Okay but not for anyone under 16.
I found this movie to be fine. It wasn't as great as the previews leads the viewers to think. There are sexual inuendos throughout. Though there is no nudity, you do see two males in bed making out, the title male character in bed with lead female character with intentions of premarital sex. From the Christian view, this movie promotes same sex couples and premarital sex which is unsuitable for those who can not objectively determine right from wrong. From a purely entertainment view point, this is targeted for mainstream older teens and those in their twenties.

Great, funny movie is not for Young Kids
A great movie for teens, I thought it was really funny. The movie has a lot of action and some violence. All the fights have martial arts violence and when some one gets hit words like: "Pow" "Bam" and "Kaboom" come out of characters. All the fights resolve in the loser falling to their knees and being consumed in a blast of light. After that, all that is left are coins (just like a video game), One scene about 15 minutes away from the end of the movie shows a sword going clean through Scott's chest. He falls to the floor dead. But then comes back alive in about 2 minutes after a dream. The Sexual Content can be iffy for 12 year olds and younger, one scene shows a couple half - naked in a bed kissing and then sleeping together (they didn't have sex on - screen or off). But after that there is only jokes about sex. There's a lot of language from h--l, d--m, son of a b---h, and c--k, and one character that uses f--k multiple times, but her lips and voice are censored when she does use that word. The message is good and Scott is a good role model most of the time. At times he cheats on his ex girlfriends, but at other times his actions show that if you want something really bad, you have to fight for it. Overall, if I had to give this movie a genre it would be comedy or Action/Adventure. The content may be iffy for tweens 12 and under but it really depends on your kid.

COMPLETELY harmless!
Personally, I disagree with almost everyone here. I think you're taking it way too seriously - there is mild course language, but you get this in anything, and if you think that a kid hasn't heard or used that kind of language many times before, then think again. Personally, being the complete opposite of a homophobe, I don't see any problem with the occasional gay couple scenes that there are - if you saw a completely clothed male and female kissing, how is that any different to a same sex kiss? However, that's just my opinion and I apologize if you take offence. The scene with Ramona and Scott in bed doesn't SHOW anything, although it does lead you to believe that they have had/are going to have sex - but that's just suggestive and only a very mature young child would be able to understand that. The violence is toned down, basically the equivalent of letting your kids played games with mild violence. No blood whatsoever, just characters that turn into piles of coins like in games. I saw it just recently, and I didn't find it at all bad, which is why I was quite surprised to see that the average person rated its age so high, and that someone said that it was inappropriate for under 16s! I think this movie is fine for a mature eight year old, but most likely grade five students (10 year olds) and above.

And thus we get a brigade of fools who never read the book
I mean, really, all this stuff comes as a SHOCK to you? Seriously, Scott Pilgrim is one of the most brilliant ideas ever cooked up. It's 3 quarters slice-of-life and one quarter spiritual video game parody, and strangely enough, it actually works. You're not really supposed to take it seriously. It's meant a drama/COMEDY! I mean, really, people, read the source material before you judge the movie. Ultimately, I was impressed. They actually kept this movie faithful to the original source material. Sure, the ending is different, but that's because this movie was in production before the last volume of the book was made so it's forgivable.

perfect for 13 and up, younger kids be cautioned
ok, so there was sexual content and some inappropriate stuff, but overall i enjoyed it. i recommend it for 13 and over, but otherwise you should let your parent watch it first and let them decide for you.

Not for everyone
My husband and I loved it. Do I think it is appropriate for every kid or even every family? No. Was it good for ours? Absolutely (though the younger two will be waiting to see it on dvd due to the sexual content--will be skipping several things.) As far as the violence goes? Being a gaming/comic book reading family the violence was no problem. There was no blood, no breaking bones, no problem. If you are not into vintage video games and don't like comic books or anime then this movie is probably not for you. On the other hand, we thought it was brilliant.

Funny movie is MUCH cleaner than other michael cera movies!
Michael cera has been in a lot of adult movies or movies that weren't funny, but this one is ok for kids and is hilarious! My only concerns is some of the sexual content but the only thing in it is that a gay character makes out with guys and he says to the main character he needs to movie out so he can have sex with other guys

Great for Teens, not so much kids.
I love this movie! Though it has it's issues. There is MUCH sexual content that is not appropriate for younger children. It also has alot of cussing in it. There is a few uses of f**k but for laughs they bleep it out and cover the mouth with a black bar so you can't read the lips. There is no intense violence in this movie but can get very thrilling at times. No blood except for at the end when Scott scratches the top of Gideon's cheek (evil x number 7) and there is a little bit of blood. It dose have alot of humor though and I relay enjoyed this. I'm sure you will to.

Campy, over-the-top satire is superpowered, action-packed fun for teens!
Just how campy can you get with movies before they become stupid and stale? Well, I'd say just about this much. Wright's unbelievably over-the-top fantasy action comedy is sure to entertain teens and even some tweens. Michael Cera is perfect for the role of Scott Pilgrim. The story is funny and clever, the dialogue is witty, and messages are heart-warming, including taking responsibility for your actions. The action scenes are old-fashion, new-pop-retro-era, video-game-like in appearance (if that makes any sense). The action is extremely campy and over-the-top, even more so than the rest of the movie. The fights are fun to watch, even if, at times, they are a little eye-rollingly, rediculously wierd. Parents: The violence is fine, even for children. There's barely any blood (if any), the fights are as campy as the old Batman movies (but a lot more energetic), and when bad guys are defeated, they just explode into coins (yes, you read that right). Although a character is imapled, it's more intense and graphic (a lot more). A character seems to die, but it turns out okay. The only issue here is the language and the sexual references. They aren't horribly explicit, but they are fairly low-brow, although deifnitely not as bad as Cera's other films (Superbad and Youth in Revolt). Bottom Line: This is a very fun movie for fans of video games and Indie films (it also has a quirky/romantic feeling to it), plus most other teens and tweens. I recommend it for anyone looking for a good time. Thanks for reading! - Movie Man

Great Film But Small Language Issues
I love this film as an 11 year old i think its a great film but the language while not bad just frequent small words is a bit too much for under 10's but for 11. Maybe 10 its a good film it has a good message as well i LOVED it and i think alot of you out there will like it too. Remember Parents If In Dout Then Go And See It Your Self And Then Decide Theres Nothing Like A Good Excuse To Go And See A Film
