For a TV-PG, this one goes further: some strong language and some innuendo or implied sex. Beyond that, nothing scary and no jump scares.
Our estimate: fine from about 13, higher than the TV-PG suggests, because of the language.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
Aspiring super-villain Dr. Horrible wants to join the Evil League of Evil and win the girl of his dreams, but his nemesis, Captain Hammer, stops him at every turn.
