Sex & Nudity

4/10

There is one scene where Mr. Gru is demonstrating the moon heist and when he flips through the demonstration, we see a drawing of him on the toilet.

There is a scene where the minions are photo copying their behinds.

When Mr. Gru reached the moon, two minions mouth kiss briefly (Hardly Noticed)

When the moon disappears, a werewolf becomes a human, he is naked, you see everything except his penis and but, when he becomes naked he looks at his penis, hides it and runs away.

Violence & Gore

4/10

It appears a child has been punctured when red fluid oozes out of a nail-embedded box she is caught in. Characters are shot, burned, hit by cars, electrocuted, cut off in traffic.

A man's head is frozen as his neck snaps off-screen.

Profanity

None.

1/10

A giant can of beer is shown in one scene.

5/10

Edith wanders into an Iron Maiden trap, which slams closed with her in it. The others seem panicked, and we see what appears to be blood pouring out of the bottom of the iron maiden. It is revealed that Edith is fine and the 'blood' was fruit juice.

Gru and the girls ride on a rollercoaster. It may be frightening to some in the 3D version.

There is a chase scene near the end of the film. Which involves Gru chasing Vector for kidnapping the girls. This may be intense because the girls lives are endangered.

At one point Gru is attempting to rescue the girls from the exterior of an aircraft, requiring them to jump to another. This scene may be intense for people with a fear of heights.

Adoption is portrayed in a very negative light and this may be traumatic for adopted children. The adopted children were put in a "box of shame" at their orphanage......at their adoptive home at first, they're served out of dog bowls on the floor and have newspaper on the floor to eliminate.

14/50
