What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Unsuspecting friends, family members, and other wedding guests are the victims of practical jokes that probably aren't as funny for them as they are for viewers. Some are clearly distraught before the prank is revealed.
  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Couples kiss at their wedding.
  • Language:

    "Hell" is audible; various forms of "f--k" are bleeped.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Wedding reception guests drink champagne and wine.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About The Real Wedding Crashers

Parents need to know that this hidden-camera series from some of the folks behind Punk'd isn't as mean-spirited as its MTV cousin. Unsuspecting wedding guests find themselves at the receiving end of elaborate practical jokes designed and choreographed by their friends and a team of improv actors. While most of them handle their victimization well in the end, their emotional distress is obvious as the jokes play out. Parents' main concern here is occasional strong language ("hell" is the worst of it, and rare uses of "f--k" are bleeped), but young tweens may need to be reminded that although practical jokes can be funny, it's not always fun to be the one in the hot seat.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about practical jokes. Tweens: Have you ever played a practical joke on someone? When it was over, did the "victim" think it was funny? Have you ever been the butt of a joke? How did it feel? When are jokes harmless, and when do they hurt? What's the difference between laughing at someone and laughing with them? Which do you see more of in the media?
