Violence: None
Language: Some swearing.
Sex: References to sex and a sex scandal.

'DUST BUNNY'
Rated R for some violence.
What it’s about: A young girl hires an assassin to kill the monster under her bed.
The kid attractor factor: While this fantastical world about monsters under the bed featuring a young female heroine seems like a kid-friendly movie, it's too violent and scary for younger audiences.
Good lessons/bad lessons: We all have monsters that we have to learn to live with.
Violence: Some scary and violent scenes featuring a monster eating humans, and assassins killing each other and fighting with guns and knives.
Language: None
Sex: None
Drugs: None
Parents’ advisory: Too violent for kids. OK for teens.
