Go for it if you want an awesome musical
Great music, decent storyline. There is some nudity, which kind of ruins it for me. But it's easily skip-able. Quite a bit of cussing. "Zydrate" (an anesthetic in the movie) is pretty clearly abused, but it's not real, so i can't say it poses an issue. Lots of blood and gore, again, depends who you are and what you're used to. I wouldn't let my kids watch it if i had any, 17+

Addicted to the Knife
Hilarious, great play and now a great movie. Despite Paris Hilton being in it (which, i don't think she's that bad, House of Wax didn't bomb because of her acting, despite the claims.) it's a very dark comedy about an interesting future with the Repo-Man at your door. Worth buying/renting.

CommonSense neglects the actual story beyond the violence.
As a sixteen year old I love Repo! It seems to me that Commonsense completely neglects the actual story. The violence is not the point of it. The story is actually something simple made complex by situations going on with it. This movie should be watched by kids and teens that are ready tohandle it. If you kid has seen Sweeney Todd or Phantom of the Opera or any of the Saw films and not had a bad reaction to it let them watch this. And if they can't watch this without getting a nightmare I think that is bad parenting. You have to make them understand its all fake and none of this can actually happen. Its like crushing their dreams but it works. If a parent chooses to watch this with their kid then don't stop it in the middle and say this is too much gore. Pay attention to Shiloh's story as well as that of her father, Rotti, and Blind Mag. If you pay close attention you can find moral merit within the story.

best musical EVER
i don't understand why people keep comparing this movie to RHPS. both are stellar in their own right, but besides being musicals the two have nothing in common. that said, i think everyone who likes musical/gory movies should give this one a shot. it has everything: blood, viscera, arias, drugs, and boobs. what more could you ask for? the soundtrack is super catchy, especially zydrate anatomy. the only thing i didn't like about this movie was that paris hilton was cast as amber sweet, but she played her part very well so even that wasn't much of a disappointment. so. if you choose to see repo! i hope you enjoy it.

Musical like Sweeney Todd
While not as graphic as sweeney todd this film still delivers graphic violence but it's very comic but definetly not for kids under 16 if you enjoy horror films mixed with great music this film is for you!

Terrible role models and plastic surgery
Maybe not the best movie ive seen, but its ok, and anthony head is in it. However, its violent. Good acting, but strange music. All the role models are terrible. One person disobeys her parent, another is a liar, and every one is in it for personal gain. The movie deals with drug abuse, but luckily is not glorifying it. Parents can talk about the "need" some feel for plastic surgery, and plastic surgery addiction.

A bad movie, with good singing, for people 15+
Story of the movie was pretty weak, and the rest of the movie followed. It was a very gory movie, and the language was strong at parts, though it wasn't the point of the movie. The movie had pretty bad effects, and acting, but the singing was good at times throughout the movie. The comedic parts were funny, though it was sometimes hard to find those parts because alot of the movie was comedic. I say an overall bloody, and poorly made movie, with sexuality and language to top off the poor story and strange events of the movie. I give it a 1/10, and definately say its for people at least 15 and older.

Lovely movie, but for crying out loud, parents, it's *NOT* for 6-year-olds...
I have to wonder if the person who did the video review for this even watched the movie... In any case, I'd recommend following Synchronicity's review, it's right on track. As to the people who let their little ones watch it...I would just hope any other parents reading these reviews have the COMMON SENSE not to listen to such malarkey. This is an amazing movie, one of my absolute favorite musicals, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone under the age of fourteen.

Great musical but a little too violent
This rock opera is absolutely one of the best movies I've ever seen. All the songs are so amazing and even though the movie is really violent i think that it still is a great movie. Alexa Vega has an amazing voice and Sarah Brightman brings a classical, more opera like sound to the movie. I think that even if you don't like musicals you should check this one out.
