NightSide - Is The Movie "The Hunger Games" Okay For Kids To See?

BOSTON (CBS) - The books were aimed at kids, and were even assigned in many classrooms across the country. But as the movie puts up huge numbers at the box office, many are wondering what the appropriate age to see this movie should be. Rated PG-13, the movie features kids ages twelve to eighteen battling each other to the death as the rest of the country watches the games for entertainment. How old would your child have to be for you to take them to this movie? Is seeing the movie worse than reading the books?

Originally broadcast April 6th, 2012.
