Is mamma mia the movie ok for kids?

The 2008 Mamma Mia movie has a PG-13 rating, which means that parents are strongly cautioned because the film contains some material that may be inappropriate for children under 13. Some of the reasons for the PG-13 rating include:

- Moderate crude humor with dialogue and suggestive word play

- Some suggestive situations

There is also a fair amount of alcohol consumption and partying in the film, but it is not glamorized.

Ultimately, whether or not a particular film is appropriate for a child depends on the individual child's maturity level. Some children may be more sensitive to certain material than others. It's always best to err on the side of caution, and it may be a good idea to preview the movie before deciding whether or not it is appropriate for your child.

In comparison, the musical version of Mamma Mia has no MPAA rating because it is performed live on stage. Individual theater companies often provide information about the age-appropriateness of their productions, but because the content can vary between companies and productions, it's always a good idea to research the show ahead of time or inquire with the theater directly.
