Use of the word D--n at least 6 or 7 times, referring to a female as a "broad, " using the term, "h--l of, " and saying, "what the h--l!" When i read a review of this movie, i thought that it would be alright to show based on the comment. I've included the unsuitable language used for 5 year olds so that you can make a well informed decision without having to rent it for yourself.

I thought this movie was awful. There were too many hells and damns and talk of 'scratching out' the main character for a young audience; and certainly it was too tedious and boring for older viewers. I watched it with my 4 yr old who thankfully didn't get what 'scratch him out' meant but she did get the underlying nasty tone of the movie. The cat, Snowball, at one point tells Stuart to 'talk to the butt.' I cringed when that came out hoping my daughter wasn't going to catch that and repeat it (which she didn't, whew!). This is not a film I would comfortably recommend for children 8 and under. Frankly I won't recommend it for anyone, it just isn't good.

I asked my kids what they thought about the movie. My six year old was disappointed that it had very little to do with the book (which we loved). My ten year old said that the cats would be a little scary to little kids under age 7. The movie was sort of good, she thought. Personally, I didn't like the mean kid aspect during the boat race (bullying), nor did I appreciate the whole kidnapping theme. I'm not a big fan of movies for kids, so take this review with a grain of salt if you love kids' movies. I would have given it two stars, but I love to hear and/or see Michael J. Fox (I was a teen in the 80s), who was Stuart in this movie.

Viewers that have read the book might have noticed that the movie's events are only in half of the book.An instant classic!!

Excellent movie- great for kids

The language could have been toned down, but the overall plot overrides this, making this a very good kids movie.

Hi, I'm ten years old and I think this movie is wonderful and It shows that "North South East West always know that home is best" There is a bit of harsh langue and betraying. But in all a Fabulous Family Movie to watch over and over again!

The infants would think it was Stewart's hell when he was trapped in a wash machine. Not for toddlers.

This movie is very funny.I remember seeing it one day at school (and the school day was over),the movie was AWESOME!
