Beautiful feel good movie, some sex..
I saw this film when I was about 11 and I thought it was beautiful, it has fantastic messages about love and life, its a bit quirky and very fun, I love this movie! There is some sex, which includes Amelie imagining people having orgasms (2 second long clips are shown of women and men screaming in pleasure), there is a standing up sex scene but its played for laughs and not very explicit, kids would be able to handle it, a character works in a porn shop, we see a womans boobs while shes dancing topless, and we see a pregnant naked lady's stomach getting bigger in fast motion, I think CSM were being a bit over-reactive when they said 16+, after all most 14 year olds would know about the subjects in this film, and there are no bad messages, it is all good and fun and a fantastic feelgood film, even if its a bit raunchy. Be warned, its in French so there are subtitles, but that doesnt take away from this magical, feelgood viewing expereince. Its a masterpiece! :D

Foreign Film Bliss
I love this movie. It is a hidden foreign gem that would be fine for mature kids 14+

 
Quirky and Gorgeous -A Must-See for Older Teens and Adults!
Amelie is a quirky, gorgeous, candy-hued film that makes the world just a little brighter! (Can you tell I'm a fan?) Filled with delightful characters, genuinely sweet messages about love and confidence, and fantastic Parisian scenery, this is not a film to miss! Although Amelie is filmed in a fairy-tale/candy shop way (the tone, cinematography, costuming, and etc. is charming and juvenile) there are themes that are anything but. There is a large helping of comedic sexual situations including characters employed at a sex-toy store and some very silly sex scenes. Also, in the style of French cinema, this film waxes on and on. The foreign language and the length mean that it won't entirely appeal to younger viewers, which is great because it really is not for them.

I liked the concept of the movie. I'm 15 and what I didn't like were se sex scenes (that are not too long) but they're not good for us. It would've been perfect if it wasn't for the sex.

Good for 17 year olds, ok for some 15 and 16 iffy for some below that.
Well, this movie was very cute, and whimsical. Viewers who like fantasy or know what it's like to have Imaginary Friends will appreciate Amelie. She becomes actually quite a strong character as she weaves herself into other's lives by helping them by doing good deeds (Ex: Convincing her father to travel by kidnapping his prize garden gnome, and sending it into the world, sending him pictures of it's location) we also see her gain friends and change, becoming a more whole person in the world. My only thing was that the review did not really go into detail on how sex scenes were, so I didn't really know what to expect what the 'humorous situations' would be. But it really wasn't too graphic. The movie shows almost no nudity for almost the entire film until the toward the end. The nudity was a man trying to communicate with a woman while she was filming a porno video for the store she works for. It shows her breasts, because she is stripping in front of the camera. However, this scene is only about 1 minute long, and so should not be too graphic for younger viewers. Amelie reveals in one scene that she has had an abortion, and smoked pot, but it was in one sentence, and I couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic or not. One more thing was that 2 people have sex in the bathroom at the diner where Amelie works. The women begins shrieking, and the wall starts banging, which could be confusing to younger views (she sounds like she's in pain, or being harassed) Also, the movie does take a LONG time to get the story told (2 hours) and so the plot drags on a bit, but nevertheless this is a very cute movie. The family should enjoy watching Amelie discover herself as the movie progresses, and as she discovers life and true love. Very good filming, story line, and acting. A quirky modern fairytale, of sorts. Enjoy!

Sweet Non-Threatening Movie
Despite the site's review of this movie, it is quite suitable for a mature 12 year old. No violence or coupling of sex with violence. The main character (Amelie) is good hearted, and tries to help lonely people. There are some very funny scenes where she gets comic (and non-violent) revenge on a greengrocer who is mean to his retarded employee. The movie has excellent values. Despite the R rating given this film by the prudish MPAA, by way of contrast the move received a rating of all audiences by the Dutch film rating agency

OK for mature teenagers, wonderful visuals and story
Mature teenagers interested in foreign films will be fine. Scenes/language relating to the porn shop are probably the most sexually explicit.

 
Beautiful story--and funny!!
I agree with every word from the reviewer rsdf--the R rating is prudish, and mature 12 year old could see it. It's just a wonderful movie. If you see only one foreign movie in a year's time, this is definitely the one.

An excellent movie, those with a taste for the offbeat will probably enjoy it.

Great film, but make sure you know if your teens are mature enough
This is a great film. It is rated 15 in the UK (Where I live) and I believe that if your kids are mature enough to handle the sex scenes (mostly very short) and the fact that one of the characters works in a Porn shop (which is a normal thing in Paris) then they will love it. There is little swearing. It was the first film rated 15 that I saw and I'm happy that it was this film. Just make sure you know your children enough.

Positive messages, but also some sex.
There are sexual scenes, nothing too strong. No public regions, some breasts only. We see a footage of orgasms (no strong details). Two people have sex off-screen, and we see everything in the next room vibrating and we hear moaning. Those scenes are comical rather than erotic. It's not a big deal and the movie does not focus on sex. It's the only reason for the R-rating (the rest is PG). The movie is very light-hearted and it really cheers you up. Nothing dark, no sarcasm and no strong violence. Amelie is a very sympathic person and a good role model. She frequently helps people and shows how little acts of kindness can have great positive effects. The movie's style is unique. There is no other movie i know that has the same good look, the well-written script and the same good actors - and that positive athmosphere. Most other of my favourite movies have a rather negative athmosphere. But this one here does not. A masterpiece! I would recommend this to anyone, but i know parents want me to consider sexual content. So i give a 12 rating, but only for some sexual content.
