Jumper parents guide

Heads up on moderate sex and nudity. That is past what the PG-13 on the box suggests. Beyond that, mild language and strong 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: Light gore; Some blood or injury, briefly.
Violence: Strong violence; Violence is frequent or intense.
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.
