Review for Moonrise Kingdom
PG-13 Drama/Romance 1:34

6-8-12
Moonrise Kingdom shows us what happens when a Kakai Scout named Sam
(Jared Gilman) and his girlfriend Suzy Bishop (Kara Hayward) run off
together because Sam no longer wants to be part of the Scout troop
because of his status as an orphan. Bruce Willis stars as the local
constable named Captain Sharp while Bill Murray stars as Suzy's
father Mr. Bishop. Will the Scout troop save themselves before
the storm arrives? (Note that this story is set in 1965, before the
advent of satellite weather forecasting.) Four stars.
This movie ranks as Iffy because it has a total of 15 mildly violent
scenes in it. There is a story of smashing a mirror, there is a
story of throwing a rock through a window and getting into a fight,
there is a man with a black eye, there is an attack off screen,
there is the aftermath of a fight, a boy is bleeding, there is a
dead dog shot with an arrow, a girl has her ears pierced with
fishing hooks, two boys get into a fight, a boy gets hit by
lightning, there is a flash flood and a shed catches on fire, there
is another lightning strike and there is a story of a storm flooding
and destroying parts of the island. There is some smoking in
this movie.
The previews include nonviolent previews for Hyde Park On The
Hudson, To Rome With Love and Beasts Of The Southern Wild, a
somewhat violent preview for Seeking A Friend For The End Of The
World and a violent preview for the possibly too violent movie Argo.
