MPAA Reason: Rated PG-13 for elements of violence and peril.

Sex & Nudity

none

it looks really good The guys pass by a downtown adult storefront that sports signs saying: "Girls Galore" and "Girls, Girls, Girls" (but we don't see anything more than the signs).

Violence & Gore

moderate

Blade and his gang surround Max and Kevin in a dark alley and carry sticks. As Blade gets out a heavy chain that he prepares to strike Kevin with, Max lifts up a heavy manhole cover and uses it as a shield against the stick attacks, and finally throws the cover at the gang as they run away. Max's dad chokes Loretta Lee almost to death. He also attempts to choke Max until Kevin comes in and stops him. Kevin gets in a car crash.

Profanity

At least one slang term for breasts (as in "It's as cold as a witch's t*t"), 6 damns, 3 hells, 3 craps, 1 ass (used with "hole"), 1 turd, and 2 uses of "Oh my God" and "Oh Lord" and 1 use each of "Jesus Christ" and "Oh God" as exclamations.
