Yes, easily one of the best (if not THE best) movies I've ever seen! And yes, the swearing was humorous at worst and a non-issue at best. I'll definitely let D see it when it comes to DVD (he'll probably be nine by then).

I really wish I had taken kids! I did go on that site that has parents rate it. It got a lot of flack for VIOLENCE and SEX. Umm...where? So, I was disappointed that the site missed the mark. Did you/kids ever see Searching for Bobby Fischer? A must!

I have Searching on video, and I used to show it to my students when I was teaching -- I agree, it's an amazing film!

Loved this movie SO much, too! Must see it again! I agree -- all three main actors should receive Oscars for their performances.

Geoffery Rush is one of the most intense/incredible actors ever, isn't he?

I saw it this weekend, too. Took my fifteen-year-old son who was baffled by the R rating. Such a great movie!

If it didn't have the R rating, it would be used in schools. A shame. While I read the director was very upset by the rating, he declined to release a version a few weeks ago that deleted the curses. I don't know...I personally would have done it so it reaches a wider audience. But, his film!

I totally agree. A GREAT movie! I think we'll be buying it on DVD.

Us, too. It should be out soon. They come out so fast, don't they?

I just saw that movie the other day too and ADORED it! I think the R rating is misleading, too. I'm going to take all my kids to see it and my youngest is 10. That was one of the best movies I've seen period!

Agreed. Have your kids seen Searching for Bobby Fischer? If not, rent it.

M and I and M's unofficial Little Brother (then 14) all loved Searching for Bobby Fischer. Our teenaged friend was good at chess but had dyslexia. He felt validated by this movie.
