About O Brother Where Art Thou
Parents need to know that this movie has some mild language and some incidents reflecting the racism of its setting, including a KKK rally and attempted lynching.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about its origins in the greatest of all epics, and how that story has endured. They might also want to talk about the symbolism of fire and water throughout the movie (notice the way that the sheriff's dark glasses always reflect fire).

Funny, not much like the Odyssey
Parents should know that there are some not so good scenes in the movie. There is a scene where sirens seduce a group of men. There is also frequent language (god***n, s**t, etc.) There are some violent moments, but overall it is okay for tweens+

One of the best movies ever made!!!!!!!
This movie was extremely fun to watch! However, because of language and scary scenes with the KKK, I wouldn't reccomend if for anybody younger than 10. Watch it!!

Really great adventure film with lots of comedy. Entertaining!
Very entertaining oddyssey sort of film. I loved how it went along, however some of the cruelty to animals and other things are not very comforting. Great comedy, also some great music. I love "I am a man of constant sorrow." It is a very good movie. The violence is pretty high, there's a lot of racism, including a KKK rally. Some strong language too. Sort of like the three stooges put together with "The oddyssey". It's satisfying.

A nice movie
This movie is a nice little comedy. How ever, there is a scene with the Ku Klux Klan (which turns out to be very funny) and they try to lynch a guy. Good ten+.
