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

    • My highlights are:
    • Positive messages
    • Good role models

    Considering the raunchy humor in this film, I'm shocked at the number of people who think this is a family film. If you don't let your kids watch "Desperate Housewives", they shouldn't be watching this movie either. Aside from the raunchy humor, this movie is well-written and is filled with many witty moments and surprises. The acting is brilliant and the old-fashioned feel to it reminds me of "Pushing Daisies". All in all, I highly recommend "Young Frankenstein" for teens.

    Very Surprised!

    I know I saw this movie years ago when I was a teenager but I didn't recall this much sex being thrown around. I was looking forward to watching an old funny movie. I was very surprised and disapoointed. The review I checked on was "soft" in it's descriptions. Even if it is done in play it is still too much. Madaline howls like a dog when it shows her looking down at his private parts as he is undoing his pants and then lays down on her and she sings out in joy. Then it shortly shows the two of them smoking, apparntly having had sex and then going at it again for the 7th time!? There is more of this through out the movie, too much and it just spoils it. It's just not a movie that a family would enjoy.

    Still funny

    One use of the word S*&^. No F words. Many of the inuendo jokes will go over a kids head until they know the meaning of more slang. The implied sex sceenes are again "implied." Likely as not they won't understand the implication, they will have seen far racier things on soaps or prime time TV.

    Very Funny Movie

    This movie is very funny, you'll remember it for a long time. Some stuff is a little racy, to much for children

    I love this movie... it's a movie that basically makes fun of horror movies. It's hardly scary for anyone about 8 and up, and it's a movie to get everyone laughing.
