Movie Review: 'Rio 2' Set to Light Up Big Screen
If you're heading to the theater with your family this weekend, don't expect "Draft Day" to make the family-friendly cut.
According to Plugged In movie reviewer Bob Hoose, the Kevin Costner and Jennifer Garner movie about a Cleveland Browns' football coach is filled with crude language and sexual references.
"Draft Day" originally earned an R-rating, but then the board changed it to PG-13 after consideration.
"The pic's piqued 'coaches' started yelling at the 'refs, insisting the call wasn't fair. And after a quick look at the instant replay-without requesting even minor content adjustments-the ratings board decided to put their flags back in their pockets and rule the play a PG-13," wrote movie reviewer Bob Hoose.
A safer choice is the animated "Rio 2." Although somewhat predictable in plot, the sequel to 2011's "Rio" starts to get better once the music starts, according to Hoose.
"So I guess you could say that 'Rio 2' manages to save the rainforest without ever raining too hard on your family's moviegoing parade.," Hoose wrote.
