Parents’ guide to new movies

(MCT) — “Chronicle”

Rating: PG-13 for intense action and violence, thematic material, some language, sexual content and teen drinking.

What it’s about: Three teens acquire superpowers, and decide to use them for revenge, boozing it up and chasing girls.

The kid attractor factor: Teens behaving badly on an epic scale.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Emotional problems are just magnified when you gain super powers.

Violence: Quite a bit of it — bullying, child abuse, with lots of blood.

Language: Mild bits of profanity.

Sex: Sexual situations.

Drugs: Alcohol is consumed.

Parents’ advisory: Some of the language, violence and substance abuse are pretty rough and the sexual situations too frank for younger kids. OK for 13-and-up.
