When kids are new in town and trying to make friends, seeing a few popular movies can give them something to talk to their friends about, even if they don't understand all of the words yet. Also, sitting in a movie theater with other people will help them find out which parts are the jokes, which may not be easy to understand when watching TV or a DVD at home.
For movie information, Rotten Tomatoes gathers reviews from many different websites and newspapers. The Washington Post's weekly Family Filmgoer gives information on what films are appropriate for different age groups and why.
If you are looking for a DVD, perhaps for a playdate with a new school friend, Wall-E is an excellent film for kids still learning English. The robots communicate with sounds and body language, not words. In fact, Wall-E can also help a child understand that you don't need to know lots of words to make new friends.
