The Post-Gazette reviews movies from a family perspective:

Rated: PG-13.

Suitable for: Tweens and up.

What you should know: This is the third "Step Up" movie but first in 3-D. Like its predecessors, it romantically pairs two dancers -- one rich, one poor -- and builds to a big dance-off.

Language: A half-dozen very mild expletives, including a stronger version of "heck" and three-letter word for posterior.

Sexual situations and nudity: A couple of kisses are exchanged.

Violence/scary situations: A reference is made to a character's parents being dead, a small fire breaks out but is quickly extinguished, some dancers find themselves homeless, and a fight breaks out, but it's all pretty mild.

Drug or alcohol use: None.

Rated: PG-13.

Suitable for: Teens and up.

What you should know: Action comedy starring Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell as the "other guys," mismatched police partners who are stuck in the office, one unhappily and one happily, but find themselves in the middle of a big case.

Language: A couple of uses of profanity and three dozen or so mild four-letter expletives.

Sexual situations and nudity: Talk about a prostitution ring, a couple of racy exchanges involving a husband and wife, and references to an absent character being bisexual.

Violence/scary situations: Lots, including explosions, car chases and crashes, fatal falls, a kidnapping, physical fights, and exchange of gunfire, which leaves a couple of people shot.

Drug or alcohol use: A raunchy scene is set in a bar, where the images are frozen but unmistakable, and adults drink beer, wine, bourbon and other booze. A police case leaves a car covered in cocaine.
