This is my favorite movie in the entire world. I love Audrey Hepburn! This movie is not inappropriate at all. Mickey Rooney's character is a Japanese man, so he played a Japanese man. And the kissing is not grotsque. It's sweet and passionate. The hint a being a call girl might classified as crude, but if you're too young to understand what it means, it shouldn't bother you. Fantastic movie :)

What Parents Need to Know
About Breakfast at Tiffany's
Parents need to know that on their day in New York together, Paul and Holly steal two masks from a dime store for fun. Although it is probably not a good idea to make heavy-handed references to this as a moral failure, in discussions with teens, parents may want to voice their concerns.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about "the mean reds." Have you ever felt that way? Why does Tiffany's make Holly feel better when she feels that way? What makes you feel better? Why did Holly marry Doc? Why did she leave him? What makes Paul decide to break up with the woman he refers to as "2-E"? What did O.J. mean when he called Holly a "real phony?"

Loved It, But Thought it Should be rated R.
i have been wanting to see this movie and I had a movie marathon and Breakfast on Tiffany's was one of the movies I rented. I thought it would be fine and so did my parents but i was wrong. The drinking is the main thing I thought was innapropriate. Heavy drinking and heavy smoking. There was also sexual content and innuendo. I don't think an 11 year old should be watching this yet. it is also very hard to understand. I think it is okay for 14 and up.

this movie is amazing i dont see why people are saying it's innapropriot it's nothing people my age havent heard about before. kids know more about sex then adults think. besides somebody said this movie is to graphic for kids? the worst thing they show is paul with his shirt off. like nobody's ever seen that. and this person said it was innaproptiot because they were kissing? most people our ago HAVE kissed guys before so i don't see why parents have a problem with us watching it when we have already done it. i think this is a great movie for age 10 and up.

Stereotyping and sexual references not right for today's tweens
A favorite movie of mine from long ago, I found it excruciating to watch with my 12 year old daughter and we decided to turn it off. She was extremely shocked and troubled by Mickey Rooney's insensitve characterization of a Japanese man and it was painful for me to watch too. The sexual innuendo was more explicit than I remembered and in many ways made us both more uncomfortable than the fleeting kiss/groping scenes that are standard fare in today's PG-13 movies. We decided to turn it off. So be a little cautious with this old favorite with your tweens. It's a more adult movie than you probably remember.
