Family reviews: 'Iron Man,' 'Made of Honor'

"Iron Man'

Rating: PG-13 for some intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, and brief suggestive content.

What it's about: A hard-partying inventor and heir to a weapons-manufacturing fortune is shown how his wares are used in the big wide world. He builds a super-charged iron suit to try to set things right.

The Kid Attractor Factor: It's Iron Man, the comic book, brought to life in the person of wise-cracking Robert Downey Jr., with action and pathos and laughs and Gwyneth Paltrow.

Good lessons/bad lessons: The way you live your life has consequences.

Violence: There are deaths, brawls, the threat of a massacre.

Language: Quite clean.

Sex: The Iron Man likes to chase skirts.

Drugs: Lots of cocktails are consumed.

Parents' advisory: A bit more adult than the Spider-Man movies, but pitched in a similar tone. A bit violent, but 12-and-ups should see that there are consequences to violence.

"Made of Honor'

Rating: PG-13 for sexual content and language.

What it's about: A lifelong ladies' man realizes that his best friend is the love of his life, and she's about to marry some Scottish guy.

The Kid Attractor Factor: Patrick Dempsey, ­Michelle Monaghan and a lot of flirting and dating.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Being reluctant to say ”I love you“ to people you love is not a sign of maturity.

Violence: A punch is thrown. And caught. On the chin.

Language: Profanity, here and there.

Sex: One-night and one-night-a-week stands by the womanizing leading man.

Drugs: A little alcohol, especially in the opening scenes.

Parents' advisory: More a date movie than something your average 12-and-under would like, it's for teens old enough to hold hands and share a box of popcorn, and their parents.
