Tagline: "Some secrets are too big to keep hidden."
Reasons they need to see it: Stanley Yelnats's family has been cursed with bad luck for 100 years, and by the end of the film, he has reversed his family's luck through a series of crazy events. This movie proves that you can change even the most bleak of circumstances if you put your mind to it, and even if something can't be changed, per se, you can do your best to make a bad situation better.
What to look out for: There's a bit of violence — think Sigourney Weaver slapping Jon Voight across the face — and some mild language.
