Sex & Nudity

  • Rafe and Leo make a reference to "expertly drawn boobs" in Rafe's sketchbook, then wonder how realistic the boobs were. Nothing explicit.
  • Principal Dwight says that some of the tests have the question: "true or false: Principal Dwight has three nipples." He denies it, saying he was born without nipples and it looks amazing, but nothing is shown.
  • Principal Dwight is covered in manure in one scene.
  • A boy says his stepmom is really hot and Principal Dwight adds "I've seen his stepmom. He's not kidding."
  • As Rafe tampers with the school's sprinkler system, Leo says "if you fall, I am not giving you mouth-to-mouth."

Violence & Gore

  • A two-headed alien accidentally shoots its heads off, but they quickly regenerate. No blood.
  • Colored spheres fall out of a closet and pin Vice Principal Stricker to the floor, and Principal Dwight remarks "Oh my God. That could have been me." In later scenes she is fine.

Profanity

  • "Oh, shit" was almost said, but was cut off.
  • A kid says to Rafe "welcome to hell".
  • One use of 'pissed off' by one of the middle school kids
  • During a speech to Rafe, Leo asks what rhymes with "suck", and Rafe states "Nothing good" referring to the F- Word
  • A few uses of the word "crap"
  • 5 uses of "crap," 1 use of hell, 1 incomplete use of "shit," ("Sh" can be heard, but the rest was cut off", 1 use of pissed, 3 uses of sucks, 2 uses of screwed, 1 use of "freaking", 6 uses of "god" in vain. A couple slang terms were also said: Boobs, balls.
  • A man says "What the f-- fish"! , implying that he was going to say the f word.
  • Leo says that he learned how to curse in 13 languages from Call of Duty.
  • Lot of language for a PG movie
  • A few uses of damn, one used as goddamn, and one use of ass.
  • The film contains some mild coarse language such as the terms "kick your butt" and "screwed".

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • In one doodle animation sequence, Rafe is chased by scary zombies that move in formation and then a monstrous school building that inhales people while pulling itself forward with its teeth, the ground in front of which is a scantron. There is some comic relief as a locker is at maximum nerd capacity and the zombies imitate a zoetrope, but still this may be intense for younger viewers
