Does Spaceman take viewers on
a weird but kid-friendly trip? "I did not intend to frighten you, skinny human." Let's call it mature at times,
but not overly intense. Adam Sandler stars in this
thought-provoking drama about an astronaut losing his grip on reality
as he floats alone in outer space. "Six months in isolation, you
start thinking too much." The main red flag in this genre-mixing
story is the language, which includes multiple F-bombs and S-words. There are also some scenes
involving a
big-eyed spider that kids could find creepy, plus disturbing
imagery in dreams and flashbacks. As for takeaways, older audiences
might connect with the most obvious themes, namely the
importance of living in the present, not the past, and how love
must always be nurtured. "I just want to come home." Common Sense says Spaceman
is OK for teens 14 and up. For top picks and advice to fit
