What Parents Need to Know
About City Lights
Parents need to know that kids will laugh themselves silly at the slapstick antics of Charlie Chaplin. Though younger ones (6-8) may not appreciate the heavy themes of the film, those moments will have a strong impact on 'tweens. Chaplin gets himself into dangerous situations -- such as driving drunk and mishandling of a pistol -- but always gets out safely. Kids may want to imitate Chaplin's acrobatic slapstick. The film contains depictions of suicidal depression and society's unfairness at judging people solely on their wealth.

Certainly a classic, I'm not a fan of silent movies but I really enjoyed this one. It's surprisingly funny and even touching. Good, clean fun.
