What Parents Need to Know
About The Nutty Professor
Parents need to know that this film has many sexual references, a torrent of profanity, nasty insults (including fat jokes and racial epithets), and a misguided obsession with flatulence. The anally-fixated script, which is packed with smutty double entendres and jokes about "colon cleansing," may delight twelve-year-old boys, but parents may well be horrified that this is what now passes for family entertainment in Hollywood.

Not That Bad
Yes, this movie was kinda iffy but not for people 17 and older.I think it should be for kids 12 and older. There is some sexual content and language but i think most kids can handle it.
