A parents' guide to select new movies:
'When in Rome'
Rating: PG-13 for some suggestive content.
What it's about: A young woman steals coins from a wish-for-love fountain in Rome, with comical consequences. The guys who tossed the coins fall in love with her, getting in the way of Mr. Right.
The Kid Attractor Factor: Strong fantasy element, cute Kristen Bell and adorable Josh Duhamel.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Love is about getting to know somebody, not about wishing and tossing a coin. But stalking is played for laughs.
Violence: None.
Language: None to speak of.
Sex: Not in this romance.
Drugs and alcohol: There's no such thing as an Italian wedding without wine.
Parents' advisory: A romantic comedy with training wheels, suitable for kids 10 and older.
'Tooth Fairy'
Rating: PG for mild language, some rude humor and sports action.
What it's about: A cynical, embittered hockey player is sentenced to be a tooth fairy after he lectures kids to live in the real world and not fantasize about things they might never have.
The Kid Attractor Factor: Dwayne Johnson, the cinema's ultimate plush toy, dressed as a fairy and doing slapstick.
Good lessons/bad lessons: Taking away children's fantasies ruins childhood.
Violence: It's hockey, right?
Language: Very mild language, despite the hockey.
Sex: None, although the hockey player is dating a single mom with sleep-over privileges.
Drugs and alcohol: None.
Parents' advisory: Strictly a younger kids' fantasy, with fairies and the gadgetry of fairies, plus a good message about the odds against growing up to be a star athlete. Suitable for 5 and older.
