Don't see Wolf of Wall Street with parents, warns Twitter
Not a family-friendly choice, claim mortified kids.
Anyone planning a festive trip to the cinema with their nearest and dearest might take heed of advice emerging on Twitter.
In fact, Martin Scorsese's new film 'The Wolf of Wall Street' could go down in history as the least family-friendly film ever, if reports are to be believed.
Many movie-goers have taken to social media to detail their particular brand of embarrassment after seeing the film, which features graphic sex, some startlingly bad language and liberal drug use.
In fact, it's probably approaching meme status...
Also don't make the mistake of seeing The Wolf of Wall Street with your parents........ #BorderlinePorno #AwkoTaco

Even comedian Jack Whitehall chimed in:
Watching Wolf of Wall street not exactly a christmas movie. Just watched Leo Di Caprio do drugs out of a hookers bum sat next to my parents.

In the movie, Leonardo DiCaprio plays Jordan Belfort, the real-life Wall Street banker who was jailed for running a stock-trading 'boiler room'.
Quite why anyone might have considered it family-appropriate viewing considering Scorsese's previous work and its adult certificate is another question entirely.
