Absolutely inappropriate language for children. I was shocked to hear GD many times, P---Y, BS, when the review from CS had nothing mentioned about language. I did not read the parent reviews first so that was a huge mistake on my part. I will do that in the future and not just trust the CS review. Good movie but the language ruins it for the kids.

I was surprised that Common Sense had this rated for 9 year olds. It's a great movie, but unfortunately, like so many movies, it is unnecessarily filled with a surprising number of basic profanities by multiple characters in casual conversation throughout. Though it didn't have the F-bomb, it had an ample amount of "Bullsh _ _, GDs, etc." I've never met anyone who approves of talking to 9 year olds like this so the review shouldn't support such exposure either in my opinion. I made the mistake of trusting that the Commons Sense review with the "Grey" box for language (with no comments included) meant that there were no profanities worth mentioning...unfortunately, I learned later that my son and his friend got an ear full.

Yes, this movie has a tremendously positive theme. I loved this movie. However, I agree with previous reviewers concerned about the language involved. While the use of profane language might be perfectly appropriate for the college age characters in the film, it is not appropriate for my pre-teen children. I'll save this one for when my kids are a little older.

"Rudy" is a very inspirational movie - it's about following your dreams, yes, but it's also shows how we need to realize that we might already have had some pretty great things happen to us and may not see them as such because we're distracted by other goals. My wife and I were impressed by how much it took (and still takes) to play in a college football game - even if just for a few seconds. The language was our biggest concern - at least 8 swear that, while sometimes fitting the moment in the movie, put this one of limits for our kids for a while.
