“BUMBLEBEE”
>> Rated: PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action violence
>> What it’s about: The cuddliest Transformer of all, Bumblebee, gets his own ’80s-set origin story.
>> The kid attractor factor: The young stars, comedy and action spectacle will draw kids and teens.
>> Good lessons/bad lessons: Always stick up for your loved ones, but learn to let them go, too.
>> Violence: Several action/fight scenes between Bumblebee and the Decepticons
>> Language: None
>> Sexuality: Some flirtation
>> Drugs: None
>> Parents advisory: This is family-friendly and a fun Transformers flick that will appeal to all ages — just too violent for the youngest kids.
