Sex & Nudity

There is a scene where, after she takes a shower, Margaret (Sandra Bullock) cannot find a towel, so she goes out, using a small hand towel to cover he vagina and her arms to cover her breasts (she is completely naked, of course). She the bumps into a completely nude Andrew (Ryan Reynolds) and the they fall over, she landing on top of him. All you see is the sides of both of their butts. You also see some of Margaret's breasts in a couple of different shots.

Margaret gets taken to a bar. A man there takes her up on stage and does a striptease dance for her in very small, skin tight underwear. It lasts for about a 2 or 3 minutes. There is some kissing.

Margaret says "What is that?" and Andrew says, "It's morning." In context, this is clearly a sexual reference related to male sexual parts.

Betty White's character is very crude and makes several sexual comments, including one about a blanket she calls "The Baby Maker". She also likens Sandra Bullock's breasts to "an Easter egg hunt". .

Violence & Gore

An eagle swoops down from a tree, grabs a small dog, and starts to fly off with it. A woman saves it by throwing rocks and her cell phone at the bird (the dog is fine, mostly a comedic scene).





Profanity

Terms referring to breasts are used multiple times.

A woman sings a suggestive song that includes the words "balls" and "bitches".

The word "jackass" is used.

A man refers to a rude woman as "Ahab", which may be considered offensive to some.

Several people are shown drinking during a bar scene.

A small dog is snatched by some sort of eagle that tries to carry it away, but the dog ends up being rescued.

Margaret's cruel behavior toward the people at work may be frightening to young children who might be watching.

Margaret falls out of a boat at one point and nearly drowns.
