Iffy for 14+

Okay princess story -- nothing special.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie includes gender-bending seductions, including a same-sex kiss. There are no four-letter words, but there's some spicy language and brief nudity.

  • Families can talk about how people right the wrongs of their forebears and about the complications of getting to know someone and have to decide how much of the truth about yourself to share.
