'The Ugly Truth' barely gets the extra 1/2! It stars Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler and maybe I was expecting a little more?
It has an interesting plot, chronicling their hatred for one another that turns into something else. It's an interesting psychological study into how we think... how we really think about the opposite sex. That's probably what gave this one a little more for me. There were also several good laughs to be had.
As for the kids, there's no nudity but the content is probably more suggestive than you want. This might be one to pre-screen.
'The Ugly Truth' was worth the watch!

The Accidental Husband ***
'The Accidental Husband' stars Uma Thurman, Colin Firth and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. I'm an Uma fan so I was kind of excited about this one.
It was pretty good. The plot obviously is a love triangle of sorts, or becomes one. I liked the story and it was well done... no loose ends.
The performances were also very solid from three veteran actors.
As for the kids, it's probably ok. There is one love scene but no real nudity. She also wakes up in bed with her fiancee' one day. Pretty tame stuff for what's usually there.
'The Accidental Husband' was a good watch... worth it, but not great.

The Taking of Pelham 123 ***
I recently watched the original 'The Taking of Pelham 123'. When a movie is redone, I like to watch the original. (I also would give the original three stars.)
This remake starring Denzel Washington and John Travolta of 'The Taking of Pelham 123' was maybe a little better than the original. The basic premise of the movie is kidnapping a subway car full of people for ransom, with a deeper even more interesting twist.
Without the really good performaces of Washington and Travolta, this could have been pretty boring. These two, however, do a great job delivering their characters. Travolta does such a great job as the bad guy. But then, you know, he does a great job in any role he tackles, including the Mom in 'Hairspray'. Who knew Vinnie Bobarino would end up being such a great, versatile actor???
All in all, 'The Taking of Pelham 123' was worth the watch. Not a great movie, but good.
It's probably ok for your kids too. There is some violence and shooting, but no more than on that video game they're playing right now.
