LOGAN LUCKY | FAMILY MOVIE REVIEW INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND KIDS

"LOGAN LUCKY"
(2017) (Channing Tatum, Adam Driver) (PG-13)

QUICK TAKE:: Crime Caper: Two brothers enlist the help of others in their attempt to rob money from the Charlotte Motor Speedway during a big race.

PLOT:

It's been said that bad luck afflicts the Logan family of West Virginia, and Jimmy (CHANNING TATUM) and Clyde (ADAM DRIVER) can attest to that. Clyde lost his arm in the military and now works as a bartender, while Jimmy's just lost his construction job due to an undisclosed but old leg injury. To make matters worse, his ex-wife, Bobbie Jo Chapman (KATIE HOLMES), states she's taking their daughter, Sadie (FARRAH MACKENZIE), and moving across the state line to Virginia with her new husband, auto dealer Moody (DAVID DENMAN), and his kids.

Needing money, and having recently worked under the Charlotte Motor Speedway doing construction, Jimmy convinces his sibling that they should rob the place during a big race, what with money from the event traveling through pneumatic tubes below the stadium. But they'll need help with the vault and that's where veteran criminal Joe Bang (DANIEL CRAIG) and his expertise will come in. The only problem is he's currently in prison under the watchful eye of Warden Burns (DWIGHT YOAKAM) and his guards. So the brothers, with the help of their hairdresser sister, Mellie (RILEY KEOUGH), concoct a plan to get Clyde put in jail in order to break Joe out, all while also enlisting the aid of his brothers, Fish (JACK QUAID) and Sam (BRIAN GLEESON).

They must not only contend with the complications of that, but also TV celebrity Max Chilblain (SETH MACFARLANE) who had an earlier violent encounter with the Logan brothers, as well as Special Agent Sarah Grayson (HILARY SWANK) from the FBI who shows up after the fact and wants to find out who was involved.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: Older teenagers might be interested, especially if they're fans of anyone in the cast or of films by director Steven Soderbergh.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13: For language and some crude comments.

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!!!
