Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

Embarrassment, arguments, reckless driving and comic accidents. Some mild language, toilet humor and a suggestive misunderstanding about an adult entertainment service accompany the family chaos.

Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
