There's a scene where junior projects his babysitter having sex in a bed, and shows it to the whole neighborhood.

Violence & Gore

mild

Junior and Trixie are very devious and threaten each other throughout the movie. Someone throws a satellite dish over a school rooftop and knocks a man unconscious. A jealous ex-husband enters a restaurant and knocks a man out with a pipe. He then gets into a fight with another man and is hit in the stomach. A woman then punches the other man in the face. A boy rigs a doorbell; later in the film, a woman rings the doorbell and she is electrified. It leaves her clothes tattered and her hair in a "Bride of Frankenstein" look. She then collapses. Two kids throw a lit M80 into a toilet, then flush it. A teacher comes running down the hallway, having to go to the bathroom badly, and he sits on that toilet, only to have it explode on him. In a later scene, the teacher is literally wearing some kind of diaper and no pants, obviously as a result of this. There is projective vomit on a carnival ride when Junior purposely makes it go too fast. Vomit is literally spewing out of all everyone's mouths, and some of them are drenched in it from head to toe. The ride operator throws up too, and the vomit sprays all over the people watching. Some of them even slip and fall in it. This scene lasts for about 2 and a half minutes and is very explicit--nothing is held back, and it's very long and dragged out. Be forewarned! The scene will disgust most people. People throw food in a restaurant. People are humiliated, but not harmed.

Though the whole movie is meant to be for laughs, the "Crazy Dance" scene may not sit well with all viewers due to the excessive vomiting.
