My brother was always dying to see this movie, so we both watched it, it just wasn't funny, if you still want to watch it it has some issues: 1. Mr. woodcock abuses his students, comic faling for laughs, mr. woodcock and josh have a violent wesling match, 2. mr. woodcock cheats on josh's mom, a woman says she's a sex adict, josh hides under mr. woodcok's bed as mr. woodcock and johns mother have sex, many other sexual refrenses and inuendos. 3. some language icluding: B--ch, D--n, h--l, a-s, and s--t. So overall this is apropriate for kids 12 or 13, but that dosen't mean they'll like it.

I loved this movie. It was by far the best movie i've seen in a while. there was really not anything that bad in it! If they took out a few parts it would be fine for a pg instead of pg-13. mr. woodcock is hilarious!! *spoiler alert* He makes a kid do push ups because he studdered and made a kid with athesma run laps because he was wheezing! he also does alot of stuff like that. *spoiler is over* Mentioned in the CSM review it says john gets beat with a bat, dont wory about it there is nothing violent about it, it is in a funny way and he is not injured (1 of the funniest scenes) Also it says he gets a bloody cheek, all the show is him fall off the treadmail (once again in a funny way) and then after they show a small cut on his cheek. I think this movie is fine for probably 10 and up (like i said if they took out a few things it is fine for a pg) Probably a 8-9 year old would be ok with this too (the "bad" things they probably would not even understand) and if your child is 8-10 and your worried but it looks like a good movie you could preview it and fast forward through anything not good for them and they would be able to see most of the movie still! i definintly would reccommend this movie to anyone!!
