Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 14–15

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Although a theme of the movie is tolerance, the word "fag" is used as an affectionate insult to someone who is not gay. Crude humor.
  • Violence:

    Fighting. Comic peril.
  • Sex:

    Sexual references and situations, very explicit for a PG-13.
  • Language:

    Extremely strong language for a PG-13.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Drinking and smoking.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Stuck on You

Parents need to know that this movie has material that would certainly have received an R rating if it hadn't been in a comedy. Characters use very strong language (several "s--t"s), and there are very explicit sexual references and (off-camera) situations, including pornography and a description of masturbation. Characters drink and smoke, and one gets drunk. There's comic peril and fighting. Although a theme of the movie is tolerance, the word "fag" is used as an affectionate insult to someone who is not gay.

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 5.0

    One of my favorite movies!

    Really funny! Kind of sweet too. Some inapropriate parts though. S i think ages 11 and up but it depends on your kids. My 10 year old brother saw it.

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 2.0

    suprisingly sweet

    This movie was ok. I thought it was going to be pretty stupid but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was. I'd give it two and a half stars. It wasn't that funny but it was cute and sweet.

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 4.0

    Hilarious and sweet

    The Farrelly Brothers are one of the few filmmakers who give actual characters to mentally and physically challenged people. For example, the Farellys' friend, Rocket, has a role at the twins' burger joint. He's involved in a lot of jokes, where his character is involved, but the character, not his mental handicap comes to the forefront. This movie, Shallow Hal, and There's Something About Mary are all funny because we care about the characters. Real characters make real jokes. While outrageously funny, this film can be very touching. The acting is pitch perfect, especially Damon and Kinnear. This is a movie I could reccomend to anyone. Bad Santa is for the select filmgoer, but Stuck on You transcends all barriers.
