OUR WORD TO PARENTS: Here's a brief summary of the content found in this PG-rated documentary.
(Note: The "Our Take" review of this title examines the film's artistic merits and does not take into account any of the possibly objectionable material listed below). AL GORE appears as himself, a former politician who wants to raise awareness about global warming.Ĭurious if this title is entertaining, any good, and/or has any artistic merit?.WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG For mild thematic elements. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? If they're interested in the subject matter or Al Gore they might, but it doesn't otherwise seem too likely. Utilizing scientific fact and speculation, along with charts, before and after photos, film footage and personal views on the subject matter, the politico makes a compelling if one-side argument about the effects of humankind's impact on the environment and the potential future implications and ramifications of that. PLOT: Former Vice-President and one-time Presidential candidate Al Gore brings his long-running, multi-media presentation about global warming to the big screen. QUICK TAKE: Documentary: A filmed version of Al Gore's presentation warning about the impact that global warming will have on our and future lives on Earth.
