Custom image of PG movies for adults.
When modern audiences think of PG movies, they think of animated cartoons or straight-to-DVD live-action children's films. The last image audiences conjure up when they think of PG is that of adults dealing with grown-up problems. Even Marvel movies, originally acquired by Disney to appeal to adolescent boys, can't get a rating lower than PG-13. In fact, before Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom and Gremlins horrified children and angered parents, PG-13 didn't exist.
On its head, this film shouldn't work. There's not much of a story; the characters are one-dimensional, and there's not even a great deal of action, so it's understandable why it got a PG rating. That said, it's hard not to smile at these characters trading insults and giving off corny but memorable one-liners. The steamy romance between Maverick and his teacher was not only an 80s pop moment but also truly helped anchor what could have been another macho action film.
It's one thing for Oscar-winning veterans like Will Smith or Tom Hanks to carry a movie alone. However, for then-newcomer Suraj Sharma to anchor this film, with most of his scenes being with a CGI tiger, is truly impressive. The audience is engrossed in the dangerous and symbiotic relationship between him and the tiger, which as many jump scares as tender moments.
It's no wonder this film turned Tom Hanks into a full-blown movie star. His charismatic Oscar-nominated performance takes this simple story and turns it into a classic. Through his mannerisms and physicality, he believably sells being a child trapped in an adult's body, bringing in the bulk of the humor and charm. Not to mention, it has its fair share of adult humor, specifically around Peter's naïveté when it comes to sex.
This powerful film about the importance of taking your own path in life is one of Robert Williams's finest performances, with a subtle but intentional direction that cinephiles are still deciphering. Its cultural impact is undoubtedly the result of teens and nostalgic adults relating to the adolescents in the film, who have to choose to do what society expects of them or what makes them happy.
