The official US rating is R, and we never go below it. Alone from 17, and not before, even with an adult.

The sweet spot: around 17, when they love heist movies and families who bicker. Why a sweet spot?

Official US rating: R. In France, zinema would say 10.

What it's about

When a legendary thief sets his sights on the Mona Lisa, he recruits two young strangers to help him before revealing they are long-lost siblings… and oh yes, by the way, he is their father. Thrown into a chaotic reunion they never asked for, this new family must learn to work together, and try not to kill each other, if they want any chance at pulling off the heist of the century.

Why 17

The official rating, firstRated R in the US (restricted, under 17 requires an accompanying parent). zinema never goes below the country's rating: it explains it.
rule
A lot of swearingSwearing comes up often, including the f-word six times and “shit” five times. Insults stay mild (“idiots”).
shown
Guns, but no shots firedArmed guards watch over the targets and, at the end, police officers aim their guns during an arrest, but nobody shoots at anyone and nobody gets hurt. A controlled explosion is part of the heist.
shown
Stealing played as a gameThe heroes are thieves and the film makes them likable: the heist is an adventure, not a wrongdoing. The villain smokes a cigarette while on oxygen, for laughs.

What the movie brings

A family who barely knew each other learns to trust one another and work together. The film plays with Paris, the Louvre and the story of the Mona Lisa.
