'Shrek Forever After'

Rating: PG for mild action, some rude humor and brief language.

What it's about: Shrek sees what his world would be like if he'd never lived and must win Fiona all over again to set things right.

The kid attractor factor: The friendly green ogre does battle with witches and Rumpelstiltskin, and deals with diapers and Donkey.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Never sign a contract without reading the fine print.

Violence: Cartoon clashes.

Language: Mild-mannered profanity.

Sex: Nope.

Drugs: None.

Parents' advisory: More kid-friendly (fewer adult jokes) than previous "Shrek" sequels; suitable for 5-and-up.

'Just Wright'

Rating: PG for some suggestive material and brief language.

What it's about: Plain-Jane physical therapist falls for the NBA star she is trying to rehab.

The kid attractor factor: Queen Latifah, Common, the NBA.

Good lessons/bad lessons: Men of substance will choose character over arm candy.

Violence: None.

Language: A teensy bit of profanity.

Sex: Suggested.

Drugs: Party situations.

Parents' advisory: The basketball background will be more interesting to kids than the romance at the center of this. Best for 13-and-up
