Hangover 2

[katiebug86]

Hey everyone. My brother, sister-in-law, and their three kids (ages 13 male, 11 female, and 9 female) came over tonight and we decided to watch movies. My brother wanted to watch The Hangover 2. None of them have seen the first movie. Before I started the movie I told them that I have seen both of them and did not think the movie was appropriate for the kids, and if they wanted to watch it I could put on a different movie in another room for the kids. The 13 year old ended up watching the movie with all of us. At the end of the movie (and the credits) my sister in law said "That movie wasn't bad that bad.. my kids could have watched it. They have seen worse" Um what? I know I don't have kids and these are not my children, but I do watch them on occasion (as well as my other nieces and nephews) and I wouldn't have let any of them watch this movie. I thought the movie was funny, but definitely not for kids. Am I being too uptight?

I would definately not let my 3 (17,14,11) watch this. We watched it the other night and I think it's more inappropriate than the first. My DD 17 watched the first, but I'm not suggesting she watch this one.

I definitely wouldn't watch that movie with any of my younger cousins. My 14 year old cousin told me before that she's seen it, but she wouldn't be watching it with me, that's for sure.

 

[cluvsdisney]

No, I don't think you're upright at all. That's a movie for adults.

I wouldn't approve of my kids (14,12) watching it

Saw #1 and we thought it was funny. I saw it with my now 18 and 16 year olds.

My 18 year old son saw Hangover 2 at the theater and came home and said "Mom, this movie is pretty vulgar, I don't think you should watch it!!"

I think The Hangover 2 is very NOT APPROPRIATE for kids of any age. However my stepson was allowed to watch it and he is only 12. This is the same stepson whose mom allows him to watch True Blood series. (full of hard core sex scenes) There is no age appropriate control with those kids and it shows in their words, actions and behaviors. They are hellions. I can't imagine letting my 12 yr old kid watch True Blood. That, to me, is just BAD PARENTING. Children should not be exposed to or allowed to watch 2 ADULTS HAVING SEX. That is never appropriate I don't care how liberal you are. That's just wrong.

I'm pretty liberal, and dd15 saw the first one (at a friend's home), but I won't let ds13 watch the first one (and apparently, he's the only kid who didn't see it, at least until I ask about specific kids, and know he's not the only one). I thought the first one was funny, but the second got horrible reviews, so I have no interest in seeing it.

BTW, a PP mentioned True Blood - that series, plus the Tudors, is soft porn, and I don't even watch it if the kids are home, and might walk into the room!

Parents need to know that, in attempting to surpass the original film, this R-rated comedy sequel is even cruder and more explicit than the first installment (i.e. full-frontal shots of pre-operative transgender characters). This time around, the three main characters wake up in Bangkok with no memory of what transpired the previous night, only to learn that their evening included drug deals, a severed finger, plenty of drugs and drinking, and a surprising encounter with strippers. All of this is punctuated with non-stop swearing, including tons of F-bombs.

Yeah, sounds like a great movie for children, LOL.

 

[HonnyDipp]

I saw the movie and the stripper club scene alone is not appropriate for a child. I would not recommend the pics at the end that showed what they really did the night before. WHOA!

 

[Wall-E1]

It's not an appropriate movie for kids younger than high school age. My son has seen the first one, but not the second one(I have seen it). He's in high school now. I wouldn't have an issue with him watching the second one at his age. He, like me, enjoys crude humor. As to the frontal nudity, I don't think it a big deal. As a teenager, he obviously knows what one looks like. He's seen other movies with full frontal - Forgetting Sarah Marshall, 28 Days Later, etc. He sees nudity and sex on tv, as he watches Game of Thrones and American Horror Story. So basically, his little mind is already corrupted beyond salvation.

 

[Disneycrazy!!]

That movie is BAD for kids! I would NEVER let my 14 year watch that movie! I would be emberressed to even sit in the same room with her while that movie was on!

 

[happygirl]

I couldn't image watching that show with my kids in the room

 

[beaucoup]

I'm in my mid 40s & couldn't even watch the first movie with my 80 yr old parents in the room. We quickly turned it off & decided on another movie.

 

[vettegirl]

I am right there with you not appropriate for kids, it's sad that people let their children watch stuff like this, let them be little for as long as possible, as you only get one childhood.

 

[cluvsdisney]

I'm in my mid 40s & couldn't even watch the first movie with my 80 yr old parents in the room. We quickly turned it off & decided on another movie.

I keep thinking the same thing. One year for mothers day she wanted to see Unfaithful with Diane Lane & Richard Gere...I said no way! That movie would be like porn to her.

 

[MrsJackSparrow4Life]

I don't think you are up tight but it is their children so they get to make the decisions on whether it is an appropriate movie for them to see. What they watch when they are just with you is a separate issue but if the parents are there then it is their call, not yours.

 

[StephMK]

Nope, I agree w/you. My younger 2 are 11 & 9 and no way will they be watching either of them. I didn't even want my DD16 watching the first one but she finally did at a friend's house. She was the only one of her buddies who hadn't seen it yet.

 

[3smithboys]

My oldest DS is 13 and I'm sure he's want to watch it if we'd let him, but there would be no way that would happen. We also watch Trueblood and that is not for kids at all!!!

 

[CaliforniaDreamin]

Zach Galifianakis is from the county I live in, and our local paper quoted him as saying that he was signing an autograph for a boy about 12 or 13. The boy told him that The Hangover was his favorite movie and Zach asked him who let him watch it and he said he watched it with his parents. Zach told him his parents should know better. I kinda respected that.

I have to admit that my DDs 16 and 18 have seen both movies and I actually took them to see part 2 in the movies. I thought I would die at some of the scenes. That movie was way worse than the first one.
