Ages 10+Source checked

Why this age? PG-rated slapstick includes explosions, falls, pursuit, criminal threats, an airplane disappearance, and brief references to assassination, Nazis, and possible suicide; the tone is comic rather than graphic. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
