    • My highlights are:
    • Positive messages

    Great for older teens and up!

    Great action satire parody! The characters themselves frown apon the language they use and the violent acts they commit. A little much nudity, nothing graphic though.

  2. Adult Reviewer
    Lives in Minnesota
    I rate this title on for age 16 and give it 5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language
    • Negative message
    • Negative role models

    Great Action Comedy.

    I'm not sure why they say "No Kids" for this. It's less violent than many other "R" movies, probably comparable to "Tropic Thunder" or "Watchmen" and doesn't have a whole lot of language either. Even though a main character is gay, it doesn't play into the story at all and isn't really mentioned much. Overall, a hilarious movie and great action flick.
