I thought this was a very good movie. It's a must see for all teens and adults. It has much adult content and disturbing images.

Cuckoo's Nest
One flew over the cuckoo's nest is a great movie for family as long as your kids are above ten. Jack Nicholson gives a great performance as R.P. McMurphy. The movie will make you happy and it will make you sad. But all in all it's a great movie. 5/5

Gotta say that I am pretty liberal but when I found out this film was usual viewing for high school kids, I was shocked. First of all, rated R is rated R and that is "under 17 not admitted without parent or guardian". I will not be there and I do not consider most teacher's in our high school guardian material. Our school system has no dress code, cell phone rules (kids text to facebook during class) or language policy. I don't need my kid being told that this movie and the language are perfectly acceptable. GREAT movie but NOT for high schools..period.

Not for under 18.
Interesting that the official review counts statuory rape of a 15 yo as a "petty" crime. In my book it is child abuse, and I'm pretty sure most parents would agree. The main character both admits to and justifies this act, and the story line is written to make this child abuse petty and excusible as long as the adult involved is cool. Along with over 25 f-words, most of them used in a sexual context, in my book this movie is inappropriate for all minors and totally inapproriate in an educational setting.

Wonderful movie
This movie is great. I like all the main characters except the nurse. The only two things that I don't like about this film is the suicide and the smothering.

Great movie, suitable for 12+
Excellent film, one of the best of all time. Does not deserve its 16+ rating, although most kids won't appreciate something like this anyway. Any film fans aged 12 or over should be fine.

A Must See Movie for tweens and up
one flew over the cuckoo's nest is an amazing film. The only thing remotely explicit is the langguage. the patients swear at each other (f-word, s-word). one scene early in the movie there is a reference to a statutory rape which is borderline explicit, but ends somewhat quickly. this is an amazing movie but know your kids before letting them watch it.

Great opportunity to work through Ken Kasay's work
Had son read the book first, discussed it, and then watched the movie together. Great movie, but helps to discuss together.

One of the defining films of the 1970's.
What does common sense media mean when they say the cuckoos nest is no place for kids.This movie should be viewed by everybody that loves film, including kids.This is one of the greatest films of all time.I laughed, I felt sympathy for the characters, I even drank a little[don't send this review to my mom].I love this film*mon sense media needs to start grading these movies better.And by the way, if your getting sick of my reviews about lashing out at this site, I have news for you, I'm just getting started.
