What Parents Need to Know
This review of Rush Hour was written by Nell Minow
Parents need to know that this movie includes a good deal of cartoon-style violence and many of the usual swear words (and Chan learns the hard way that an African-American man may be permitted to use the "N" word when anyone else may not).

What’s the Story?
In RUSH HOUR, Jackie Chan plays Hong Kong police detective Lee, who comes to Los Angeles to find the kidnapped 11-year-old daughter of his close friend, a Chinese diplomat. The FBI doesn't want Lee getting involved in the case, so they team him up with James Carter (Chris Tucker), a "cop who doesn't work well with others but is so good they have to put up with him." Carter's job is really to keep Lee out of the investigation, but Carter also decides this is his chance to shine and digs into the case himself while trying to distract Lee.
Is It Any Good?
Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan is always a delight to watch. His charm, wit, and impeccable timing make his kung fu moves closer to Charlie Chaplin or Jacques Tati than to Stephen Segal. He has had a hard time finding an American script to showcase his talent, but comes a little bit closer with this action comedy.
Comedian Tucker brings energy and some freshness to the tired role of the difficult new partner. Chan and Tucker seem to genuinely enjoy one another, and both share gifts for physical comedy that provide some very funny moments amidst the usual round of explosions and bad guys. And the little girl (Julia Hsu) is adorable, with a Mariah Carey imitation that is utterly delicious.

Gets your attention
Jackie Chan makes another great movie and Chris Tucker makes this more for adults. I would say 15+ because some of the comments by CT. But overall great action movie

It's more than a movie
Rush hour is about cultures that clash and tempers that flare as these two cops from different worlds and countries find out they have one thing in common: they can't stand each other. With time running out they quickly join forces to catch the criminals and if they don't they're in trouble.
I think this movie is a good movie to make you laugh and to get you excited. If you wan't to laugh, I suggest you should watch this movie.

Fun for teenagers
Rush Hour has both action and comedy that are mixed together to create a fun movie. While chasing the bad guys Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker create humor that seems aimed at teenagers. There is some language, but nothing a kid hasn't heard in middle or high school. As for the violence, pretty much no blood is shown. Just the usual punches and gun shooting. I recommend this movie for ages 12+.
