Reasons dads should watch with their kids: The poignant moments between Guido and his son are impossible to interpret as anything other than unconditional love, and the way he injects his humor at such a difficult time is truly inspiring. Your kids will laugh at Guido’s carefree spirit and well-timed jokes (just like they laugh at their own dad) but will also learn a fair amount about the seriousness of World War II. It’s an unforgettable movie that proves love and family can conquer all.
What to look out for: It deals with difficult concepts and does take place during World War II, which means guns, Nazis, and some potentially frightening situations that younger tweens might not be able to handle — save this one to watch with your teenager.
