children movie


What idiot thought that a movie that deals with a prostitute would be a good children's movie?

The men who made it, Siskel and Ebert suggested they may have been so used to living with and dealing with prostitutes, strippers, etc, that they didn't actually know what normal women were like. I believe them, too.

it's not a big deal. The movie is a comedy and it got a pg13 rating. It was a different time and less social justice warriors around trying to tell people how to live.

I watched it as a kid, it was fine. People today are just too PC and worried about even speaking to children about sex. The movie is more about the fact that nobody wants to be real and blunt with kids about sexuality, so they go looking for the answers where they shouldn't. I doubt this specific scenario has happened before, but the idea that kids (especially little boys on the cusp of puberty) have questions that make adults uncomfortable is very true and still common to this day.
