Epic Movie

2007

When the Pevensie siblings each follow their own path, they find themselves at Willy's Chocolate Factory. Walking through a wardrobe, they discover the world of Gnarnia, ruled by the White Bitch. Meeting up with characters such as Harry Potter and Captain Jack Swallows, the newly reunited family must team up with Aslo, a wise-but-horny lion to stop the White Bitch's army.

Why this age? Frequent crude sexual humor, brief nudity, drinking and vomiting, strong comic violence, repeated deaths, and dark/gross-out jokes make this inappropriate for most younger viewers. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.

What’s in it?

Products & advertising2/5
Why this rating?

The story prominently parodies branded or recognizable media properties and includes a candy-bar Golden Ticket plot, without functioning as a product advertisement.

Death of a character4/5
Why this rating?

Multiple characters die, including parents, major allies, Dumbledore, McGonagall, Hagrid, the siblings, and the villain; some deaths are reversed or comic.

Graphic injury2/5
Why this rating?

Occasional mild gore, often in the context of crude, over-the-top gags.

Strong language3/5
Why this rating?

Contains frequent coarse language, profanity, and crude insults.

LGBTQIA characters2/5
Why this rating?

Tumnus is identified as having a male life partner, but their relationship is a brief comedic element rather than a central storyline.

Religious themes1/5
Why this rating?

Contains references to religious figures or themes strictly for satirical parody.

Romance2/5
Why this rating?

References to dating and sexualized romantic dynamics are present but treated as jokes.

Frightening scenes2/5
Why this rating?

Some tense moments and menacing villains are played strictly for satirical purposes.

Sexual content & nudity4/5
Why this rating?

Crude sexual humor is prominent, including a character flashing her breasts, a horny lion, and sexualized parody material.

Alcohol or drugs3/5
Why this rating?

Susan gets drunk at a party and vomits; this is played for gross-out comedy rather than presented as responsible behavior.

Violence4/5
Why this rating?

Frequent slapstick and fantasy violence includes battles, killings, crushing, imprisonment, and characters being accidentally or deliberately harmed.

What’s good in it?

Courage & resilience3/5
Why this rating?

The siblings confront danger, train, rescue one another, and fight tyranny. The film presents this bravery through exaggerated parody and some reckless comedy.

Creativity & curiosity2/5
Why this rating?

The film uses imaginative mashups of fantasy worlds, recognizable characters, parody settings, and inventive comic situations.

Diverse representation1/5
Why this rating?

Diverse cast present, but characters are largely reduced to stereotypes for comedy.

Kindness & empathy1/5
Why this rating?

Kindness is not a central theme and is often overshadowed by cynical humor.

Positive messages1/5
Why this rating?

The film lacks any serious moral or ethical message, focusing entirely on parody.

Good role models1/5
Why this rating?

Characters are generally flat caricatures; the film provides no positive role models.
