FAMILY MOVIE REVIEW INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND KIDS -- CONTENT REVIEW: FAST FIVE

"FAST FIVE"
(2011) (Vin Diesel, Paul Walker) (PG-13)

QUICK TAKE:: Action: A former law enforcement officer, an escaped convict, his sister and their crew try to rob $100 million from a corrupt Brazilian businessman, all while a federal agent and his team try to capture the lawbreakers.

PLOT:

Taking up where "Fast & Furious" left off, ex-cop and former FBI agent Brian O'Conner (PAUL WALKER) and his girlfriend Mia (JORDANA BREWSTER) have just freed her brother, Dominic 'Dom' Toretto (VIN DIESEL), from a prison transport bus. They end up reuniting in Rio with Dom's childhood friend and fellow car thief, Vince (MATT SCHULZE), who's arranged a job for them.

But their heist of exotic sports cars from a train goes bad when three federal agents are shot by Zizi (MICHAEL IRBY), the right-hand lieutenant of local corrupt businessman Hernan Reyes (JOAQUIM DE ALMEIDA). He isn't happy with Brian and Paul as an important computer chip of his is now missing, but those two -- after escaping from his men -- have bigger concerns, as does Mia who's just learned she's pregnant by Brian.

And that's because U.S. officials believe they're the ones who murdered the federal agents, and thus DSS agent Luke Hobbs (DWAYNE JOHNSON) arrives with his team, intent on finding and capturing the trio. With the help of local cop Elena Neves (ELSA PATAKY), they set out to do just that, unaware of the scheme that Dom has just hatched.

Having learned of Reyes' $100 million fortune, he's determined to rob the businessman of all of that and thus he and Brian assemble a team of experts to help them. That includes Roman Pierce (TYRESE GIBSON) and Tej Parker (LUDACRIS) who always bicker among themselves; Han Lue (SUNG KANG) who finds himself enticed by the alluring beauty of Gisele Yashar (GAL GADOT), and Tego Leo (TEGO CALDERON) and Rico Santos (DON OMAR). As Hobbs and his team close in, Dom and his crew plot, practice and then try to pull off what seems like an impossible task, especially after Reyes moves all of his money into a heavily fortified police station.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: If they're fans of the film series and/or anyone who appears in this movie, they probably will.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13: For intense sequences of violence and action, sexual content and language.

I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
