Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 16–17

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Some diversity in the cast.

  • Violence:

    A suicide (or murder) in the form of a plunge from a building.

  • Sex:

    There is physical affection between Eloise and Tom Tom, but nothing too objectionable.

  • Language:

    Plenty--there's a very foul-mouthed elderly resident who uses the F-word and every other profanity imaginable.

  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The Million Dollar Hotel

Parents need to know that there is a lot of mature content here, but most older teens won't have the patience for it anyway. Parents should be aware of some mature themes (murder/suicide, the exploitation of mentally handicapped characters) as well as some extreme profanity and violence.
