Parents say that while the film carries nostalgic value and elements of fun adventure, it is not appropriate for younger children due to excessive swearing, frightening scenes, and adult themes like bullying, sexuality, and drug references that may not align with contemporary standards for family-friendly content. Many recommend careful consideration before viewing with children, as reactions to its dated content can vary widely—some parents find it acceptable for older children while others feel it should be reserved for teens.
