User Reviews Parents say Kids say. Adult Written by DanielleD March 3, Plus, much of the movie that a 14 year old might "get" would likely go over a 9 year old's head and it wouldn't be as enjoyable.
I would definitely say to watch it with your kids if they are going to be seeing it for the first time if they are 13 or 14 as there are definitely some good teaching moments in it and some points where valuable discussion that can be had. This title contains: Language. Helped me decide. Adult Written by JennyBeet February 11, Ugh - the 80s This was a favorite when I was a teen but a recent viewinf shows how much context matters. In my kids are tuned in to a more inclusive kind of humor and content.
Adult Written by reddie stan April 5, I'm saying age 10 and up because there's some language elements and a nude scene but it's not in a sexual way or anything. Various uses of f-ck, sh-t, d-ck, and some others but as long as your kid won't go around saying all of it, you should be fine.
There's also some drug use but it's not like your child is going to go buy a billion cigarettes after watching. Had useful details. Adult Written by rapplebottoms September 9, This title contains: Positive Messages.
Read my mind. Adult Written by Tyler L. July 9, Adult Written by Tandy71 May 12, Culture has changed so certain scenes containing world perspectives about sex, And being less respective to others feelings. So remember it's a time capsule from decades,past.
Adult Written by Tylyndah April 28, Great movie for teens This movie is great for teens! Adult Written by dvdgirl April 23, Not bad. Not bad came out a year before I was even born. Good movie. Adult Written by Carrie L. November 8, But as a parent now I forgot about the details Really funny movie.
But they have the rating wrong. Adult Written by Pres October 15, I think John Hughes was a Pedohile Completely naked teen girl in shower. Close up of breasts and bottom and entire head to toe.
Lots of sex. Just gross! These are teen kids!!! Adult Written by amwolfer12 April 6, It is hilarious, but it should be PG13! There are also a few scary situations that young audiences may find difficult to watch—you know, as tends to be the case in movies about ghosts. It's a story about a little kid Barret Oliver caught up in the story of another kid on a great adventure. Kids love it, in part because it doesn't sanitize things or shy away from the gritty parts of Atreyu's Noah Hathaway epic journey.
Like Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones , there's death, violence, and heartbreak. But nothing in Middle-Earth or Westeros is as scary as the scene in which Atreyu's beloved horse Artax unexpectedly—and slowly—drowns in the appropriately named Swamp of Sadness.
There's also the incredibly creepy amorphous force known only as "the Nothing. Nearly 40 years after its original release, Grease is still a sleepover staple, and the stage version is probably being performed this weekend at a high school near you. At its heart it's a simple story about two people who find true love once they get out of their own way and stop listening to their friends' terrible advice.
It's also a story about how, in order to get someone to like you, you have to change everything you are. That's not the best message to send to kids—and it's all the more unseemly for a PG-rated, kid-friendly movie to demonstrate that idea by ending with a previously chaste teenage girl making herself over with a leather catsuit, smoking a cigarette, and calling her boyfriend "stud" before she gyrates with him in the "Shake Shack. Heck, the crude, sexist lyrics to "Greased Lightning" alone warrant a stricter rating.
Just because a movie is given an okay-for-kids rating it doesn't mean that it's actually something they'd actually be interested in seeing.
What little kid would want to sit through the original Arthur , a movie about two fairly sad middle-aged people Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli falling in love? Despite sharing a name with the beloved PBS series based on Marc Brown's books about kid aardvarks, some well-meaning parent or confused child might have popped this one in the DVD player a few times, and it's certainly not kid-friendly—it concerns an obnoxious alcoholic Moore who's literally falling down drunk throughout the movie.
Sometimes the drunkenness is played for laughs, and sometimes for tears. Speaking of which, there's one scene where Arthur is in bed with a prostitute , and she talks about how she was molested as a child. It's entirely possible that the jokes fly at such a rapid pace in Airplane! Then again, a fairly high percentage of the movie's most memorable bits are at the very least mildy filthy. For example, flight attendant Elaine Julie Haggerty blows up the inflatable pilot Captain Oveur Peter Graves asks a little boy visiting the cockpit if he "likes gladiator movies" and if he's "ever seen a grown man naked.
Watership Down is an animated movie about cute little bunnies. But it is decidedly not a movie geared toward tiny tots—the target audience for both animated movies and bunnies. Based on the novel by Richard Adams, it's about a bunch of rabbits who, attacked by predators, must escape their warren—and find a new home while avoiding more attacks by other animals and humans.
They're unsuccessful on the latter count, and the deaths of many fuzzy bunnies are depicted in bloody, gory detail. To cite a few examples : A rabbit caught in a snare coughs up blood.
Another one has its ears torn off. Yet another is shot and has a bloody bullet hole in its leg for the rest of the movie. Some other rabbits are even hit by a train. But that's all just a prelude to the extended bunny blood fiesta that serves as the film's climax, which includes one rabbit tearing the throat out of another rabbit, leaving a pulpy mess with blood pouring out of what used to be its neck.
