Oddly enough, I was actually glad that someone was bold enough to put 
something like that into a "kids" film.  My daughter (11 yrs) got quite 
embarrassed, which was probably worth the price of admission for me. 
Perhaps I'm a little sadistic.

I say "kids" (in quotes), because I don't think it's for everyone.  I 
imagine that some parents were probably shocked and generally pissed-off 
after taking their kids to see that movie.  I tend to be quite liberal in 
that regard, so for me it was a breath of fresh air.  Having taken my 
daughter to a lot of kids/family films over the years, this was the first 
one that really inspired me.  I would agree that it's perhaps the equivalent 
of "Children's Horror", if there is such a genre.
