Movie Review: G-Force

July 24, 2009 by James Dunsford Leave a Comment

G Force

Rating: PG

Genre:Comedy

Release Date: July 24, 2009

Running Time: 89 minutes

Child-friendly?This Disney movie features talking guinea pigs who have been trained with secret agent skills. Though the film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer of Transformers, it is specifically geared toward children. However, some younger audience members may get frightened from the live-action 3D technology incorporated into the film. While Disney has had 3D movies before, this is the first that isn’t animated. With its PG rating, the film is probably appropriate for children aged 5 and up.

Disney has released its first live-action 3D film and it has appropriately used the idea of talking guinea pigs trained with James-Bond skills as its plot device.

While talking animals are always a popular Disney choice, parents should be aware that this film is in 3D, which means some scenes may be scary for younger children.

The plot involves a scientist (played by comedian Zach Galifianakis who leaves his Hangover film persona at home) who has trained the pigs thanks to a Homeland Security grant. However, when it appears his funding may be taken away, he unleashes his test subjects to take out billionaire Leonard Saber (Bill Nighy) who has a plan to destroy the world with household appliances.

Unfortunately for G-Force, the name of the elite team of crime-fighting guinea pigs, their mission is shut down by the U.S. government, forcing the animals to be "sentenced" to a pet shop. This brings more talking animals into the film.

Part of the draw of the film may also be the high-profile actors voicing the main characters: Sam Rockwell, Penelope Cruz, Tracy Morgan and Nicolas Cage.

The humor is fairly innocent and mainly centered on some of the animals passing gas. There is some mention of the social networking site Facebook, which may be something parents should be ready to answer questions about.ADNFCR-1662-ID-19279734-ADNFCR

Great Dad Talks

Great Dad Talks is a series of conversations with experts on all aspects of the family adventure. With the perspective that “dads don’t always think like moms,” our mission is to support dad voices and our slightly different approaches to parenting. We’ll try to find solutions to every day challenges like getting kids off the couch and making STEM classes available for both boys and girls. But we’ll also tackle bigger issues when they come. The one main theme will be to support dads in the most important role of their lives that of being a great dad.

Spinning Out Family Stress with Michael Blair
byPaul Banas

Welcome to another episode of Great Dad Talks! This week, I sit down with life coach and former psychologist Michael Blair to explore modern tools for family harmony, emotional healing, and child development.

Michael shares the transformative power of his unique “spin” method—a tool rooted in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)—that helps kids, parents, and even whole families quickly change negative emotional patterns in just minutes. Listen in as Michael walks Paul through an anxiety-busting spin live, explains why dads’ involvement is critical to healthy families, and shares actionable tips on self-forgiveness and resilience.
