Streaming on Paramount+ and Kanopy (free).
The thing to know: moderate sex and nudity, more than a PG-13 usually carries. Beyond that, mild language and no real violence.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the PG-13 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.
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.
