding.”

Violence: A cake fight or two.

Language: “Brief strong language” that you’ll miss if you aren’t looking for it.

Sex: Two words — “goat” and “Viagra.”

Drugs: A big drunk scene.

Parents’ advisory: A bit broad and low for a wedding comedy, but barely more than a PG in terms of adult content.

‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’

Rating: PG for some rude humor and language.

What it’s about: A boy narrates his comically nightmarish misadventures from his first year in middle school.

The kid attractor factor: The best-selling books come to life, or at least the big screen.

Good lessons/bad lessons: “It’s our choices that make us who we are.”

Violence: Bullies threaten it.

Language: Trips to the toilet using the milder words one uses there.

Sex: Boys stumble toward that age when they notice girls.

Drugs: None.

Parents’ advisory: Funny, irreverent, pretty faithful to the tween-centered books, this is very family friendly, potty breaks notwithstanding.

‘The Bounty Hunter’

Rating: PG-13 for sexual content, including suggestive comments, language and some violence.

What it’s about: A bounty hunter tries to bring in his ex wife, who skipped bail and missed her court date.

The kid attractor factor: Gerard Butler, a once and future Spartan. And Jennifer Aniston.

Good lessons/bad lessons: If the couple is incompatible, handcuffs won’t help.

Violence: Quite a lot of it, actually — shootings and beatings.

Language: Lots of profanity, much of it from Jen Aniston

Sex: Threatened, discussed.

Drugs: Alcohol is consumed.

Parents’ advisory: Too crass and violent for ages 12 and younger, PG-13 seems right on the mark.
