Rated PG-13, mild sexual innuendo and brief pot smoking -- should be PG
Length: 1 hr., 47 min.]]> Fri, 07 Jun 2013 12:00:00 MDT http://www.ericdsnider.com/movies/the-kings-of-summer/ http://www.ericdsnider.com/movies/the-kings-of-summer/ "Mud" and "The Kings of Summer," both now in theaters and begging to help you spend a languid afternoon reliving your youth. "Mud," with the outstanding young Tye Sheridan as an Arkansas kid who befriends Matthew McConaughey's enigmatic drifter, may be the better film -- it's richer, more polished, more thematically complex -- but "The Kings of Summer" deserves recognition for its light, often hilarious depiction of summertime boyhood and the impatience to become an adult.

Grade: C
Rated PG-13, moderate profanity including one F-word, lots of action violence
Length: 2 hrs., 10 min.]]> Fri, 24 May 2013 12:00:00 MDT http://www.ericdsnider.com/movies/the-hangover-part-iii/ http://www.ericdsnider.com/movies/the-hangover-part-iii/ "The Hangover Part II" was a lukewarm rehash of "The Hangover," almost beat-for-beat the same story, with little originality? Todd Phillips evidently heard our complaints and has addressed them in "The Hangover Part III," which is nothing like the first two and features no hangovers. It is barely a comedy. Heck, it's barely a movie.
Grade: D+
Rated R, abundant harsh profanity and vulgarity, sexual language, some violence, brief nudity
