Nothing past what a PG-13 promises: some innuendo or implied sex and mild language.
Rated PG-13, but by what is on screen our estimate is fine from about 10.
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.
