QUICK TAKE:
Computer-Animated Action/Comedy: Down to his last life, a swashbuckling feline sets out to find a fallen wishing star he hopes will resurrect his expired lives.
PLOT:

After defeating a giant but losing his life in the process, feline swashbuckler Puss in Boots (voice of ANTONIO BANDERAS) learns that he's down to the last of his nine lives. Accordingly, after a run-in with Wolf (voice of WAGNER MOURA) who he believes to be a bounty hunter happy to bring him in dead, Puss follows the advice of his doctor and goes to live as a regular cat in a feline sanctuary run by Mama Luna (Da'VINE JOY RANDOLPH) where he's befriended by a dog pretending to be a cat, Perrito (voice of HARVEY GUILLEN).

When Goldilocks (voice of FLORENCE PUGH) and her family of three bears -- Mama Bear (voice of OLIVIA COLMAN), Papa Bear (voice of RAY WINSTONE), and Baby Bear (voice of SAMSON KAYO) -- show up looking for him, Puss likewise believes they're bounty hunters. They don't recognize him and leave, but not before he learns they really wanted to hire him to steal a map now in the possession of Jack Horner (voice of JOHN MULANEY).

It reportedly will lead to a fallen star that will grant a single wish, and Puss wants to find that to get back the rest of his lives. But with others also wanting that star -- including his former lover, Kitty Softpaws (voice of SALMA HAYEK PINAULT) -- Puss must go back into swashbuckler mode, thus putting him in danger of losing his last life.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
They will if they're fans of the title character from the last movie or the "Shrek" films.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG
For action/violence, rude humor/language, and some scary moments.

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!!!
