Sex & Nudity

  • A couple is clothed and kissing in bed, then the man moves on top of the woman and appears to be thrusting lightly. The scene ends not long after.
  • A woman asks a parent if they are concerned with having a "a young man, a black young man" at home with her teen daughter.
  • A woman slaps the football coach on his rear end.
  • Girls and cheerleaders wear revealing clothes. A man wears a shirt that reveals his chest in one scene.
  • A few mild sexual references.
  • Aside from a few kissing scenes, the sexual content is overall pretty mild.

Violence & Gore

  • The very beginning shows Joe Thiseman's horrific football accident which forced him out of retirement; no graphic footage is shown, but it has been said that he got a compound fracture from this.
  • Michael fights with his old friends by punching them and throwing them around. He tips sofas and chairs over and throws two of the thugs into a rail, which breaks.
  • A teen boy and a little boy get into a car accident. The little boy has some blood on him, and the teen's arm is bloody, but everything turns out okay afterwards.
  • Normal football violence, with tackling and pushing.

Profanity

  • "PO" (short for "pissed off") is used.
  • 5 uses of "ass" (towards men), 5 of "bitch" (4 from antagonists, 1 from protagonist), and 2 of "tits", "panties in a wad", the "N"-word (antagonist), and "son of a bitch". Also 4 instances of "hell", 3 of "damn", 2 of "God", and 1 of "crap", and 1 of "penis". 1 of "Sh*t"

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Michael talks about his mother doing drugs, but not letting him watch.
  • When Michael visits his old friends, there is drinking and references to drugs.
  • Michael's mother is said to be a drug addict, as there is a reference to a "crack pipe".

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Michael shows anger in one scene when he visits his old neighborhood friends. He gets into a fist fight with a guy who provokes him, and mothers are shown clutching their babies and crying. It is pretty unsettling.
  • There is a car crash involving a teen and a young boy, but they are not seriously injured, despite being somewhat bloodied.
  • The footage from Joe Thiseman's accident could be hard for some to watch, especially for those who somehow were able to see this event live.
