Is it appropriate for a younger audience?

Because it doesn't really look to bad for a red band trailer. My nephew wants to go see it. He's 12 and I wanna make sure it's not that rude.

What do you find to be "rude"?

[–] george-726-181087 9 years ago

Well that's what I'm asking. In the red band, there's only really just language which is fine but I just wanna know if it's like sexual like other R rated movies these days.

They go to a strip club and stay there for a while, it's not gratuitous But there are naked ladies. It's mostly language, even the violence is pretty tame.

So the constant profanity is ok, but him seeing boobs isn't.

Strip club is a base is operations so it figures more than once.

Violence hits Matrix level in places-shootings. Killings. Obviously not as much since this is a comedy.

Jokes about drugs. Drugs used onscreen

Jokes about cutting off penises. Killer wears a necklace of severed penises.

Language.

And you just articulated why this is not for 12 year olds.

He will be exposed to a blackpussy.

It depends on the boy. I would have been fine a twelve seeing it. There are curse words, adult situations, nudity, drug use, blood, and violence. I was aware of it, but it was all very cartoonishly surreal. I doubt he would be traumatized, but he might be exposed to concepts you don't want him to be exposed to yet. Things like strip clubs, gang violence, drug use, drug dealing, torture, murder, and kitty porn. You know the dirty kind of kitty porn with super cute adorable kitten overload that is too extreme for most movies.

Thanks for the information guys. I will think about it

I would always err on the side of NOT taking a child to an adult film, even if they can "handle" it.

[–] Chris12955 9 years ago

That is fairly sound advice. Although the ratings system sometimes has given R ratings to things that should be PG13. Mostly it is the other way around with PG13 ratings to things that should have been R, but there was a film about two lesbians some years back with no nudity, curse words, or gore, and it got an R. I guess lesbians are too shocking to 13 year olds.

Absolutely not. It's filled with drugs, guns and bad language.

NO it is not
