Review of Oliver!

Oliver! (1968)
6/10
Not for the whole family ! ( spoilers)
17 December 2011
Please whoever the idiot was that gave this movie a G rating.This is not a G movie. PG would be much more appropriate. It's a musical yes but a musical that shows or implies domestic violence, kidnapping, theft, child slavery, and murder. Some great songs, well cast , except for Audrey Hepburn Jr. as Oliver , but not a G movie. I tried to watch it with my six year old daughter she was very upset when Sykes hits Nancy and also the general mean spiritedness of the whole movie. I watched it with her based on the box's saying it was "grand entertainment the whole family will enjoy". Well not quite the whole family if you have young children under 8 (?) avoid watching this with them.
