Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

Suggestive dating jokes, rude humor, language, comic animal mistreatment, and slapstick. Romance occupies a large part of the story.

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