As you both said the decision (for movie readiness and exposure to life experience) hinges upon a parent's understanding of their child and comfort/ability to discuss mature, confusing or difficult topics and imagery. Otherwise known as intentional parenting. I just watched the Three Amigos with my kids. I know the movie well. El Guapo is pretty rapey, but otherwise it's a wholesome comedy. I was waiting for one particular line; "Do you know what foreplay is? Good. Neither does El Guapo." Either it would fly over my 11 year old's head or he would ask me about it. He went for the latter option, to which I readily responded "It's the beginning part of sex." There were no follow up questions, but I was prepared anyway...

One of those nice debates where I actually agree with both people about everything :)
