AIBU to think that PG does not necessarily mean "children will enjoy this"?

[Trills]

PG stands for Parental Guidance. This means a film is suitable for general viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for younger children. A PG film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. Parents should consider whether the content might upset younger or more sensitive children.

But that doesn't mean that the film will be of interest to a child, just that there have nothing that should upset them or that you wouldn't want them to see.

The child (8, 10, something like that) behind me at Life of Pi was clearly bored.

It isn't the French Revolution so she was wrong too.

I would never assume from the PG rating that a child would want to watch the film, I would just assume the film was appropriate if the child wanted to watch it.

I can only assume the children in Life of Pi had parents who thought they would like it. To me it looks like a pile of shit, but hey [bsmile]

I am guessing that she said French Revolution - it may have been "jail, rebellion, prostitutes, death, dirt" :o

yeah that is what trills meant they had no clue what it was about

I think I will give Les Mis a miss - I haven't been blown away by the trailers tbh and am really not keen on musicals where everything is sung.

if you are not keen on musicals death poverty and prostitution give it a miss valium [bgrin] ( oh scottish smilies)
