What it's about

When Chloe develops a destructive new superpower, the Hero League orders her to an elite boarding school for superheroes to learn control of her abilities. Faced with the prospect of sending Chloe away for years, the Thundermans split apart, with Phoebe, Barb and Billy taking her into hiding. Max, Hank, and Nora track their rogue family members, until the two factions face off against each other in a full-on battle for the Thundermans’ future.

Why 7

• Our readingeverything is played for laughs and nobody bleeds; what holds the six is the villain who dictates thoughts and the big sister believed lost for a minute. Seven alone, six with a parent.
  reading
• Superhero fights, played for laughsLasers, a bubble gun, super speed, telekinesis, explosions and a house that collapses: the film never stops, and all of it is staged like a kids' sitcom, laugh track and pratfalls included. Nobody bleeds, nobody dies. A six-year-old may be startled by the noise and the screaming, not by what is on screen.
  shown
• A villain who controls mindsThe adversary straps headbands on her students and dictates their thoughts, and ends up taking over the little sister to turn her into her weapon. It is the most unsettling idea in the film, the one a six-year-old may keep turning over afterwards: talk about it, and it passes.
  said
• A big sister believed lostNear the end, the elder sister falls, lifeless, and her brother believes she is gone for a long minute before a magical object brings her back to her feet. Nothing harsh on screen, but a real moment of grief, worth sitting through with the youngest.
  shown
• A family that argues and comes back togetherShould the youngest be sent to a boarding school to learn to master her power? The parents disagree, the elder sister gives up her dream to stay, the little one runs off alone for a while because she feels like a burden. Words like "loser" or "idiot" between siblings, never more. Everything is settled by pulling together.

What the movie brings

• The simple pleasure of the Thundermans: a superhero family that squabbles and always makes up.
• The idea that a power, or a talent, is tamed with your own people rather than in isolation.
• A brother and sister who have to learn to be a team again, each listening to the other.
