[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I vote 11 is too young.  There is a lot of drinking and sexual activity in the movie.[/quote]

This is kind of what I was thinking (I'm the OP).  DD says "all" her friends have seen it and reference lines from the movie all the time.  But from what I remember of it, it's very much high-school-ish humor, innuendo, etc.  Very funny movie... just not sure I need to show my 11 yr. old quite yet.  I guess I'll be the uncool mom a bit longer.   :wink:   Thanks for all the opinions.[/quote]

I would say middle school is a good age.

Did you ask your daughter who "all" is?

When my kids were 10-12 and would use the "everyone" argument, I would always ask for specific names. Usually "everyone" meant 2-4 other kids, or several of the perceived popular kids. Not everyone and not all.

Maybe a compromise would be to youtube some of the funnier and more age appropriate scenes and let her watch those so she has a a bit to talk about or can get some of the references.  I have a friend who did that with their kindergartner for the new Star Wars movie. He can talk about the characters and spaceships but hasn't seen the actual movie.[/quote]
