Family Movie Review: ‘Christopher Robin’
“CHRISTOPHER ROBIN”
>> Rated: PG for some action
>> What it’s about: The beloved A.A. Milne characters are all grown up in a live-action adaptation that’s more family drama than kiddie romp.
>> The kid attractor factor: The characters of Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore et al.
>> Good lessons/bad lessons: Truthfully, capitalism is evil and keeps us from having fun. Family time is more important than work.
>> Violence: Some shots of explosions and wounded soldiers in a montage of World War II. A wild chase in the streets of London. Some fake Heffalump fighting.
>> Language: None
>> Sexuality: None
>> Drugs: None
>> Parents advisory: This is much more a staid and serious drama than child-pleasing adventure, but the characters are adorable and the sentiments are sweet. Appropriate for kids of all ages, but the younger ones may lose some interest.
