Rated PG-13 for sexual content, crude humor, language and brief nudity.
Directed by Ivan Reitman
Starring Uma Thurman, Luke Wilson…
A very creative idea, but the rating says it all.
Another example of yesterday’s ‘R’ … today’s ‘PG-13.’ If you let your 13-year-old watch this film, you’ll be letting them watch Uma mount Luke and ride him like a rodeo bull. No nudity, but several minutes of ‘PG-13’ sex. If you’re cool with that… then go for it. And don’t forget to put other films like Click and The Benchwarmers in your queue.
Super X is about a guy who ends up dating a superhero, but when he dumps her, his life becomes a living hell. Funny premise, racy delivery.
I’d skip it.
SHOULD KIDS SEE IT?
Nope. Plenty of PG-13 sex and crude humor.
