to not let my 9 year old daughter watch Mamma Mia?

[geekgirl]

Apparently all the other girls at school have seen it about a million times and she feels really left out .
I've looked at the BBFC listing and it doesn't sound like the right kind of fare for a 9 year old. But it does seem to be enormously popular with little girls. AIBU? As far as I can see, this is a film aimed at women, not at girls in primary school.

(and yes I do remember the utter humiliation of being the only one in my class not allowed to watch Jaws at the age of 9 - I did get over it)

i would say there's nothing a 9 year old shouldn't really see. couple of swear words. but as someone else says. there's the odd swear word said at home. the singing and dancing is so fantastic i would overlook that. and then innuendo is over the 9 yo head.

Cover your ears during Pierce Brosnan's singing.

and your eyes [wince]

jammi don't call me mean, we've seen it now (see further down the thread)

Although on top of asking about the possibility of three fathers and how that works, she then quizzed me on who paired off with whom, and when I said about Colin Firth's character going off with a Greek fella, she said that 'Well, they can't have sex, can they?' so had to go into a PG version of explaining that one.

DOn't do it - it's shit
