All member reviews for Dr. Strangelove: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
AGE
Average Kubrick Flick
Arguably the best black comedy ever made, another Stanley Kubrick classic still holds its place in the greatest and most influential films of all time for its original humor, relevant messages, and much more. There are some inappropriate parts, but only subliminally, not directly. The opening shot, the secretary in the bikini, the "playboy" magazine, even the DVD cover, etc. But kids won't notice or understand scenes like this. As with most Kubrick films, it depends on the person watching.

Hilarious
While reading a book on the Cold War the author recommended the film Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Sop Worry and Love the Bomb, I rented it and laughed the whole time, except for the ending, makes you think.

Not for young kids
This movie, for those who don't know, is a black comedy about Nukes. Some bits that might be of concern would be that in the beginning a pilot is read Playboy, and in another scene, a woman is in a bikini. But despite those bits, this movie is a good movie.

Is this supposed to be funny?!
Cause it's not. "Dr Strangelove is regarded as a black comedy classic (I love black comedy, don't get me wrong), but it does one thing wrong. It doesn't make you laugh. Oh, there are a couple of good moments, "gentleman, you can't fight in here, this is the war room" is a classic line. Peter Sellers playing three different characters holds no value to me. Kubrick's "Spartacus" is much better. (If you like this one, see other overrated movies like "The Wizard of Oz" and "The Maltese Falcon".

Amazing black satire
... but don't even try showing it to most kids. They don't understand the Cold War days and therefore won't get most of the humor.

Cotroversial comedy: Not for young kids
Kubrick directed this black dramedy and it's has the cold war in plot. That means you can expect explosions and shootings. The "end of the world" theme in the movie may frighten your kids. But they'll also be laughing hard.
