What Parents Need to Know
About Back to the Future Part III
Parents need to know that this final entry in the trilogy is better for kids than the sexier Part I and Part II. Absent are the more mature themes of its predecessors, though kids may need to have adults explain some of the plot complications.

Fun Wrap-Up to Amazing Trilogy!
BACK TO THE FUTURE blew me away. BACK TO THE FUTURE PART 2 was a worthy sequel. PART 3 tops 2, but one's still the best. Anyhow, PART 3 is a fun ending to one of the best trilogies ever. PART 3 picks up right where 2 left off. The 1955 Doc Brown gets Marty to the Old West where he assumes the identity Clint Eastwood and searches for Doc. But Doc's infatuated with schoolteacher Clara Clayton, and he wonders if he wants to go back to 1985. 3 is the most kid friendly of the triolgy, th only one worth a PG rating. No sex at all, unlike the first two. Language is milder too, down to the occasional "d**n" or "b**ch". Violence is what you'd expect from a Western, none of it nasty. BACK TO THE FUTURE PART 3 sums up the triolgy well and will for sure leave audiences satisfied, yet sad that the old Delorean will never flash again. Highly reccommended.

Great second squel!
I like back to the future more than part 1! It's another great family movie. It has more acton than part one. I don't like Biff. When he is a teen his hair is short but when he is older he looks like and old man!! But watch this second squel!

Great Movie!
The Back to the Future movies are my favorite movies of all time. They are better as a set, but you can watch just one, too. This one has a small amount of violence, but it is not graphic at all.

This is the best and most appropriate of the Back to the Future trilogy. Although BTTF is okay for younger kids, their comprehension of the film may be a problem. But, if you're looking for an interesting movie that you can watch with kids here's one.
