Catholic Bishops Review: Exceptional coming-of-age heartwarmer about an introverted boy (Haley Joel Osment) who grows up during a summer spent on the Texas farm of his two eccentric uncles (Robert Duvall and Michael Caine) after being abandoned by his mother. Directed by Tim McCanlies, the film hits all the right emotional notes, resulting in an enchanting yarn about family and the transmission of values as generations change hands. Some thematic elements, sporadic mildly crude language and some action violence. A-II -- adults and adolescents. (PG) 2003

Catholic Bishops Review:
Life Is Beautiful -- Bittersweet comic fable in which an Italian Jewish bookseller (Roberto Benigni) uses his imagination to convince his little son that their grim existence in a Nazi concentration camp is just an elaborate contest and that they are sure to win the grand prize. Also co-written and directed by Benigni, the story starts off as a slapstick comedy with the young man courting his future wife, then midway becomes a touchingly human story of a parent's irrepressible determination to protect his child from terror and misery. Subtitles or dubbed. Theme of genocide. (A-II) (PG-13) ( 1998 )
