Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this new feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes .

Sex & Nudity

almost constant heavy sexual jokes, dialogue, references and situations

several times the brothers are shown looking at porn-mags, but the nudity is barely visible

the brothers make a music video called "boats and hoes" which is all about what the title says.

The most graphic scene is when Brennan and Dale are fighting about Dale's drum set and Brennan runs upstairs and pulls his testicles out and rubs them on one of the drums, its very fake, but very graphic at the same time

a running joke is that there are two sexual scenes involving Alice and Dale. Alice is Derkes wife, and after Dale hits him in the face, she falls in love with him, and has sex with him twice, but it is obvious Dale doesnt want this to happen. At the end, he tricks Alice into looking the other direction and he runs away from her, thus hes trying to end the bad relationship In one of the scenes they have sex in the bathroom.Which is disturbing for some children.

Violence & Gore

Dale clocks Derek directly in the face, he is then shown with a bloody nose (hes ok)

after Brennan gets crushed by the bed, he screams out in pain, but its a little scrape on his arm. (some blood, but not graphic at all)

Brennan nails Dale with a shovel and then proceeds to bury him alive (hes serious, but its meant to be funny)

small school children harass, then beat up Dale and Brennan and make them lick dog poop

later in the after credits of the movie the brothers beat up the school kids

Profanity

Over 60 f-bombs and 30 s-words top the list, and don't forget a dozen uses of slang for male and female genitalia. Definitely not for sensitive ears.

Brennan and Dale are shown drinking wine at a party

Dale makes a gross joke at the dinner table, and Brennan points at Dales drink and jokingly says "I remember when I had my first beer",

Robert gets mad at the brothers, then goes to a bar to get drunk. He later comes home and his wife says that he reeks of Scotch. (he is stumbling around a bit also)

At one point Brennan says that he smoked pot with Johnny Hopkins. (we never see this, we only hear it)

Derek tells Brennan and Dale that he smoked a joint in his car (again we only hear it)

Brennan gets crushed under a make-shift bunk bed (hes ok)

Brennan and Dale sleepwalk at night which may upset some people who sleepwalk, or live with someone who does this.

Derek is an absolute jerk to his wife, mother and family throughout the movie, but at the end he ends up being nice.
