Our take
Clash of the Thundermans is a short family superhero movie. A girl's new power scares the adults, the family splits, and they end up in a mild showdown. No sex, nudity, or drug use stored. Fine for most kids 8 and up who already watch this kind of TV. Sensitive younger kids may find the family fight loud
Uplifting themes
A family argues, then has to choose each other over a rule that would split them for years Siblings and parents keep showing up for the kid whose power is out of control
