Rango (2011)
A lost family pet becomes a whimsical, darkly comic sheriff in a gritty, surreal Western town.
When Rango, a lost family pet, accidentally winds up in the gritty, gun-slinging Western town of Dirt, the theater-loving lizard suddenly finds himself the newly appointed sheriff. Welcomed as the last hope the town has been waiting for, Rango is forced to play his new role to the hilt and uncover the truth behind a looming water crisis—before his act catches up with him.
How intense is Rango?
Rango has no gore and some violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is measured, and it is a family watch and a full-attention watch. The humor runs absurdist and dry. Rated PG.
