This movie does not yet have a MAAP rating, but we would rate it PG. Every adult should see this movie but especially teenagers and young adults. I encourage parents to view the movie trailer. Also, while I do not like to take away any surprises in the movie, concerned parents should look at the short descriptions of of some of the plot elements at the end of these paragraphs below.

This movie is playing exclusively in theaters in the format of a"private" showing. A "private" showing means that a person or group is bringing the movie to the theater (and not the theater or movie chain). One advantage of "private" showings is that there are no commercials (have you noticed that commercials now run for over 20 minutes!). And many of the movie commercials are disturbing to many people especially families with small children.

Some Plot Elements for of this movie for parents:
It contains no bad language.
The Bible Teacher challenges one of his students to a foot race. The student has to promise to read the bible verses assigned for a month if the teacher wins. But he loses. You will have to watch the movie to find out what the teacher has to do since he lost the race.
There is no violence in the movie except for the verbal bullying and teasing of one of the students who likes to read the Bible and who also stutters when under stress.
Eventually most of the students become committed to read the Bible assignments and their behavior begins to improve.
The Bible Teacher has the students visit a cemetery to emphasis the importance of their eternal future.
Two of the male students are shown cheating a store owner on a regular basis but one of them comes clean and tells the store owner of his cheating and pays back the money stolen.
It has no sexual displays except the Bible teacher is falsely accused by one of his disgruntled female students of sexual harassment. One of the highlights of the movie is that the students themselves prove that the accusations are false.
There is a death in the movie - the Bible teacher dies fairly young but one his most belligerent student has now himself become a Youth Pastor and does the eulogy.
Why was this movie called PLAY THE FLUTE
Note that the sub-title to the movie on the movie banners is: "In the world of indifference ... its time to Play the Flute." The bible says in Matthew 11:16-19 where Jesus is complaining that the people did not listen to John the Baptist just like older generations did not listen to the prophets of their day:
