Watch it alone before you share it with your kids.

I liked it when I was younger, but the one time I rented it after I had kids,
I took it back without sharing it with them because of much use of "the 'n'
word," which at the time they had never heard, and which even now they've heard
very rarely, and I'm interested in keeping it that way. Someday they'll see
it.

It's worth a warning.
Being born in the 50's and having Texas redneck relatives, I heard it
countless times as a young child, but moving to Northern New Mexico, that use and
reference stopped cold, and there ARE still some pockets of the world where
political correctness in terms of terms <g> has a semblance of maintenance.

Thanks for the warning, Sandra. Accalia usually doesn't want to watch any of
"our" movies with us yet. She'll run upstairs and watch her own thing unless
we happen to be watching Spiderman or Hulk :)
