Would you let your 15 yr old daughter watch Knocked Up?

Let me tell you first hand, that I am not speaking of my own daughter. I believe that kids should reamin innocent as long as it's possible. But a relative of mine doesn't agree. One day I had a relative and her family over. Her and her husband wanted to watch the movie Knocked Up and I felt it was inappropriate for their 15 yr old daughter to watch. I warned them that based on the title of the movie it wasn't something to watch with her (besides I saw the movie and I wouldn't let my own kids watch that). Am I being over protective or is she too free spirited with what her child watches. Somebody please tell me something because I felt like the wrong one in this situation. Are 15 yr olds ready for that?

We just watched it last week. Both of my daughters (almost 18 and two weeks from 15) watched it. I think it just depends on the emotional maturity of the child in question. Some 15 year olds might not be able to deal with it, and some might. My daughter didn't see or hear anything that she wasn't aware of already....and just because she sees behavior in a movie doesn't mean she will go out and emulate it.

It was a very good movie and you are right it does depend on the individuals maturity level. Thanks

Yes, I would let my daughers watch Knocked up at 15 years of age. I also agree that it depends on the maturity level because every child is different. It does have a good story line and shows how difficult it can be to bring a child into the world before you're ready. After the movie, I would probably take the opportunity to ask questions and see if they had any as well.
