We made a big mistake seeing this movie. I took m 7 yr -old son to see this on opening night. He is a huge car buff. I had NO idea what this movie would contain. I I learned my lesson to do more research first!! I was shocked to see that this movie is rated PG. I would skip this. I wish we had. The bad guys are scary, there were more cuss words than we needed to hear, too much violence and what I felt like were sexual innuendos. The one good thing I will say for this movie was that the Racer family was a good, clean family. Speed Racer was certainly seduced by the devil (Royalton), but stood for what he believed was right and protected his family. This could have been a nice , clean movie, but they had to throw in the language and violence. About halfway through, my son wanted to leave. It didn't hold his interest. Too much story to follow. I had a hard time following it myself,

We are Christians and I took my 8 year old last night and found the movie to be totally inappropriate. The movie tries to package itself as a "kids" movie but its undertone is decidedly adult/worldly with many women dressed in very suggestive clothing and acting as if they worked in a Vegas nightclub. The violence was way overdone. Some scenes had visuals that could be described as a drug induced sensory distorted state of mind. The bad guys were down right scary - even by adult standards. Throw in the sprinkled in bad language and an obscene gesture by a young boy and this is a movie to avoid .
