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.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

Phil learns that Byong Sun has two mothers (we see them, with one being portrayed as strong physically -- as in a stereotype), and is then flustered about what to say, first stating that they're better and then changing that to "different." No sexually related lesbian behavior is seen.

Violence & Gore

We see a college-aged Phil participating in the hammer throw in a track and field event, but he lets the ball fly and it crashes down onto a nearby table, breaking it. Later, he hurts his knee trying to cross a hurdle.

Profanity

At least 5 hells, 2 uses each of "God" and "My God" and 1 use each of "Oh God" and "Oh my God." A few references to "balls" in the testicular way. A lot of getting hit with a soccer ball to the "balls" too. There is a lot of name-calling throughout the movie, particularly adults to kids: "loser", "fart face kid", "break their clavicles", "stupid", and more.

A woman, mocking Phil's economy car, says something like "Enjoy the hemp" to him (possibly a drug reference). Phil, after never having had coffee, becomes an over-the-top coffee/caffeine addict. Mike Ditka is shown smoking a cigar often.

Phil gets his young players to join him in baying at the moon at night. A bunch of neighborhood dogs then storm their impromptu campground, causing comedic chaos (but younger kids scared of dogs might be scared by their sudden arrival). There is one scene where Phil is shown at a butcher shop "helping" to make sausage along with the boys and a large, skinned and partially butchered animal carcass is shown. Afterwards the boys are shown wearing aprons with lots of blood all over. Phil has blood all over his face.
