Burt Reynolds stars as a cop forced to team up with an eight-year-old (newcomer Norman D. Golden II) who has information about the activities of a drug smuggling mobster (Ray Sharkey).

SEX/NUDITY 1 - Just some cleavage -- though neither Reynolds nor Golden seem to notice it. Reynolds and Golden share a moment in the bathroom where Golden discusses, jokingly, certain bodily functions. Also, Golden learns that the only way to hit a person bigger than he is, is to aim below the belt.

VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Violence, yes; not much blood, though. Some older kids push around younger kids at school. Standard fist fights and shooting -- just like in any TV detective show, but less violent -- and a number of standard chase scenes. However, one scene may prove scary: a strange noise wakes Reynolds in the middle of the night and he ends up pulling his gun on the kid, scaring both of them.

LANGUAGE 2 - Lots of juvenile name-calling. Indelicate references to one's posterior.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Murder and drug smuggling.

MESSAGE - Good over evil. The value of having someone to care about and having that person care about you. In an overall sense, the idea that people need people -- more accurately, that kids need someone to look up to, role models.
