The Hunger Games   
The Hunger Games

In the Kidology Forums, pheather shares:

 

Regarding The Hunger Games movie, I have parents asking me about this film. I DO NOT want to go and see it. Maybe it's me, but the plot makes my stomach turn a little. Maybe that makes for a great movie? I just don't have time for that sort of emotional and depressing output.  

 

However, SO many people from my church have gone to see it. And at least one 6th grader. Lots of youth sponsors are talking about it on Facebook.  

 

Have you seen it? What are your thoughts? What would you say to parents? Should I just give in and see it?
