# The Big Lebowski - Parental Guide
This R-rated crime comedy contains strong language throughout, frequent violence including gunfire and threats, and moderate sexual content. The plot involves criminal schemes and drug use. It's best suited for mature teenagers and adults who can handle crude humor and adult themes—not appropriate for younger children.
