What Parents Need to Know

About Run Lola Run

Parents need to know that there is some rough street language, references to out-of-wedlock pregnancy and adultery, and that the main characters live on the edge of the underworld -- the money Manni leaves on a train belongs to a drug dealer.

    R rated?

    I'm not quite sure why exactly this movie is rated R. It does have some language, a little violence, a little bit of stuff involving drugs, but it doesn't have that much. Of course, you would need to be somewhat mature to appreciate the movie to it's fullest, but I would say that 16 + is a little more than necessary. The movie itself is a very good movie, with very original plot and great execution.
