Like A Boss age rating: How old do you have to be to watch it? Is it suitable for kids?

What certificate is Like A Boss?

The film has a certificate of 15, meaning, according to the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) no one younger than 15 may see the film in the cinema.

This means no one under 15, even if accompanied by a parent or guardian, is permitted to watch the film in the cinema.

For parents taking their teenagers to the movie, however, there is some guidance about what could cause them to be upset or concerned.

This information is provided by the BBFC for all movies, as well as warnings of specific moments which could cause problems.

The ratings information reads: “Like a Boss is a US comedy drama in which two friends sell a stake in their cosmetics company to an unscrupulous businesswoman.

“There is use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’), as well as other terms such as ‘pussy’ and ‘God’.

“There are references to oral sex, masturbation, sex toys and ‘getting d**k’.

“Adults smoke marijuana joints. There are undetailed references to ‘meth’.

“There are brief suicide references, such as a woman threatening to jump from a height.”

What do critics think of Like A Boss?

Sadly the movie has not performed particularly well with critics, gaining a 20 per cent rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

The Guardian’s Adrian Horton said: “Nothing in the script is remotely surprising or very funny, though nothing is horrendous, either.”

Meanwhile the Hollywood Reporter’s John DeFore said: “Quite funny for much of its running time, the film feels like it simply runs out of steam in its third act, settling for a lazy, pandering resolution and seeming happy to have made it to the 83-minute finish line.”
