Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this period biopic about England's beloved Queen Victoria isn't just the story of a legendary monarch -- it's also a love story about the loving, committed relationship between Victoria and her husband. But despite that -- and the movie's tame PG rating -- kids and tweens probably won't be drawn in by the characters' political machinations, particularly in the movie's first half. Families who do watch won't find too much content to object to -- there's one scene that involves shooting, as well as some flirting and kissing, but no nudity or strong language.

Sexual Content

Couples flirt and, later, when finally married, kiss.

Violence

A man shoots at the royal couple. Crowds protest. Politicians debate loudly.

Language

Nothing stronger than "damn."

Social Behavior

Victoria grapples with the responsibilities of the monarchy but rises to the occasion beautifully. Though she makes mistakes, she comes away from them wiser and better able to rule. The movie also makes it clear that power isn't all that matters -- love does, too.

Consumerism

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Some drinking and smoking in social situations.
