There are movies designed for both adults and kids. Then there are the ones for kids alone and G-Force certainly falls into that basket.
My girls felt it was something boys would prefer. There were a few girls behind me who said it was way too scary but mine are pretty sensitive and none of them flinched so I think that puts it in the safe zone.
G-Force is a fun, cute, light-hearted movie starring rodents. It’s good for kids but not so great for adults.
Susie (8):
I liked the movie but in 3D it can feel a little surprising as everything comes at you. I think it's better for kids who don't mind scary movies as there are some bits that were a little freaky. My favourite part was when the rodents got adopted from the pet shop.
Becky (6):
I liked how the rodents could talk and they always had a plan to escape. When two of them rode a skateboard it was especially funny. The 3D glasses made it feel like it was very close to me. I am not too sure I liked that as it made it a bit scarier. But the movie was good.Hide

A pleasant, inoffensive 3-D animated farce about a team of superspy gophers. Full Review
Absolutely thrilling fun, if you're 8. Full Review
There's seldom a dull moment -- but nor are there any that allow viewers young or old to invest in its elite team of furry characters to any satisfying or lasting degree despite the presence of an energetic voice cast. Full Review
Easily the best 3D actioner about guinea pig superheroes. Full Review
A fur-covered "A-Team" for the kiddies, G-Force is heavy on splashy pyrotechnics and predictably light on plot. Full Review
