I would highly recommend that parents take their older children to this film. Yes, there is foul language--which is integral to the story (not gratuitous), but the film is so affirming, such a good example of someone working hard to overcome a problem, and so well done. I would certainly prefer any child of my acquaintance to spend 2 hours seeing this film rather than PG-13 ones that include people's faces getting blown away or being hopelessly inane. A great film. The audience applauded at the end.
