Family Film Guide: 'This Is It'
Thursday, October 29, 2009

The Post-Gazette reviews movies from a family perspective:

'This Is It'

Rated: PG.

Suitable for: School-age children who can sit attentively through a 112-minute movie and appreciate its subject matter.

What you should know: This is a documentary showing rehearsals for Michael Jackson's sold-out tour, canceled after his June 25 death. It celebrates what would have been a spectacular show.

Language: None.

Sexual situations and nudity: Some suggestive dancing and a bit of crotch grabbing, kept to a minimum here.

Violence/scary situations: We see ghostly brides and grooms -- props -- that would have moved through the aisles during "Thiller." New footage being shot for "Thriller" has creepy costumed characters rising or roaming through a cemetery.

Drug or alcohol use: None.
