Watching Experience: Nothing of note with my experience regarding mature content. Quality(opinionated): (My rating) Rated PG-13 For language including strong uses and some slurs, comical violence and suggestive material including brief nudity.

Its a good movie, i would highly suggest it for teens. Its a too inappropriate for kids though. It does have a couple sexual scenes and some sexual humor.

this movie is really fun, with a bunch of sexual refences that will porbably go over little kids heads, there is a sex scene that is (although comedic) a bit racy, and you may have to skip, there is a good bit of swearing but not too much, there's also a bit of violence, and themes such as crime and betrayal, but as it's all portrayed comeidly it's not too bad.

I watched this movie when I was 9 and found it hilarious, I'm from Britain so I was brought up on this sort of stuff but I guess children used to american comedy might not get a lot of the jokes. There's a fair smackering of violence, but it's generally slapstick and not too gory. Theres a five minute scene in which two characters are preparing to have sex (although they never actually do) and make lots of sexual remarks. Some nudity and swearing but nothing too bad. Obviously the whole point of the film is that the people involved are all awful so, tbh, CMS, I don't know what you were hoping for when you say that it has 'bad role models'. Overall, a terrific film, I seem to remember a pet fish getting eaten at some point which upset me as a 9 year old so ya know, whatch out for that. Hilarious.

This film is very entertaining, but it does not display any sort of good message or moral. I do think I was a bit too young to watch this movie, but I think other teens would very much enjoy it. There is a lot of swearing and sex related actions, but I really liked the film.

A fish called wanda is an absolute classic! The sexual content is sort of over the top sexually suggestive though. About 30 f-words and s-words. Sexual content is only really big issue. Great movie.

Parents should know that this movie is overall very funny, but is also cruel at times, so it is not good for sensitive children. The language is fine, probably nothing your kid hasn't heard, and there is a lot of sex, but no nudity. The only part I find disturbing is that three dogs died, and you can see their dead bodies (but they look very unreal.) CSM says that you should not let your kids see it, but that is mostly because there are no positive role models, which I think is crazy of them because THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS MOVIE! So yeah, this movie is OK for your child's first R rated movie, unless they are sensitive or really love dogs. The dogs do die in a way that is supposed to be funny, but to me is was just cruel of the director to add that part.

"A Fish Called Wanda" follows four diverse criminals who team up for a diamond robbery before banding against one another in the race for the loot. Along the way, one of the thieves, Wanda, manipulates mastermind George's barrister into getting George to plead guilty, only to find herself falling in love with the barrister. It's one of the all-time high-points of the career of writer and star John Cleese, but that's not to say the rest of the cast don't get their fair share of laughs: Kevin Kline's performance as the arrogant, stupid weapons man Otto is hilarious to the point of being infuriating! Highlights, of which there are many, include George's right-hand man Ken's bid to kill off the chief witness against George, and Archie trying desperately to conduct his affair with Wanda without interruption. Beware of sex and strong language, however.

Maybe you'll disagree, but I just didn't think this was funny. Not John Cleese at his normal standards... Parents should be careful - there's very strong language, a sex scene, the detailed killings of dogs and fish, mistreatment of people with disabilities etc.
