Read More Cute movie, but not for young kids. It's ashame that the movie included some profanity and the brief sexual encounter, otherwise it would be perfect for the whole family. They could have easily left out those scenes and changed the language without any negative impact to the movie. Unfortunately, when F___ was said by one of the 13 year old boys in the movie, I had to scramble for the remote to fast-forward the movie in case there was any more filthy language -- since I was watching it with my two young boys who had never heard filth like that before. I wish I would have read the reviews first. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This movie depicts everything we deal with: wishes, tough choices, growing pains, and love. Tom Hanks' performance was excellent in this movie - as well as the actor's who played him at age 13. A rating of PG 13 still includes the "parental guidance" part and would be an appropriate rating.

Read More I was very diappointed, actually horrified, while watching with my 9 year old to hear both the f-word and a**h*** and watch as a "mentally and emotionally still a child" character gropes the breast of a grown woman. This movie came out 5 years after the PG-13 rating, so why is it rated PG?!?! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Interesting story line which could have reached a larger audience without things like a 13 year old using the "f" word and wanting to see his teachers' breasts. Also, the sexual context and content between Hanks and Perkins was totally inappropriate for what otherwise would have been a great family show - adults only for this one - do not allow children to view it.
