Don't let the PG rating fool you.
Don't get me wrong. Rango is hilarious. But this cartoon was made more for adults than kids. We thought the PG rating was because it was a Western and would have some action.
Nope. "Hell" was used liberaly throughout the movie. One character used "Damn!" for no reason. I must admit, I began to get worried whenever Rango was talking with a Barbie torso that had one arm and he said, "Are those things real?"
It is too bad Hollywood continues to throw this junk into kids' movies and I am learning to expect this type of crude content from Nickelodeon anyway. My suggestion would be to keep the kids away from this movie unless those words are commonly used in your house--which with my experience as an educator, I know these words aren't a big deal in some households. The other day, I heard a kindergartner drop the "F bomb" in the bathroom and his teacher nearly came unglued. But kids hear this stuff at home. What makes me even madder is when a parent comes up to the school and reams their kids for repeating what they hear at home. One time when I was a middle school principal, a mom came up and said, "What the hell were you thinking? I can't believe you'd talk like that at school, dammit!" Boy, that's world-class parenting for you right there.
