This September! Crawl Baby crawl!

Bara says...

Ages 12+, but every child is different

The film blends slapstick humor with themes of kidnapping and criminal activity, which requires a level of maturity to distinguish between comedy and serious moral transgressions. Mild violence and mature situational risks make it unsuitable for younger children who may view the characters' criminal choices as appropriate behavior.
