not yetwith an adult, or to talk about afteralonethe sweet spot

Alone from 10; from 9, with an adult or by talking about it afterwards.

The sweet spot: around 10-13, when they love stories about cons and disguises and can tell the game apart from real life. Why a sweet spot?

In France, zinema would say 10.

What it's about

The Toussaint family are expert hustlers on the run who adopt the unassuming identities of the “Perfects” and settle in Scotland. As they juggle new jobs, nosy colleagues and a mysterious neighbor, their elaborate disguises, gadgets and insane schemes threaten to expose their double life.

Why 10

Our readingNot rated in the US. We say 10: A comedy about con artists with a lot of swearing, and early on a threatening creditor who breaks into the family's home at night. Ten on their own, nine with a parent.
reading
Lots of swearingThere's a lot of swearing, especially when things go wrong: French words for "shit," "fuck," and "shut up" come up about twenty times.
shown
A scary visit at nightEarly on, a man the family owes money to breaks into their home at night with his crew, grabs the screaming kids, and threatens everyone. It stays comic and no one gets hit, but younger kids may find it startling.
shown
Drinking, smoking, a gagThe adults drink wine and smoke. At a party, a man in a kilt falls flat on his back and his bare backside shows for a second.
