Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

moderate

Jay and Silent Bob are drug dealers, but drug use is only shown once. Jay and Silent Bob gives the backstage guards pot, so the partner's in crime can destroy the stage for a gameshow. There is also talk about getting high, and some tobacco smoking.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

none

None. This is a comedy. All of the violence in the film is slapstick and comedic. The concept regarding the fifteen year old girl may be emotional for some but the movie is hilarious and does not dwell on anything disturbing. As the game show is about to begin, Brodie gives a bag of pretzels to Brandi's father which had been exposed to sweat from having his hand rest in his buttocks for a long period of time, causing Brandi's father to become ill and vomit violently into a bag for the remainder of the show.. No goo is seen, just the retching noises.
