Rating: 2/10

People are seen casually drinking and smoking throughout the film.

A man is seen taking pills from a prescription pill bottle.

Rating: 3/10

Many of the violent scenes could be frightening/intense.

Note- Godfather Part II is more bloody and graphic than Godfather Part I

An idea of how accurate the TECE (below) is: 5-10 is a little-kid suitable, G-Rated type of film (i.e. Care Bears, Sleeping Beauty); 10-15 is going to be a little harsher, but not by much (i.e. The Incredibles); 15-20 could be pretty high up there (i.e. Indiana Jones), 20-25 is going to pretty darn adult (i.e. The Dark Knight); 25-30 is going to be a film most likely not suitable for anyone under 13(i.e. This); 30-40 is going to be an absolutely, positively adults-only film (i.e. Saving Private Ryan). 40 and up is pretty much high R / NC-17 (i.e. Pulp Fiction)

Overall Rating: 21/50. (Mostly because of violence. Should be okay for 13 and up.)
