Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this movie features racketeering, sex, (unwitting) parental abandonment, and a singular violent scene. With no nudity or extreme language, and only glimpses of blood, the director relies on suggestions and allusions to the King Arthur legend that will probably go over tweens' heads.

Sexual Content

Implied sex.

Violence

Not applicable

Language

Some mild profanity.

Social Behavior

Strong moral lead offsets sleazy minor characters .

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
