Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this tween-appropriate film as comic book-style violence. All types of weapons are used (from knives to a nauseating amusement park ride), but there's never any blood or gore. The heroine, a high school-aged superhero, presents a good role model for tweens (and even younger girls), and the character is juxtaposed against a ruthless female villain whose minions occasionally drink alcohol and smoke cigarettes.There are some mildly scary scenes and Supergirl's mentor tragically dies in a brief non-graphic scene.

Sexual Content

Some kissing.

Violence

Standard comic book fights involving various weapons, but no gore.

Language

Occasional use of "s--t" and "Jesus" as an exclamation.

Social Behavior

Of course it's nice to have a female superhero in the spotlight!

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Wicked sorceress and her minions drink and smoke.
