G-Force

Yes, it has cute little guinea pigs who are actually tough special agent wannabes for the FBI. Yes, it has cool, high-tech spy gear. Yes, it has the requisite butt jokes all kids’ movies apparently must have. Yes, it has car chases and robots and every cliche from the secret-agent-super-spy genre. And yes, it has cute animals and cool gadgets, and what mom of small children could pass that opportunity up?

I will say this for G-Force: it stays firmly within family-friendly territory. Aside from the butt jokes and some very mild playful innuendo among the guinea pigs (as weird as that sounds), this might as well have been a Saturday morning cartoon.

G-Force is silly, innocent fluff that even delivers a wholesome message to kids about believing in self and understanding that no matter who you are, you are special. It’s easy to understand why the guinea pigs learn this lesson because after all they can talk, use computers, drive, know kung-fu, and they save the world. But what about the rest of us? What makes us special?

Take time to think about what makes you special, your family special, our town special...
