Movie Parental Guide

nudity Boys are seen shirtless, and Kevin Zeger's bare back is seen as he quickly puts a shirt on.
violence Some bullying, rough talk
profanity Two uses of "what the hell...." A few uses of "butt" (like, "get your butt over here" kind of stuff)
alcohol None observed (perhaps?)
frightening Bullying and some rough handling of an animal. Supposedly no animal was hurt in filming, but filmed appearance of potential injury is strong. One scene of boy trying to "let go" of dog (set him free to keep him safe) is pretty emotionally intense and may raise questions from younger viewers. (my 5 year old talked about this for days after watching) Not intense, but worth noting for some viewers: The recently deceased father is a recurring theme in this movie, as it is the basis for the boys sadness and need for companionship.
