I'm kinda on the fence about this film but I'm going with "no" for children and young teens!. For one thing, children who are not familiar with a child with severe learning disabilities may not understand Arnie's frequent misbehavior!. Too, Gilbert is having an affair with a married woman named Betty Carver (Mary Steenburgen)!. The ending is a sad one (the burning down of one's home with the mother inside)!. How would you explain that scene to a child or young teen!? As for Benny and Joon, I'd say that it's alright for teens and up--as long as they don't try one of the notable stunts in the movie: Making a grilled cheese sandwich using an iron on the ironing board!. lolWww@Enter-QA@Com
I've seen it and liked it, but I wouldn't show it to children!. Teens, maybe!. It depends on how mature they are b/c there are lots of things to make fun of (immaturely) and the whole point would be lost!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
