Sex & Nudity

  • Some sensual dancing and minor kissing throughout.
  • A teenaged girl auditions a bunch of guys for a dance routine in a midriff-baring top and very short shorts. Part of the routine entails her partner catching and lifting her, meaning he would touch her exposed skin, which some may find questionable.
  • A teenaged guy puts his foot in his mouth when describing how he enjoys playing music, saying "I like to play, alright? I just prefer to play with myself." His friend reacts, "Whoa, what?"
  • A young boy remarks about a guy's muscles looking nice. His brother reacts negatively and says that they need to get him a girl fast. Another guy tells the boy, "Don't touch me!"
  • In the opening scene, ballet dancers are dancing while music is playing with the lyrics, "Show off that body you got."

Violence & Gore

  • A man shoves a young man, they fight with punches and shoving, one of them pulls a gun and the other runs away.
  • A security guard grabs a young man and pins him to the floor.
  • A young man breaks the window of a building, and with two others he climbs into the building and breaks up a decorated stage.
  • A young man tries to pick a fight with another young man.
  • A young man sprains his ankle during dance practice and we see him bandaged and on crutches.
  • A young woman auditions young men for a dance partner position, she attempts to jump for them to catch her and they move out of the way or drop her repeatedly (no one is injured).

Profanity

  • At a concert, a singer is heard describing a girl as "hotter than sh..." without finishing the swear word.
