Don't let the cover fool you. It looks as well as sounds like a very kid-friendly movie, but I honestly thought it should have been one of those PG-13's that just let the parent know that there is some suggestive stuff coming your way. I mean, if you're 12, there's nothing wrong with watching this movie, but for a, let's say...6 year old, they may ask questions...be prepared!

SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN RATED PG. The only bad thing is maybe half way into the movie, Jenny says, "why don't we stop trying-not to have a baby?" then John replies,"So this is the part where we go home, take it off, and get it on?" Later they are seen making out on a bed, which implies sexual encounter. Next, after Jenny's baby dies in her, they do it again and this time you only hear the bed creaking and see the covers shaking. It's soooo sad and that may hurt young children, too. but for the most part, Jenny and John are good role models.

My rating: PG-13 for language, some suggestive references including some brief partial nudity and a scene of sexuality, and for an implied stabbing, and some alcohol use.

i love marly and me!!!!!! But it isnt for younger kids.

Just because a movie stars a dog as the main focus, it does NOT mean that its automaticly a kids film, the MPAA really messed up on that. There is too much sexual behavior and language for this to be appropriate; I think that if Marley wasn't in it, it would have no doubt been PG-13. But, if you get around that, its a pretty touching movie. Being an animal lover, I cried my eyes out at the end :(

Nice job with the movie

saw it with my little bros when thy were 5 and 7 too mature!

I watched this movie when I was ten years old and I was horrified. My family thought this was just a funny comedy about a dog, but we were wrong. This movie is not only about a dog, but also about sex, bad neighborhoods where women get stabbed, and lots of language. And the ending was so sad that it ruined the whole movie for me. I'm not sure at all how this movie got a PG rating, but parents, this is DEFINITELY a PG-13, especially for the sex. Nothing is shown, but it is implied, even with a miscarriage! At ten years old, that really made me confused and upset. Worse, my six year old brother was there, who was not only bored of the movie but disgusted, too! When we got home, he told me he hated it because it was so boring. I asked why and he said, "They kept going to bed together. What's the point of that?" Not a movie for young kids.

There is quite a bit of mature content for a PG movie. It might go over some kids' heads, but there is enough for them to ask questions about it. Sad movie, but not as sad as others, like the Bucket List.
