It turned out to be a very boring movie. My 9 year old did not like it. The humor was simply out of date. The bedroom scenes were too long, and there is a fairly long seduction sequence. I will not recommend this to a 8-9 year old.
We watched this expecting to see a slapstick comedy, and there is plenty of that, but at its heart, this is essentially a 60's bedroom farce, with a crime caper to add spice to it.
Nothing is explicit, so there's nothing corrupting young minds without a frame of reference, but the parents will get uncomfortable because they do understand what's being alluded to off-screen.
It's actually refreshing to see the sexual canoodling handled so adroitly and inoffensively, but it's there, your little kids just won't get it.
Not a good message for morality...behavior before marriage & fidelity after.
There was way too much casual acceptance of infidelity (Clouseau's wife of 10 years was cheating on him-probably the whole time- with Sir Charles; who did not seem bothered if she were to also get involved with his nephew) & talk of virginity (not in a respectful way) & getting a woman drunk(she gave in to pressure "are you afraid?" & drank alcohol for the first time, & would Sir Charles take advantage of her? There was no mention of this is not a good thing...it was presented as amusing, & not that she did anything wrong to give in to peer pressure.
