HOW THE GRINGO STOLE CHRISTMAS is a US comedy in which a Mexican American father is dismayed when his daughter brings her white boyfriend home for Christmas.
language
There is infrequent use of strong language (‘chingada madre’, ‘pinche’), in addition to implied strong language (e.g. ‘what the fu–?’, ‘shut the fudge up’). Milder terms include ‘shit’, ‘pendejo’, ‘cabrón, ‘ass’, ‘crap’, ‘freaking’, ‘jerk’, ‘butt’, ‘damn’, ‘hell’ and ‘God’, as well as a joke about someone ‘risking his huevos’. There is also casual use of the discriminatory terms ‘mojalo’ and ‘wetback’ by a Mexican American character.
sex
A woman makes a rude joke about a ‘tamale hug’ meaning ‘a hug with meat in it’. There are also occasional mild comic sex references and innuendo.
additional issues
People joke about smoking Christmas trees to see ‘flying reindeer and dancing gingerbreads’. A Mexican American man responds negatively to the news that his daughter’s boyfriend is white, but his reaction is criticised by the rest of the family, and the film’s message emphasises the importance of not judging people by the colour of their skin.
