STOP EXAGGERATING!
What is wrong with you people??? These days kids get offered their first cigarette on average in 3rd grade!
Yes, Mickey Rooney's character is totally racist, but that is the ONLY problem with the movie. If you honestly think your child is going to want to become a call girl, alcoholic, or smoker, then fine, don't let them watch it.
This movie is FANTASTIC. It deals with some serious subject, but in a very mild manner.
I saw this movie when I was 11, and I was not at all naive, but I didn't quite get that Audrey was a call girl, it's so mild. And the sexual content is that 2.E. is cheating on her husband with Paul, which he breaks off, and we see him shirtless (which no one should be complaining about if your child has seen Twilight) once.
I have no clue what this "kissing/groping" person is talking about. There are about 2 kisses and groping is NOT involved unless you call putting your arms around someone groping.
At this time period people didn't really know how damaging smoking and drinking(excessively) were to your health.
Plus, it's JUST A MOVIE. If your kid wants their life to be like Holly's(which wasn't much until she loved Paul back) then they have problems that have nothing to do with the content of this movie.
It's your decision, but this movie is AMAZING.

....
this movie is amazing i dont see why people are saying it's innapropriot it's nothing people my age havent heard about before. kids know more about sex then adults think. besides somebody said this movie is to graphic for kids? the worst thing they show is paul with his shirt off. like nobody's ever seen that. and this person said it was innaproptiot because they were kissing? most people our ago HAVE kissed guys before so i don't see why parents have a problem with us watching it when we have already done it. i think this is a great movie for age 10 and up.

The Best Movie Ever
How is this innapropriate? I love love love this movie, it's my favorite movie ever. Holly Golightly/ Audrey Hepburn is the epitimome of elegance, glamour, and sophistication. It is touching and romantic, without being like Twilight or My Sister's Keeper. It's really sweet. I think this should required watching for every child to learn grace and elegance. It is wonderful.

Loved It, But Thought it Should be rated R.
i have been wanting to see this movie and I had a movie marathon and Breakfast on Tiffany's was one of the movies I rented. I thought it would be fine and so did my parents but i was wrong. The drinking is the main thing I thought was innapropriate. Heavy drinking and heavy smoking. There was also sexual content and innuendo. I don't think an 11 year old should be watching this yet. it is also very hard to understand. I think it is okay for 14 and up.

Classic, Original, and Adorable
This is my favorite movie in the entire world. I love Audrey Hepburn! This movie is not inappropriate at all. Mickey Rooney's character is a Japanese man, so he played a Japanese man. And the kissing is not grotsque. It's sweet and passionate. The hint a being a call girl might classified as crude, but if you're too young to understand what it means, it shouldn't bother you. Fantastic movie :)

I'm Crazy About Tiffany's!!!
Breakfast at Tiffany's, man I just love that name, and I extremely love this movie! Audrey Hepburn shines in her role as Holly, and is probably best known for this role (especially because of her iconic image of her in a beautiful black dress with her hair up, and a cigarette holder in her hand). I think she played the character amazingly, and she probably shocked America with playing a dirty party girl. Peppard was also great as Paul or to Holly Fred, and him and Audrey's chemistry was just wonderful. The rest of the cast is great as well, and whoever played the drunk women who laughed and cryed with herself in a mirror.........HILARIOUS! But though the movie has a great story, great cast, and great comedy and romance, it is pretty dirty. Holly is said to make money by going to the powder room with men, Paul makes his money in a similar way by having an affair with a married woman (nothing is shown, only mentioned, and implied). Also, there is quite a bit of smoking and drinking, one use of da**, and also Holly and Paul steal two masks from a store (out of fun, they are doing things they've never done before). So because of this content it's probably best to show this film to teens and up.
