Ghost parents guide

Moderate sex and nudity, which is more than most PG-13 titles carry. Beyond that, mild language and some violence.

Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the PG-13 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.

Scare: Mildly scary; A few tense or eerie moments.
Jump scares: A couple; One or two sudden jolts.
Gore: No gore
Violence: Some violence; Some fighting or peril.
Sex and nudity: Moderate; Moderate means a sex scene or nudity on screen, even brief, or sexual violence that is described or implied but never shown.
Language: Mild; Mild words like damn, hell or crap.
