I thought it was funny, too. It's not like it was a children's show or anything. I'm not scared of some cussing.

it sure seemed aimed at kids to me...

Uhhmmm...
1. It's rated R (big clue)
2. Watch the trailer (another big clue)
3. Ask around or visit the board. Anyone will tell you that this is NOT a children's show.
4. Watch it with your children. If you (and they) make it past the part where they push the witch into the oven and burn her, and still aren't sure, call a good parent and ask them what they think. Chances are, they have a much better sense of what's "aimed at children" than you do. Listen to them.
5. Watch your kids' faces while they are watching the movie. If they are frightened instead of entertained, change the channel. (yet another big clue)
Honestly, what part of this movie, besides the name of 2 kids from a children's story, made you think that this was a children's show??

When I was a kid...no, wait. I still do that.

whippets are VERY bad for your brain.

Seriously??? Look at my ID pic. Those are DOGS. WHIPPETS, to be exact. We show and occasionally breed them. Before jumping to some idiotic conclusion, you should either ask if I'm into sucking chemicals out of RediWhip (I think that's how whippets are done...I'm not sure, and don't care enough to look it up), or if my ID has something to do with my picture of my DOGS.
Good grief.

Lol! I first saw this last night.

There isn't THAT much profanity.....it's not like a Tarantino or Scorsese movie. That's for sure.

With as much gore in the film, it was going to be rated R anyway, so why not? Just about every line with profanity had me laughing.

Agreed. I have no problem at all with swearing, but here it was completely redundant and out of place.


...then whoa, differences...
