Sex & Nudity

  • There is no male nudity.
  • Lots of women in bikinis.
  • In one scene, two girls kiss in a hot tub. There is an unrated version of this film that shows them topless.

Violence & Gore

  • At the beginning we see a man beating up an 2 or 3 football players during a game because one of them made fun of his dead dad.
  • When Jake goes to the new school, Jake sees a teen beating up another teen while people are recording, he immediately goes in to stop them, but he realizes that its street wrestling and that it wasn't bullying.
  • When a man goes into a party he wrestles. You see him getting punched in the face 3 times and then he keeps getting up, no matter how badly he's been hurt. Finally a man punches him so hard that blood flies out of his mouth, and that he falls to the ground bleeding (UNRATED VERSION).
  • Basically a whole part of the movie is Jake training to get better to beat up the man who beat him up at the party, some action between two people at the gym as practice. Its all played for practice. A man gets choked with another mans legs as a wrestling movie, and doesn't want to tap out, so he ends up going unconscious.
  • Talk about a mans brother getting shot in the head.
  • A man gets VERY angry and gets into a pointless fight. He knocks out 3 men and one of them was hit on the head with a piece of a hummer that breaks. Its later announced that he almost died.

Profanity

  • Contains some mild coarse language ("shit", "bitch" etc). There is one Fuck word yelled in one of the special features-deleted scenes.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A characters father dies drunk driving.
  • At a party, teens are shown holding red plastic cups, implying that they're drinking beer. In another scene, an adult offers teenagers a drink.

Frightening & Intense Scenes
