Back in 1987, Fred Savage was in this movie about some punk kid who was sick in Chicago, and then Columbo comes in his room and forces him to listen to some artsty, fartsy romance with wannabe pirates and loser tyrants. Now, here we are decades later, and Savage is still a man-boy. But, wait, this is actually a good thing. Let me start over.
So, if you are a parent and love Deadpool, but you just aren’t sure how you can let little Johnny Scratch-n-Sniff watch any of these really funny, brutal movies, 20th Century Fox has got you covered.
My son is just about to turn eleven, and of course I haven’t let him watch either Deadpool or Deadpool 2, because that would be child abuse. But apparently the studio has been hounding Ryan Reynolds since 2006 to make a PG-13 version of the films.
After much testicular torture and the promise that one dollar from each ticket sold will go to Fudge Cancer, Reynolds has given in. So, zero F’s will be given, or uttered just in time for you to win dad or mom of the year, when you take your young, impressionable future of society to see a softer, gentler Deadpool.
Funnily enough, they will only be releasing this in theaters for 12 days . . . 12 Days of Deadpool!
So, check out the teaser trailer, laugh out loud, and get ready for Christmas. And, don’t be a Scrooge – support the fight against cancer.
