What Parents Need to Know

About The Dudesons Movie

Parents need to know that this DVD release compilation of the Finnish reality show's violent exploits is a non-stop succession of brutal pranks performed as entertainment. Imitating them could lead to serious injury and/or death. As a result, this DVD is not recommended for kids and younger teens, and parents should exercise caution when allowing older teens to watch, too. Parents should also know that the show includes brief nudity and sexualizes women. In one instance, the guys catch a couple in the act of having sex in a barn. The only upside to all of this is that the guys truly seem to care for each other (although they still attack each other violently).

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why some people find the Dudesons' behavior funny and why it's not fit for imitation. What consequences do the guys experience from their pranks? What physical injuries do the pranks cause? Do you agree with Jarno's comment that "pain is momentary but beauty is forever?" Moreover, what's the appeal of programs that show people injuring themselves violently for entertainment?
