The movie is too mature for young kids.


As an adult, I love this movie. However, if I ever had children, I wouldn’t let them watch it until they were in their teens. It’s way too dark, violent and brooding. The juvenile delinquency is graphic in its own way. But the most disturbing thing about the movie is how much profanity there is. That’s a definite no-no in a kids film, IMO.

You sound like an over protective parent. Let them enjoy this film. When I was their age I was already watching Revenge of the Nerds including the scene "We've got BUSH!"

If you thought that was bad I was also watching The Toxic Avenger and Swamp Thing.

Tell that to my brother, who was 7 years old at the time. He loved that movie like crazy!
