Great, heart-warming movie. Beware of language. Sexual content should not be an issue.
I loved this movie. It is so heart-warming. It is about an autistic man and his brother who takes care of him and finds the true meaning of brotherly love. No violence what-so-ever. The language although is pretty bad. Several uses of f*ck and its variations. G**d*mn is also used several times. Many other uses of other milder profanities. One highly sexual situation. You hear moaning and other noises. You then see sexual movement under a blanket. A woman is in a bathtub and gets out although you do not see any nudity. She is then wearing pants and an unbuttoned shirt with no bra on. You may be able to see glimpses of her breasts. Although the glimpses are so short time-spanned that you could blink to miss it.

If Cruise didn't swear so much, this'd be PG-13
Very good movie and deserved Best Picture in '88. Dustin Hoffman's performance was incredibly well done as well.

A heartwarming, tear dropping film!
I watched this movie when I was doing research on autism. Right after I had finished watchin it I knew that I would always love this movie. the sex scene I didn't think was needed. They may were looking for a way to attract "another" genre in the movie. Some of the language I didn't think was needed. I guess the language wasn't too bad of an issue. They do say "f--k" a couple times. Overall I loved the movie and I recomend it to anyone that wants to see Hoffman at his BEST!

:/
Very good story! Tom Cruses' character starts out as a real jerk. But, then progresses into a great brother later in the movie. Has one brief sex scene. I was very disappointed in the amount of swearing in the film. So much to the point that I regret watching it Primarily, The F-word, which is used very frequently.

Moving.
Though Rain Man has a lot of swearing and some sexuality, the overall message of love and friendship between two brothers who have recently met is moving.

It would be PG-13 without all the F-bombs, but it's really, really good.
My rating: R for intense depiction of autism, strong language and smoking.

YOU MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!
This is a great movie with, in the end, a positive message about brothers and family. There is an excessive amount of commercialism. There is also a sex scene

Best Picture of 1988.
"Rain Man" is a very touching story of two cross-country brothers, one an autistic savant, the other a car sales man. Dustin Hoffman as the autistic is easily one of his performances on screen. And Cruise, well, he does a great job. this film should be fine for kids 12 and up. I would still give it an R for strong language, and a brief sexual scene.
