momofkhm Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 DD and I were just at Blockbuster and I saw Space Camp on the shelf. I remember the basic story and I think ds would like it but it's from an era of movies where there was a lot of language and sex. There's no reason for it from what I vaguely remember of the film - a group at space camp is sitting in the space shuttle during a launch sequence, maybe to see how it feels when they are "accidentally" launched into outer space. Accidentally because a sentient robot decides the little boy really really wants to go into outer space and he decides to grant his wish. There may be a couple of teens who break curfew and kiss, but is that it? I'm looking at sex and language information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freeindeed Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 It's been a while since I watched it, but I don't recall any language or s*x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 If it is the 1986 films, this is from the IMDP site: Parents Guide for SpaceCamp (1986) More at IMDbPro » advertisement The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.

Remudamom Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 There were some teen scenes but I can't remember how bad they got. Maybe sneaking out and some smooching? It'd be easy enough to skip. I hated that movie only because that blonde in it is such an awful actress..........the one married to Spielberg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristenS Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 There are two versions of this, I think. I know Feature Films for Families distributed a version, and they only use clean movies or ones they can clean up and edit. So you might try browsing around to find one of theirs, if that helps. (I don't know if Space Camp was one they left intact or had to edit.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 There were some teen scenes but I can't remember how bad they got. Maybe sneaking out and some smooching? It'd be easy enough to skip. I hated that movie only because that blonde in it is such an awful actress..........the one married to Spielberg. Kate Capshaw, who played Andie, is Speilberg's wife; she was brunette in this movie, though she was blonde in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Kelly Preston, who played Tish, is married to John Travolta. She was blonde in Space Camp, and is a not-so-great actress. Space Camp is one of our favorite movies. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 ...and Joaquin Phoenix, back when he was Leaf. I loved Space Camp when I was a kid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom3tn Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Me too, me too! I loved that movie when I was a kid :lurk5: I had forgotten that Joaquin was in that. Now I want to watch it again, LOL. I have a Zondervan book ... somewhere around here... called "What Can We Watch Tonight?" I'm not sure how many editions of this were made, but mine only has movies in it from between 1990 and 2002. It's been a really helpful resource. -Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsmom3tn Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 How about this one: Howard the Duck Anyone remember that? My kids saw the DVD somewhere and wanted to know if it was something that they could watch. I remember it being pretty stupid, LOL, but is there anything in it that 9 and 11 year olds shouldn't see? -Angie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
