[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, because what all of you are not understanding is that the core of the message to a 7 year old is abandonment.  The child in that movie is abandoned by his parents.  Your child will think "Oh, wow, will my parents do that to me? Hollywood says so" and now you have a kid with an anxiety disorder[/quote]

So for the last 20 years our society is full of kids with anxiety disorders from watching this movie?  Really ?? I grew up watching  Hansel and Gretel being baked in an  oven by the stepmother/witch and I’m a perfectly normal functioning adult !! [/quote]

+1 we talked about it with our kids… how Kevin being left like that and someone not helping him would not really happen. The rude way the whole family talks to one another. [quote]How the bad guys getting hurt is funny in the movie, but would really hurt them in real life. [/quote]My kids love it (6 and 8, watched it last year, too), but understand it does not represent reality. [/quote]

Good.  Are we supposed to hope they don't get hurt?  They're committing a home invasion.

It must be impossible to be so damn soft.  [/quote]
