PG-13

The film was actually rated R by the MPAA upon release, but we think that's being a wee bit harsh.

Don't get us wrong: this movie is not what you want to watch with your five-year-old niece. But there's no real blood or gore. Then there's some language, but nothing you wouldn't hear outside of a middle school. And instead of a bow-chicka-bow-bow finale with the two lovebirds, we get a very family friendly dance in a train station.

We'd say though that above all else, Slumdog Millionaire is an inspiring, feel-good story, one that is uplifting and empowering enough to show the whole fam. (Well, everyone who's at least thirteen.)
