This PG-13 action-comedy features video game characters attacking New York with frequent explosions and fight scenes that may be intense for younger children. Language is generally mild, though some crude humor appears throughout. Despite the fun premise and video game nostalgia, the strong action violence makes it better suited for teens 13+.
