Kiss on the cheek.

Language includes the British slang "bloody." Characters insult others by calling them "fat" and a "prat."

Characters occasionally smoke cigarettes.

Parents need to know that Brian and Charles is a quirky British comedy about a lonely man who builds himself a robot friend. It has a lot of heart and a main character with an infectious, blissful outlook on life. Brian (David Earl) never gives up, and when things don't go his way -- which is the majority of the time -- he's always able to pick himself up and try again. He's also brave, standing up to those who bully others, and demonstrates humility, perseverance, and ingenuity. The film can be a little sad at times, and the scenes that deal with bullying can be a bit intense. But there are also slapstick-like scenes/ Language is mild ("bloody," "prat"), and there's a small peck on the cheek. Characters occasionally smoke cigarettes.
