Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.

Sex & Nudity

After realizing that Kate was checking him out from the back, Tom jokes that 12 kids later, he and Kate "still have the heat", and he does a goofy little dance. Kate goes "Whoo!" then turns and walks away, shaking her fully clothed bottom for him.

During the opening sequence, Kate goes through each of her twelve kids and how they were born. She says that she and her husband "got busy" at one point, when they had four kids in four years. They intended to be done after having nine kids, but Kate describes how they had "too many beers" one night and conceived their tenth child. Then her husband got a vasectomy, but they didn't realize that it took a while to become effectively, so they ended up getting pregnant with twin boys - their 11th and 12th children.

A child unloads the dishwasher and discovers her brother's athletic supporter for his private areas. It is very hot when she takes it out of the dishwasher, so she flings it across the room. It falls into a pot of boiling pasta sauce, to which the father responds, "Ugh, Pasta de la Crotch!"

Violence & Gore

A little girl is hit in the forehead with a dart by her younger brother, requiring a Band-Aid. There is a tiny bit of blood seen.

When a little boy sees blood, he vomits on the kitchen floor and runs out. Then another child comes into the kitchen, slips and falls on the vomit, and his hands and back are covered in it. Disgusted by this, he ends up puking, too. That is not actually seen, though. The only time we see the vomit is when the boy slips and falls on it.

The Baker kids run wild around the house, screaming and fighting often.

Profanity

At least 1 possible slang term for male genitals ("Jimmy"), at least 1 "damn", 5 uses of "Oh my God" and a bleeped out "G-damn" in the outtakes at the end.

At the beginning of the movie, Kate claims that "too many beers" prompted her and her husband to conceive their tenth child.

A neighborhood kid skates toward a banister and accidentally flips over it, and then grabs a hold of the chandelier in the two-story foyer. Tom tries to rescue him, but then ends up slipping and also holding onto the chandelier. After spinning around a bit, the boy jumps down and is caught, but the chandelier then pulls from the ceiling. Tom falls to the ground with it, causing a big crash. Everyone is fine, though, and it is intended to be slapstick comedy.

Mark, one of the Baker kids, is teased relentlessly by many of his siblings. They call him "Fed-Ex" because he is different from the rest of the kids and doesn't seem to fit in. His siblings steal all the good bedrooms when they move to a new home, forcing Mark to stay in the attic. He runs away at one point when the cruelty becomes too much (although everything turns out fine).

Tom and Kate have an argument near the end of the movie, and Kate tells him to sleep on the couch. Upset by this, one of the little girls asks Tom if he and Mommy are getting a divorce.
