Heads up on strong violence. That is past what the PG on the box suggests. Beyond that, mild language and nothing scary.

Our estimate: fine from about 13, higher than the PG suggests, because of the violence.

Scare: Not scary
Jump scares: A couple; One or two sudden jolts.
Gore: No gore
Violence: Strong violence; Violence is frequent or intense.
Sex and nudity: None noted
Language: Mild; Mild words like damn, hell or crap.
