The Content Guide
The specifics — spoilers included by nature — so you can judge for your own family.
Dominant Worldview and Other Worldview Content/Elements
Promotes a strong Romantic worldview where characters have no moral governing authority and tend to act in their own self-interest without concern for others, with a reference to same-sex marriage between two men, but there is a positive moral theme stressing honesty
Foul Language
Four obscenities (including two “s” words), one light profanity and several vulgarities or scatological euphemisms
Violence
Some slapstick comedy such as title character turns around and runs into waiters carrying a birthday cake and ice and drinks, some verbal references to serial killing, and a character is tied up in a car trunk
Sex
A shirtless man dances suggestively, a verbal reference to sending nude photos, a verbal reference to two men getting married
Nudity
Upper male nudity in beach and pool settings and when a shirtless man dances suggestively and multiple women in swimsuits display cleavage
Alcohol Use
The main character drinks heavily when stressed (this is portrayed comically), and characters drink socially in moderation as well
Smoking and/or Drug Use and Abuse
No smoking or drugs;
Miscellaneous Immorality
A man steals the title character’s plot idea for a reality TV program, woman’s self-centered boss ignores her and some dishonesty occurs, but it’s ultimately rebuked.
