Hilarious
This movie is soooooooooo funny! One of the best ever. The language that is in it is only really in one scene, where he comes back from finding the rental car he was supposed ro rent was gone. A couple anatomy jokes too. Watch it before your kids!

i thought this movie was hilarious but there was one scene where Steve Martin said the "F" word numerous times in a row but that was the only thing that made it rated R. Otherwise it was awesome

funniest Steve Martin movie ever!
I thought this movie was sooooo funny! The only reason it's rated R because of this one scene where Steve Martin says the f-word 20 times in a row at a car rental place. Otherwise it would have been rated PG. I think it's fine for 9+.

Good for teens, but no one under 12
This movie was flippin hilarious. Sure, 1 scene had the F-bomb as every other word(Ha-Ha-Ha)and it had some mature humor in it, but someone my age would be able to handle it.

IT'S FINE!
I loved this movie. Even though there are some words which aren't age appropriate....Kids should be able to understand not to say those words. But otherwise, this movie is perfect for a good laugh.

Iffy for ages 11 to 14
The movie is extremely and family friendly, apart from one scene where Steve Martin is incredibly P***ed off and uses the f-word 10 odd times. Only because that I'd say pre-teens at the youngest should watch this. Totally awesome though.

Wow.
Omg WOW this is such a great comedy movie, with a great cast, John Candy and Steve Martin are just fantastic, and you look at the characters and think "OH MY GOD I know someone who is EXACTLY like that!!!" It's hilarious!! and the messages are all positive, and the rolemodels are pretty much all good! It has a great story about getting along with people, and the friendship between these two men is beautiful, and very funny in parts. There are some mild sex references and two people kiss very passionately on a bus but thats it, there is some mild language and a scene where Steve Martin uses the f-word like 20 times, but its played for laughs and its only because he's angry, and he's not saying it TO anyone. Overall, its a great funny comedy, harmless fun except for language, it leaves you with a lovely feeling and the messages are great! I reccomend it to kids 11+ and their families. 5 STARS! enjoy :)

Dumb humor and sad storyline
This was a OK movie definitly not one of the best but still entertaining. Actually the language was what made it funny. The ending was very sad finding out that (spoiler alert) john candy's characters wife was actually dead. Even though martins character is not nice at all at the end he does help him and gives him a thanksgiving dinner. Good ending

This movie is totally hilarious! My eight year old brother watched with me and we skipped through the seen at the car rental. but if your older then ten you are perfectly old enough and mature to watch that scene. all he says is f word a million times but in the funniest way possible. I recommend this movie to anyone! i loved it!

Instant classic!
A great comedy. Some should be advised that there is one scene where the word f___ is used several times repeatedly. Other than that, this should be regarded as an excellent family movie, as well as a comedy. I reccomend it for viewers 10+ who can understand that just because a word is used in a movie, doesn't mean it should be thrown around in life all the time.

Fun-filled movie. Some inapropriate scenes.
This Is a very funny John Candy movie. There is only one scene where Martin drops the F bomb several times in a row which you may want to skip over unless you have a mature teen. A great family movie.

Great for Thanksgiving with 9-10s
I watched this film with my children and it was completely fine except for a very short scene (rental car agent and Steve Martin) that was NOT appropriate (strong language). I knew it was coming so talked and laughed with them to distract. COmpared to the sexual innuendo in today's films at PG or PG-13, this is NOTHING to be concerned over! Have fun watching two legends work.

pretty good
I don't recomend this movie for anyone under 13. There is some horrible language but other than that it is a hillarious movie for teenagers.
