My son is 12. Mrs Occhi and I consider the ketchup count a bit high, and a number of the adult situations to be such that he can wait a year or two. We have it on VHS, it will be there when he is, in our judgment, "ready."

After reading your post I thought about what I was like at 12 and I agree with you and the Mrs' decision completely. There are plenty of other movies to watch at that young age. Especially other movies with a happy ending.
On the other hand, kids seem to grow up much faster nowadays. When we go out now, I can see cannae-be-over-14-years-old half-pints sitting in bars, drinking alcohol and smoking. Where is this world going to? Either that's no care-free childhood or I've turned into a grumpy semi-old man. At least we waited to around 16 before going out doing such things...
