Wondering if The Man From Toronto is ok for kids? This action/comedy on Netflix stars Kevin Hart and Woody Harrelson. Not exactly kid-friendly The Man from Toronto does have some laughs, but overall, it’s not really worth the time. Here’s what parents need to know in this The Man from Toronto Parents Guide.
The Man From Toronto Parents Guide
A case of mistaken identity forces a bumbling entrepreneur, Teddy (Kevin Hart) to team up with a notorious assassin, The Man from Toronto (Woody Harrelson) in hopes of staying alive.
Why is The Man From Toronto Rated PG-13?
The Man From Toronto is rated PG-13 for language, violence, and suggestive material which means some content may not be suitable for kids under 13.
Parents need to know that there’s quite a bit of language, some crass jokes, and an assassin who feels no remorse killing people.
Language
There are many uses of profanity throughout the movie like uses of sh*t, a**, damn, and g-ddamn. There’s also one use of pigfu*k.
Mature Content
A lot of men are after The Man from Toronto, so there’s a lot of fighting and a lot of kills. There is hand-to-hand combat, violence involving weapons such as knives and guns, a character chops off another’s thumb. Some scenes are quite violent, but not too bloody. A character’s head is cut off by a chainsaw, and you can hear the screams.
Some suggestive material includes crude jokes and potty humor. A character narrates his urination in the bathroom. A man vomits all over other characters. Some violence is used for humor.
Is The Man From Toronto Appropriate for Kids Under 13?
I wouldn’t recommend The Man from Toronto for kids. There’s nothing really to hold their interest. The jokes are more adult, the action is adult, and so is the whole plot. Frankly, it’s a boring movie that doesn’t make much sense. Hart and Harrelson are much too talented for this good guy/bad guy buddy comedy nonsense.
Hart plays the nice guy, bumbling idiot trying to reform the hired assassin who suddenly gains a conscience. He’s just misunderstood, right? The jokes just don’t land, and the whole film tries to do too much. Sometimes simplicity is best.
