there are some iffy scenes like: when a girl shows off her boobs in her bikine to get the lifeguard Raymond to notice her, when 2 charecters kiss, when 2 of the main charecters fet into a big fight (just yelling not hiting), and some mild language.

What Parents Need to Know
About Aquamarine
Parents need to know that the film concerns a mermaid's search for "love" among humans, and the comedy involves teenaged flirting, sexual tensions, and giddy girl behavior. Mermaid wears tight outfits, audacious girls appear in bikinis, and the "good girls" dress like tomboys. Girls read teen magazines about how to attract boys, the favorite boy is objectified in slow motion (reference to typical objectification of girls). Characters discuss sex and bodies (breasts, implants) and use mild profanity. Tense family situations include discussion of a girl's parents' drowning, another girl's parents' divorce, and an upcoming move, threatening to split up the girls' friendship. Very brief scare scene during a rainstorm.

Not for kids under 10, but a great tween movie!
This is my favorite movie to watch with my friends because it celebrates friendship. It's just a beautiful story. As far as content, there is some mild language and one use of the b-word, (which is pretty quiet and nonchalantly used so it is likely to go over young kid's heads) a lot of flirting and frequent use of the word "hot" and there are a few references to female body parts (particulary boobs) and girls try to get a guy to like another girl, and a french kiss at the end, and some girls wear revealing clothes. But IT IS PERFECT for tween girls!

Fluffy and fun
This is a fluffy, fun chick flick that will make you laugh, cry (ok, maybe not) and (if you are a modern preteen girl) able to relate. Except for, of course the mermaid thing. Great tween-focused love story to watch with your friends a t a sleepover. P.S I am conducting ann experiment using the on/iffy/off/age button. I am saying on 9+

Sweet movie about friendship
This is the only PG movie I have let my 5 yr olds watch - I am picky about what they see - this movie is adorable and sweet and all about the close friendships of girls. The story is cute. It is all definitely very "girly" and not something I can imagine any boy wanting to watch. I love the message it sends about friendship. There are some flirty/girly/innocent giggly/ flirtatious scenes that I am sure earned its PG, but to me, this type of a PG rating is a far cry from movies that are rated PG for rude humor or violence. This movie is watched with a smile, and is one that we bought on DVD.
- I rate this title iffy for age 8 and give it
Levesque, Roberts, and Paxton shine in cute fish-out-of-water tale
Sexual Content (Pause): Some kissing and flirting. Aquamarine is presumably naked when she is first on land, but no nudity is seen. Mention of boobs. Aquamarine is shirtless in the last scene, but her hair covers her breasts. Violence (Not an Issue): Some minor peril. Language (Pause): One use each of "hell" and "bitch". Social Behavior (On): Friendship, love, and loyalty are major themes of the movie. Commercialism (Pause): Morton salt, magazines. Drug/Alcohol/Tobacco (Pause): Joke reference to smoking.
