Can I take my 8 year old cousin to see "Bruno" ?

[Free4Life11]

I'm supposed to be babysitting, but I really want to see that and I have two free passes to it. I am very liberal and he is VERY mature for his age and I think it will spark some great conversations with his ultra-conservative parents. What do you think?

 

[HeatherH]

SERIOUSLY?

NO!

It's rated R for:

"pervasive strong and crude sexual content, graphic nudity and language"

It's EXTREMELY raunchy. Not something an 8-year-old needs to see. I wouldn't even consider it.

Go see it when you're not babysitting and take the 8-year-old to a more age-appropriate movie.

 

[Mouse House Mama]

YOU might be liberal but I am willing to bet Mom and Dad are not so much. You really think it is appropriate for an 8 year old? Really?

 

[MichelleVW]

You're kidding right?

 

[java]

Um unless you never want to babysit again that would be a big old NO.

You could ask his parents if they would allow it. But why create the drama?

 

[The Mystery Machine]

The would be a serious NO!

 

[Allison]

Bored tonight huh?

 

[MM27]

that would be a really good way to get out of babysitting duties

 

[Cinderelli16]

Definatly not.

 

[Carys]

I wouldn't be comfortable taking an 8-yo to that movie based on its rating and the pre-advertising even if their parents agreed, sorry.

 

[mjantz]

I have an 8YO & if you took her to see 'Bruno', not only would I be seriously peeved but I'd be having a serious talk with your parents about your behavior.

Don't do it.

 

[jameybano]

Just saw it and NO NO NO

 

[jaycat]

NO!!! Not a movie for and 8 year old even if he is mature!

 

[Missy1961]

No. I really hope you're joking about this. There is no way I'd even think about taking an 8 yr old to see that movie, I don't care how mature they are.

I can't even post exerpts from the review w/o getting points.....

 

[HomeSweetDisney]

It doesn't matter how mature you may think your cousin is, Bruno is NOT an appropriate movie for an 8 year old child to watch. I'm pretty liberal myself and if I found out someone took my 8 year old kid to see Bruno you can bet they'd never be babysitting for me ever again.

For adults, it's fine. Kids...no way.

 

[Stacerita]

Im thinking this has got to be a joke.

 

[BigMama]

my 17 year old son just came home from seeing it and he found it to be very offensive

 

[Gagirl69]

No....You know his parents would not approve of it so why would you even think to do that. If you did something like that with my child I would have a hard time not putting my foot up your a**.

Im thinking this has got to be a joke.
