 Jason Dolley of Disney
Channel's comedy series Cory in the House stars in Minutemen, a
adventure film about three high school kids who invent a time machine to spare
others from the teasing and bullying they've endured.
Minutemen
contains minimal problematic content. The kids travel back in time to help nerds
avoid embarrassing situations. For example, one boy is in the locker room and
his clothes are stolen. He has to go out in the hallway in a towel and someone
grabs it. He holds a sign in front of himself and it is implied that he is
naked, although nothing is shown. Bullying is shown momentarily in the form of
pushing. The kids use school property to build their time machine and are
discovered in the end by the FBI and must make restitution. Positive values such
as knowing one’s true friends, doing the right thing, and respecting authority
are depicted.
The PTC recommends this film
for children over the age of 10.
