This movie is filled with sh*t, B*tch, *ss, *sshole, p*ss, d*ck, d*ckless p*cker and I quote during a sexual come on, "I want you inside of me." This did not seem like a movie for children. I did not remember it having such horrible language and a high level of sexual content. This movie would have been just as good or better if they chose to use different language. This movie came out before PG-13 ratings which it should definitely have.

What Parents Need to Know
About Ghostbusters
Parents need to know that the language pushes the limits of the PG rating. The sexual content is relatively mild; however, one character fantasizes briefly about a ghost giving him oral pleasure. This movie deals with the supernatural. Some scenes may be too scary for young children. This is a film with great entertainment value for both parents and children. For the most part, parents should feel comfortable with its relatively tame content.

Parents might be a little uncomfortable - but the kids loved it!
I definitely noticed the sexually suggestive scenes when watching with my 7 and 10 year-olds - but it went right over their heads. There were a few bad words (sh*t, b*tch) but again, I don't think it was a big deal. Too much smoking...but I don't think seeing these guys smoke is going to make my kids want to. They LOVED it and thought it was super funny - they keep talking about the slime and the marshmallow man!

Hilarious movie, my favourite line being "Shhh! Can you smell that?" Great movie, pehaps the sex could have been cut. Oral ghost sex?! No thanks.
- I rate this title iffy for age 11 and give it
I don't think my 11 year old needs to see a ghost giving "oral pleasure" to anyone! No thanks!

Only over age 14
I don't think this is 'tame' when it comes to the sexual content. Alot of innuendo and obvious 'come - on' scenes.

- I rate this title iffy for age 12 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate sexual content
The implied oral sex from a spirit was way too graphic for my kids. This is the first time I have found a common sense rating to be off the mark.

not for kids under 10
This movie has way too many scary scenes, smoking, sexual references and violence...the language is awful. I would NOT want my kids using any of the language in this film.

Funny Movie
I like this movie ALOT! There is some parts that could scare little kids out of their PANTS! Tweens and up ONLY! I luv the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, though.Actually, there is some sexual manner at the end when the woman gets possesd by "Zoop". End is way to scary for young kids and sensitive tweens. Otherwise great!

fun, but too much sexual content
I was not comfortable with the level of sexual content. Without those few scenes the movie is fine.
- I rate this title on for age 10 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate sexual content
It was a pretty great movie. I watched it at a sleepover. I was great fun my only concern was the sexual content, but when kids are young they miss most of that stuff. Great movie for kids and adults.
