Would you let your 13yo DD watch Bridget Jones?

[Todayisanewday75]

Going with my mum to watch it next week and would like to bring DD along. What do you think? I’m in two minds

It’s a 15

Yes

No.

No.

No

No. It’s all about drinking, smoking and shagging your way through 1990s publishing and TV.

Yes. It's mildly smutty but nothing she won't already know.

Surely it wouldn't make sense unless you've seen the first three. And I wouldn't really wanting a 13 year old watching them.

It's 15 rated so she won't get in if they check her age.

No.

The new one is a 15 so unlikely she'd get in anyway

No.

It's not for 13 year olds. It's mainly about grief and middle age. I don't think she'd enjoy it.

You can't take 13 year olds to see 15 rated films. There is a reason for that.

It’s a 15 rating so you risk her not being able to get in anyway if they are checking. And the rating would make think no not appropriate certainly not if you also haven’t had a chance to watch yourself before to get a gauge for any difficult bits.

that doesn't sound very appealing to me that alone or 13 year-old!!

I think I'll just wait till it comes out on the telly

Oh for fucks sake! Obviously it’s absolutely fine for a 13 year old to watch.
dunno how old she’ll look and whether she would get into cinema but Jesus it’s not like you’re trying to smuggle her into A Clockwork Orange!

Yes.

She probably won't get in because of the age rating but ignoring that I'd let her watch it. I took my step daughter who is 15 and she enjoyed it. She needs to watch the first three films though so that she gets the story line.

I saw it yesterday, brilliant. I haven’t seen the first three, but that didn’t matter as this was still a great story. There was mostly woman 40 plus there.

I wouldn’t take a 13 year old.

No idea why it's a 15. Yes I would OP but of she gets checked she won't be allowed in.

No
It's aimed at people who know the full story from the beginning, it's a great film but about motherhood, grief and sex...

I’d let my 13 year old watch the first one, it’s silly and risqué but it was our usual sleepover film back in year 9 in 2003ish.

The new one - saw it yesterday. It’s parenting, grief, shagging in your 40s… I thought it was fabulous but I can’t imagine 13 year old me enjoying it. Not glamorous or aspirational enough 😅

Its really only a 15 due to spoken sex references and swearing, I wouldn’t worry about a 13yo in that respect but I don’t think she’d enjoy the content.

Thanks for all the replies. On reflection I won’t take her, not because I have an issue with her watching it but because she might not get in and she might find it boring.

Yes, but I doubt she'd enjoy it - it's aimed at middle aged mums, not teenage girls!
