The part where ET has seemingly died is scary, as is the part at the end where the government dudes are entering the bubbled-off house with guns. It would have been a lot for my kids at 5.

I have seen it for 30 plus years so cant remember if theres any really scary parts.

I believe they say "sh!t" at least once, and someone calls a kid "penis breath."

If you care about that sort of thing.

BFG was weird-my kids didn’t like it either but had liked the book-

yeah all three read the book but sadly had to give up on the movie. Maybe they are too old? They were 8 and 11

my oldest was 13 at the time and does not like anything anyway so I am not counting him

Sad--touches on death and loss. Brought me to tears as a 12 year old seeing it in the theater. I'd look up the common sense media review.

We watched Free Willy this weekend -- son loved it.
