Well, mine don't count because they're adults, but IMHO, I wouldn't let mine that young watch it Cindy. Mine always thought I was SO mean for not letting them watch certain things. We even fast forwarded scenes in Princess Bride when they were small because I knew it would be too intense for them. They make fun of me now for it, but I remember how sensitive they were.
I never ever went by the ratings though. There were many PG-13 movies that I still felt were inappropriate for 13....sometimes even when my son was 17 I didn't want him seeing some, but I've let them see a lot of R rated ones. I prefer some violence (when they are older) and swearing to so many sexual situations. I would almost always see the movie first, or read as many reviews on them.
You know your own kids. Watch it first and then you'll know if you feel it would be too much. It would've been for my kids at age 7....maybe not so much at 10 or 11.
Again...I never ever went by the ratings. I think they should just be rated on a scale for different things (violence, sex, language, drug use, etc...) but not give an age.
