Good father-son film
This film underscores the relativity of baseball and it's timeless endurance as it transcends the generations. I see little content objectionable material, but the theme may be too complicated for those younger than 8. My son (8) is just the age he can appreciate this type of film and differentiate the reality of future, past, and fiction. Also, he recognized there were a couple of pieces of mildly rough language, from the ball players (as you might expect) and James Earl Jones, who plays a grouch early on in the movie.

Not just another baseball movie
I hate baseball, and my dad has tried countless times to get me to watch it. Finally, he did, and it was not just about baseball. It was about following your dreams and it was pretty inspiring. Some kids may be bored in it. There are a few drug references, but nothing that severe. Something commonsense did not pick up on is there is a discussion of banning a book and they say "pornography" and "masturbation." But that will be unnoticed by kids. The littlest kids may be confused, but I'd say good for 10+.

An Instant Classic! Magical, Funny, Inventive!
Field of Dreams is a fun family film for all. The CommonSense review can tell you the story. The main problem in the film is language. S**t, D**n, and A** are used frequently, as well as crude names like "nazi cow". Other than that, the acting is terrific and the story magical. Highly reccommended!

A favorite of mine.
As a baseball lover and a movie lover this movie is a rare treasure. Compleatly approaite for anyone over eight. Some bad lauange and a slightly sophisticated plot may make this a bad pick for young children though. A great family movie for after the small ones are asleep.
