Appropriate for Private School?


Rocketman is REQUIRED watching in our family....but my daughter's teacher has asked me to bring in a movie for the class to watch tomorrow. It's a VERY conservative private school...I honestly cannot remember if there are any questionable parts and don't have time to rewatch tonight. Can anyone advise?

Why would this not be a film appropriate for private school?? I went to a private school a few years back and we watched this movie along with some others like gladiator and saving private ryan. I think this movie should be fine, there are only a few jokes that flirt with questionable status, nothing else, its PG for goodness sake, common.

I brought this into school a few years ago, and it was fine. There are no questionable parts really, it's DISNEY

I guess the only part that would raise any questions would be when he says "It'll be an honor sleeping with you... in seperate beds of course". But I'm sure that will be fine. It is PG.

There's the bar scene where Randall gets drunk.
That's the first thing that comes to mind that the conservative teachers would immediately disapprove of.

Other then that, make the kids laugh! This movie is gold.

No, its best to leave it for the Public Heathens!!!!
