Sex & Nudity

mild

Nudity: none Also the girl on the cover picture for this page does not appear in the movie A three way is mentioned but not performed as the 2 girls walk away disgustedly A fantasy girl writhes with a man's crotch as they drive for a split second, but nothing is actually shown and it's hard to catch A teen calls a sex phone line but the details are not graphic A girl promiscuously removes articles of clothing on stage but nothing goes past a one-piece underwear A teen couple twice enter a van, which then proceeds to rock back and forth, and sex is implied.


Violence & Gore

mild

Puppet creatures get shot and hurt in many ways some light punching a knife is shown, but not used. Nunchucks are used in an awkward fashion two characters practice fighting with rakes and other lawn tools, but no blood. a man is set on fire, but the fireproof suit is obviously shown A man is exploded by grenade, but only shown being thrown across the room. No guts or flying body parts. One man tosses grenades randomly Woman beats man with beer bottle, but obviously does not make contact with the actor, and more or less looks like she's fanning him with it. Quirky sound effects are used.


Profanity

mild

A few damns and hells are used.


Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

moderate

Some underage drinking Some regular age drinking Club that they enter is kinda smoky They dance to crappy 80s music and dance around awkwardly, followed by them crashing on the couch. The only explanation could be drugs of some sort


Frightening & Intense Scenes

none

Hobgoblins might scare young kids.
