# Sherlock Holmes (PG-13) This adventure mystery features strong action violence including gunfights and intense fight scenes, making it better suited for older children rather than younger ones. While language and sexual content are mild, the overall verdict suggests it's not recommended for children—consider your child's tolerance for action-heavy films before viewing.
