Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this cinematic interpretation of Oscar Wilde's delightful period novel is enjoyable, indeed, and contains little content of concern. There's plenty of deception and lying, all played for laughs, and some social drinking and smoking, but for the most part the film is fine for young teens and up.

Courtship and flirting. Some tender kissing.

Violence
