Our take
Henry Danger: The Movie brings the Nickelodeon TV hero to the big screen with cartoonish supervillain battles and comic peril. Expect mild profanity, fantasy weapons, and silly humor rather than realistic violence. Some body-image and mental-health jokes appear lightly. Good for elementary fans of the show
Uplifting themes
Teamwork and responsibility carry the hero story Henry tries to protect his city and his friends
Story (may spoil tone)
Henry Hart meets a superfan—eager to fight crime with Kid Danger—who comes into possession of a device that can open up alternate realities. Facing a wild ride, Henry will need his best friend Jasper and his new superfan sidekick to find his way out or be stuck in another dimension forever.

Talk after watching
- Henry balances normal teen life with being a hero. What would be hard about that double life?
- Superhero comedies exaggerate everything. How can you tell when danger is played for laughs?
