Okay, this is the thing: this wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't a good one either. It was... well, it was just same-old, same-old. I've seen it before; sure, the opening was good (the flipping gasoline truck was a little new), but I saw it in the trailer! So, I pay ten bucks to see a movie I've already seen three versions of?! The first was good. Never saw the second. The third was horrible. The fourth is pretty much the first one, only with a few "new-old" tricks. Not worth it; just see the first one. It's pretty much the same thing, except a little better; probably because this one was such a let down. It had "Nothing new here..." written all over it!

What Parents Need to Know
About Fast & Furious
Parents need to know that this action-packed fourth installment in the Fast and Furious series was heavily marketed to teens. There's plenty of violence, including explosions, shoot outs, fistfights, and lots of car chases -- which end in at least a few deaths (though most are implied rather than shown directly). There are only two love scenes (and the camera cuts before the act itself), but there's plenty of other risque stuff, including several shots of half-dressed women kissing each other and dancing provocatively. Language includes frequent use of words like "s--t," "bitch," and "p---y," as well as Spanish curse words. Characters drink and smoke, and drugs/the drug trade plays a central role in the plot.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the the fact that, except for two or three women, most of the movie's female characters are sexy decoration. What kind of message does that send to girls? Do you think the filmmakers care, or are they going after an entirely different audience?
- What do you think of the idea that some people live by a "code" and others don't? Does following your own set of rules mean that it's OK to do illegal or other iffy things if you think you have a good reason? Which characters in the movie have a code, and which don't?

Slow & Weak enough already!
I think after seeing the newest F&F that they should stop here. I thought bringing back the original characters would be better but this is the worse out of all of them. If you want to see reckless driving for an hour and a half go ahead but if you want to see something better continue living your life.

Not so Fast and Furious
I really didnt find this movie that great. Vin Disel did a good job on the acting but everyone else wasnt that great. There wasnt a lot of action till the end which made the movie pretty boring throughout (not what i think everyone expected). If you really need to see it wait till the DVD or Blu-Ray

entertaining, but it disappoints as a movie
i have seen all of the fast and furious movies, and after seeing this one, i still think the original is the best on in the series. this movie wasnt completely bad, but its not the best movie in theaters right now, it entertained, but the plot twist in the last third of the movie came as no surprise, the characters arent interesting, the plot is run of the mill, but if you like high octane, adrenaline pumping car races, this is your movie. just dont expect it to win any awards, (but maybe an mtv movie award, because they are stupid)

Worst movie of the year
This movie was one of the worst I've seen. Where I come from two girls kissing is lesbianism. It was too loud, the language was bad the acting was wooden by most of the characters and the script was dumb. There are no redeeming qualities to this movie.

Pretty good
I honestly thought that it was a good movie. The only thing I didn't like is 2 scenes of girls making out.Instead of that it was realy good.

You should not take any one younger than 17.
My husband and I took our friend's 15 year old son with us to the movie. The language and women kissing women made this a very uncomfortable situation for me. If I could do it over again I would not have agreed to take him. I believe this movie should have been rated R.

Loved It
I loved this movie i have loved all of them since the first Fast and the Furious was released I agree with the PG13 rating but id probably let me little sister whos 13 this month watch it I think it depends on the maturity of the person. The only part that may cause some worry is the girls kissing other then that the movies fine, the language whatever everyone cusses you can go to a mall and here people around you cussing and the "sex" scenes arnt even sex scenes therefore i dont see any problem in this movie its great and action packed LOVE IT
