Parental guidance suggested

US film rating

Attempted sexual assault, strong language including a racial slur, teen drinking and smoking, gunfire, and an awkward parent-child attraction subplot.

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