| My kids finally watched Three Amigos with me and they loved it - I feel like that has been my greatest parenting success of late - ha ha. Ages 11 and 13. What would you watch to keep up the great comedy? A lot of the hilarious older comedies have gratuitous nudity (nudity is fine with me, but not the gratuitous variety which only features women) and a lot of sexual innuendos. Three Amigos seemed tame in those departments. |

"Planes, Trains and Automobiles" will be a good holiday movie for them...but it does have that F-bomb scene. But still. Very funny!
"Ferris Bueller's Day Off" "Big" "Mrs. Doubtfire" "Home Alone" |

Space Balls Fletch The Money Pit- that bathtub scene makes me laugh so hard I cry. Here it is https://youtu.be/9CJ9EDtZ2p8 |

The Jerk
Waterboy |
| Young Frankenstein |
Too young for the Jerk by far and the Waterboy is a lame, unfunny, crude movie. |
A 13 year old is not too young for The Jerk. |
