Sex & Nudity

None
10 of 19 found this to have none
A song playing in Ricky's car has lyrics about being the "love doctor" and "let me make you feel better."
A photo of a teenage girl's boyfriend shirtless on her mobile device.
Ricky playfully tells Bethany to "give poppa some sugar" (kiss him).
Ricky purposefully disables his car so that Bethany's dad will invite him to stay at the vacation house overnight (albeit in the den, and Stuart tells his daughter, "No fooling around").
Ricky removes his shirt outside, leaving Bethany breathless with anticipation, and he gets her to put suntan lotion on his bare back. From a distance, Jake encourages Tom to shoot Ricky with a paint gun. But as they see the couple about to kiss and Jake comments on them getting to second base (which doesn't occur),
Ricky makes disparaging remarks about Tom and his relatives, and then tells Bethany that he should have stayed home and "hooked up" with another girl who's "smoking hot."
2 aliens flirt.
The aliens briefly watching footage from "The Mask of Zorro" and see the characters played by Catherine Zeta-Jones and Antonio Banderas spar with swords before suddenly passionately kissing.
A girl is shown in a bikini in 3 scenes.

Violence & Gore

Mild
7 of 11 found this mild
An alien fires an electronic, mind control dart into the back of Ricky's neck, turning him into a remote-controlled zombie robot. Controlled by the aliens, he then comes after Tom and Jake and grabs them. They then elbow him and flee as the alien fires at them. Ricky then comes crashing through some lattice at them but ends up flipping over a railing and off the roof (he's later seen hanging upside down alongside the house, unhurt).
Tom throws some roof furniture that hits three aliens and he and Jake beg the younger kids to let them back into the attic. They do and then all scramble back down the attic access stairs, with darts hitting both older boys, but that has no effect on them. They all then struggle to push that access closed and back into the ceiling, with some of Razor's nails being clipped off in the process.
The aliens briefly watching footage from "The Mask of Zorro" and see the characters played by Catherine Zeta-Jones and Antonio Banderas spar with swords before suddenly passionately kissing.
The twins use the mind control remote to move Ricky about, including having him hit a swing hard and then flip to the ground, slam into his own car hard enough to dent the door, and then repeatedly slap himself in the face (played for laughs).
Jake throws fireworks into the house's vent shafts to drive the aliens away, and the latter flee from the various small explosions.
An alien nearly shoots Sheriff Armstrong with a mind control dart, but Jake throws a rake that distracts the alien, causing his shot to miss the mark and bounce off the sheriff's badge instead.
Aliens shoot Jake with a potato gun and we next see them dragging and somewhat bouncing him down some steps while bound and gagged.
Controlled by the remote control device, Ricky shoves Tom back, tries to hit the twins with something, and then battles Nana who's also remote controlled. She blocks his punches and kicks with her cane, followed by flipping him with that, etc. The battle then continues, with all sorts of "floating" martial arts moves that cause property damage (fists through walls, smashed furniture, etc.) until Nana kicks and hits Ricky quite hard, followed by kicking him down a long hallway and through a door.
The kids mix Mentos with Coke in 2-liter bottles and throw those at the aliens, distracting them. Tom then shoots Skip back into a device, unaware that it will turn the latter into a towering version of him.
As Tom prepares to shoot Skip who's now enormous, Tazer goes through the same process and also ends up huge. Tom manages to shoot a mind control dart into Skip, resulting in him battling Tazer, including some punching, elbowing, kicking and a knee to Tazer's crotch.
