INCREDIBLES 2 | FAMILY MOVIE REVIEW INFORMATION FOR PARENTS AND KIDS

"INCREDIBLES 2"
(2018) (voices of Holly Hunter, Craig T. Nelson) (PG)

QUICK TAKE:: Computer-Animated Action/Adventure: After once again being forced out of operation and their activities deemed unlawful, a family of superheroes break the rules and step into action to take on a new villain.

PLOT:

Despite saving Metroville from a bank robber villain known as the Underminer, the collateral damage caused by the Parr family -- Bob, a.k.a. Mr. Incredible (voice of CRAIG T. NELSON), and his wife Helen, a.k.a. Elastigirl (voice of HOLLY HUNTER) -- has once again put superheroes in a negative light. As a result, their special program is shut down and superhero activity in general is now deemed illegal. Facing potential homelessness and the need to get a job to prevent that, they agree to an offer made by telecom tycoon Winston Deavor (voice of BOB ODENKIRK). He's a big fan of theirs and wants to change the public perception of their kind, and thus hires Elastigirl to become the positive face of superheroes.

Using tech developed by his sister, Evelyn (voice of CATHERINE KEENER), Elastigirl sets out to do just that. All of which leaves Mr. Incredible at home to tend to their three kids. There's Violet (voice of SARAH VOWELL) who's sweet on fellow teen classmate Tony (voice of MICHAEL BIRD) but doesn't realize his memories of her have been erased to protect her identity; the rambunctious Dash (voice of HUCK MILNER) who can speed around at an insanely fast speeds but needs help with his math homework; and toddler Jack-Jack (sounds by ELI FACILIE) who's starting to exhibit his own and quite varied superhero powers.

Much to the chagrin of costume designer Edna (voice of BRAD BIRD) who fashioned their earlier superhero suits, Elastigirl now wears one created by Evelyn and manages to save a commuter monorail from a devious plan concocted by a new villain known as the Screenslaver who can put others under mind control. While Mr. Incredible is off to help his wife, their friend and fellow superhero, Lucius, a.k.a. Frozone (voice of SAMUEL L. JACKSON), tries to save the kids from a variety of other superheroes who are under Screenslaver's control. But with him falling prey to that just like their parents, it's up to the kids to save the day.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?: Most definitely.

WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG: For action sequences and some brief mild 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!!!
