violence
A character punches a man's face during a scene of comic mild violence.
threat and horror
Characters rush towards a hotel room where they suspect a stranger has lured their young son to. However, it quickly emerges that the child is in the care of his older brother. A teenager pretends he has been kidnapped, causing his parents to panic, however, this is brief.
language
There is use of very mild bad language ('God', 'screwed up').
sex
Infrequent mild sex references and innuendo occur, including a character suggestively telling his wife they ought to give their son a sibling.
discrimination
There is isolated use of the ableist term ('cripple'). However, discrimination is clearly not condoned by the work as a whole.
injury detail
A man is shown with a bloody nostril in the aftermath of violence. A woman appears to cough up blood, however, it is quickly established to be tomato juice.
theme
A character becomes visibly upset upon discovering that his trusted family and friends have deceived him throughout his childhood. A group of schoolchildren taunt and jeer at their classmate over his perceived lack of wealth. However, this scene is accompanied by positive messages around developing resilience. A teenager grieves the death of his grandmother at her fake funeral, without realising that she is actually still alive.
