Charlie's Angels age rating: How old do you have to be to see Charlie’s Angels?

Charlie’s Angels has been rebooted with actress Elizabeth Banks in the director’s seat. Her angels are Kristen Stewart, Naomi Scott and Ella Balinska, with the latter two hailing from the UK. But how old do you have to be to see Charlie’s Angels, and is it suitable for teenagers?

As is often the case with movies, parents should always practise caution and make sure to be aware of what is in a film before letting their children see it,

This particular movie has, like all others screened in the UK, been rated by the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) and parents can, therefore, work out what to expect from the film.

In the case of this film, it has been rated 12A, meaning it is generally not suitable for children under the age of 12.

The BBFC guidelines state: “Films classified 12A and video works classified 12 contain material that is not generally suitable for children aged under 12.

“No one younger than 12 may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult.

“Adults planning to take a child under 12 to view a 12A film should consider whether the film is suitable for that child.”

One way to work out if a film is suitable for a particular child is to read the ratings information for the movie, which can be seen on the BBFC’s website.

According to the BBFC website, Charlie’s Angels contains: “Moderate violence includes fistfights with kicks and blows.

“There is a scene in which a man is kicked through a window and impaled on an ice sculpture below.

“There are shooting with occasional bloody detail and a scene in which a man’s leg is crushed in a machine.

“There is infrequent use of strong language (‘f**k’) as well as milder bad language (including ‘b***h’) and mild innuendo.

“This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.”

This information is designed to help families work out if their under-12s should attend the screening, so those who find violence particularly difficult to see may find it better to be taken to a different movie this weekend.

What is Charlie’s Angels about?

The official synopsis from Sony Pictures reads: “Charlie’s Angels have always provided security and investigative skills to private clients, and now the Townsend Agency has expanded internationally, with the smartest, most fearless, most highly trained women all over the globe – multiple teams of Angels guided by multiple Bosleys taking on the toughest jobs across the world.

“When a young systems engineer blows the whistle on a dangerous technology, these Angels are called into action, putting their lives on the line to protect us all.”

Charlie’s Angels is in cinemas from November 29
