Parents Guide for
The Graduate (1967)

The theme of the movie is an older, married woman seducing a 21-year-old man who eventually start having sex in a hotel room

Near the end of the movie, when Benjamin crashes Elaine's wedding, he knocks over her father trying to get to her. He also tries to hit some people with a cross. Mrs. Robinson slaps her daughter repeatedly across the face when she decides to run out of her own wedding.

Very Mild for an older PG. 1 usage of the a-word, 1 g-damn, and a couple hells.

Mrs. Robinson uses alcohol to try to seduce Benjamin. They drink repeatedly throughout the movie. Many characters smoke.

The scene where Mrs. Robinson threatens to tell Elaine that she and Ben had previously had an affair is quite intense. Elaine screams and hits Ben. The final scene where the mob inside the church tries to catch Elaine and Ben is intense, as well.
