Bumblebee in a scene from “Bumblebee.”

“BUMBLEBEE”

>> Rated: PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action violence

>> What it’s about: The cuddliest Transformer of all, Bumblebee, gets his own ’80s-set origin story.

>> The kid attractor factor: The young stars, comedy and action spectacle will draw kids and teens.

>> Good lessons/bad lessons: Always stick up for your loved ones, but learn to let them go, too.

>> Violence: Several action/fight scenes between Bumblebee and the Decepticons

>> Language: None

>> Sexuality: Some flirtation

>> Drugs: None

>> Parents advisory: This is family-friendly and a fun Transformers flick that will appeal to all ages — just too violent for the youngest kids.
