    I rate this title iffy for age 13 and give it 5.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Inappropriate language

    Hilarious, but really not that great content-wise

    This movie is hilarious.....minus the innuendos and language. The first scene is the most awkward, just fast forward through the first five minutes and you won't miss a thing!

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 2.0

    Eh, just an okay movie

    I was actually surprised by the constant flow of sexual innuendo. There a lot of subtle images and lines in the movie that kids and tweens likely wouldn't get, but considering the more blatant content and behavior, I'd reccomend the movie for kids 15+

    I rate this title iffy for age 13 and give it 3.0

    Great Teen Film

    This movie is a great action fantasy film about the old west. Age 15+ though I would say.
