Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

Alien battles, creature attacks, death, mild language, innuendo, and revealing costumes. Some action is intense beneath the comic premise.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
