Why it’s a little special

An easygoing palace comedy with a stronger emphasis on choosing one's own future. The grandmother-granddaughter partnership remains its most appealing relationship.

BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY

Know the story.
Know your little people.

General audiences

US film rating

Pressure to marry, manipulation, public embarrassment and romantic rivalry. Kissing and mild innuendo appear, but most conflict is social rather than physically dangerous.

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