Family Friendly?

Billy Elliot which is indeed about a child, but would probably not be a show to bring the whole family too. This show is "littered liberally" with bad language which is often spoken by the children in the show themselves. There are also a few violent rioting scenes that might make this show unsuitable for children. On the other hand, this shows message would be a great thing for the tweens and teens of our communities to experience.
