What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Some families might be uncomfortable with Madonna's take on spirituality and religion.

  • Violence:

    A few violent images in "The Beast Within," in a religious context.

  • Sex:

    The usual sexy innuendo. Reference to a "social disease" in "Nobody Knows Me."

  • Language:

    A few four-letter words are used in the DVD. "F--k" is used on "I Love New York."

  • Consumerism:

    CD insert advertises "Madonna Shop" products.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    One or two references to drug use.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About I'm Going to Tell You a Secret

Parents need to know that they can expect Madonna's usual mix of sexual innuendo and quirky spirituality. At this point, though, Madonna seems to think she's far more outrageous than we do.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about Madonna's amazingly long career, one in which she has reinvented herself over and over again. What does it take to have that kind of longevity in show business? Which other contemporary artists do you think will still be around, selling out arena shows 25 years from now?
