Free Guy movie rating: Is the film appropriate for kids?

Free Guy starring Ryan Reynolds is finally in theaters on Aug. 13, 2021. The movie seems like a lot of fun as it follows a character living inside a video game, but Ryan Reynolds isn’t exactly known for his kid-friendly projects. Is the Free Guy movie appropriate for kids?

When you think of Ryan Reynolds, Deadpool likely comes to mind, a movie that is not family-friendly. Can the same be said about Free Guy or is this movie okay to take everyone in the family to watch? Here’s what we know!

Free Guy follows a guy simply known as, well, Guy (Reynolds), a non-player character living inside Free City, a game. When Guy learns who he is and that the game developer is shutting down Free City, it’s a race against the clock to become the hero the game needs.

The movie also stars Jodie Comer, Lil Rel Howery, Taika Waititi, Joe Keery, and others.

Fun concept and awesome cast, but you’re likely still wondering about the film’s rating.

What is the Free Guy movie rated?

Rotten Tomatoes shares that the Free Guy movie is rated PG-13 for language, crude and suggestive references, and strong fantasy violence.

A PG-13 rating means that the target audience is those 13-years-old and over. Anyone under 13 may not enjoy the movie as it may not be appropriate for young eyes.

Ultimately, the choice is up to the parent! If you have a kiddo who loves video games and has seen other PG-13 movies, they may be able to handle this one. Otherwise, I would check out another, more appropriate film for them to watch.

Also in theaters this weekend: RESPECT, Don’t Breathe 2, CODA, The Kissing Booth 3 (Netflix), and others. The month of August 2021 will also see the release of The Night House, PAW Patrol, and Candyman. Which movie are you looking forward to most?
