Our tag line specifies the HAII scope: We are a Kids Movie Review Site for Parents…” But today, I’m getting ready to watch the sci-fi animated film “9,” and it brings up a curious dilemma we have here at How Annoying Is It: what is a kid, exactly? We have to draw the line somewhere, so what constitutes a kid’s movie? Do teen movies fit in?

Maybe what we’re really talking about is Family Movie Reviews. At any rate, one thing has been decided: the line will be drawn BEFORE the Twilight series, even though they are mostly marketed to teenage girls. Our reasoning is pretty simple: We don’t want to watch Twilight. Everything about the franchise makes us want to hurl. And yet, you say, we don’t want to watch Barbie movies, either. And you are right. But there actually is a difference. You see, teenagers rarely want to watch their movies with mom and dad, but younger kids will want to watch their movies at all hours of the day. So parents of teens will rarely be exposed to their Vampire nonsense.

But what about GI:Joe, Transformers 1 & 2, and movies like 9? Do they qualify? We already stretched things a bit for The Water Horse and the Star Wars Holiday Special. I think the rule of thumb should be this: If there are Action Figures, then it can be reviewed by HAII. Does that open up Avatar, the newly crowned Golden Globe winner? Probably so.
