The Simpsons Movie
Review by Russ Breimeier | posted 7/27/2007

The Family Corner

For parents to consider

The Simpsons Movie is rated PG-13 for irreverent humor throughout, similar to what you would expect from the long-running show. There's only a little profanity, though Marge profanes God's name in a way unsuitable for television, and Homer flips the bird. The irreverent humor also makes light jabs at Christianity (as with everything), shows characters using drugs or alcohol (including Bart), makes sexual innuendo, and in one quick flash, seems to linger on Bart's "doodle" while he's skateboarding in the nude. It's not as overtly crass as shows like South Park or Family Guy, but take the PG-13 rating seriously.
