Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

Comic threats, chase scenes, slapstick injuries, mild rude humor, and some innuendo. The Smurfs are animated characters sharing the screen with live actors.

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