language
There is bleeped use of strong language ('f**k'), accompanied by other milder terms ('shit', 'son of a bitch', 'crap', 'bastard', 'ass', 'arse', 'screw', 'friggin', 'Jesus', 'Christ', 'hell', 'God', 'damn', 'jerk' and 'moron').
discrimination
There is use of racial language as a Black man refers to himself using the n-word ('n****r'). A white man adopts a Black teenage boy so that his basketball team may become successful, and to appease his wife's pleas for a child. However, racist stereotypes are employed for the purpose of satire. Other discriminatory terms include 'fag' and 'Kraut'.
additional issues
There are scenes containing mild comic violence. A woman threatens to take her own life if her husband does not agree to have a child with her. There are also references to mental health, including an ex-veteran who is under the illusion that he is still fighting against the Nazi regime.
