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.

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!

I don't think my 11 year old needs to see a ghost giving "oral pleasure" to anyone! No thanks!
- I rate this title on for age 14 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate sexual content
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.

- Excessive violence
- Inappropriate sexual content

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.

fun, but too much sexual content
I was not comfortable with the level of sexual content. Without those few scenes the movie is fine.

Ouch! Way too iffy on the sexual content!
My major issue is the sex scenes in this movie! One ghost is portrayed as having oral sex and there is another sex scene that is really way over the top! Not for kids with any awareness!
- I rate this title on for age 8 and give it
I just watched this with my boys (ages 7.5 and 9) and they had no issues with it. There are a couple of scenes that a grownup would immedately associate with sex, but by and large the images are subtle and went over my kids' heads. My younger son was disturbed a bit by the electric shock scene at the beginning. "He's not a nice man, Mommy." The language is very mild (but not perfectly pure) and the only drugs are tobacco.

Blast from the past
I'd have to disagree slightly with the "not an issue" rating of the CSM reviewers on the topics of "sex" and "drugs/alcohol" (which actually includes tobacco on the main review page but for some reason isn't included on the adult ratings page). I think "receiving oral pleasure" from a ghost not to mention Sigourney Weaver writhing around on the bed should rate an "iffy" in the sec category. But my biggest gripe about the movie, and the rating, is all the gratuitous smoking. I'm fine with smoking on screen because it does on occasion give an indication as to character. However, there is no earthly (no pun intended!) reason for the guys in Ghostbusters to be lighting up. And they do. Constantly. And they're the heroes, the guys we're rooting for, who have a lot of otherwise admirable qualities.

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!

Funny Movie
I like the part with the marshmellow king

- 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.

Graet classic!
Good for kids.

My brain shrunk...
I think my IQ dropped after watching this. Ghosts don't exist, so that really doesn't help. There was some swearing, loads of smoking, and definitely some sensuality and seduction. I really can't recommend this movie AT ALL. It was so boring, I think I almost fell asleep.

What I Thought Of The Movie
I think it was a good movie. It was a little scary and I think that it would bea little to scary for 7-8 year olds.

Who ya gonna call?
Ghostbusters is a hilarious comedy and definitely one of my favorite movies from the 80's. I love Slimer, he made me crack up. As far as content goes, Ghostbusters isn't awfully inappropriate. There is one scene that hints at oral sex, some language, and some violence that may be a bit scary for young kids, but overall it's appropriate for kids 10+

Classic Movie, unecessary content
good movie, funny and entertaining although the oral sex part was out of the blue, quite pointless and was embarrassing to watch with my little sister who asked me what the lady ghost was doing... good movie overall

Fun movie
This movie is lots of fun to watch, but some of the talk is less than pleasent, like in one scene a man says the mayor has no, um, weenee.
