| nudity | Rated PG-13- Some Strong Language including Sexual References, and Some Violence/Peril. Frequent references to, and glimpses of, a Playboy magazine throughout the movie, but the pictures shown are fairly tame-only outlines of a woman's hips and rear end are shown. A man giving the kids a ride gets a phone call that his wife is cheating on him again, and when he gets home, we see the other man crash through a window with his pants undone and the wife wearing a black slip. Some discussion of sex. Chris's boyfriend Mike comments that her legs are joined at the knees. A boy is called a penis by some raucous guys at a bar. A boy demonstrates with his hands that a woman has a humongous chest. A boy is seen talking to a girl who appears to be a prostitute and reveals she's 17 and ran away from home. A girl threatens two boys to give her no grief or they'll be "dead, murdered, stabbed." One of the boys asks, "Raped?" with a jokingly hopeful look on his face. Chris finds that her boyfriend is seeing another girl, who's called a "sleaze" and an "easy chick" and wearing a very low cut dress. |
| violence | A man is punched in the face quite hard and is knocked out. One man punches another and the second wipes blood from his lip. A man chases another man with a gun (shots are fired) and in later scenes, punches him. On a subway, two rival gangs suddenly appear and threaten each other, showing knives and rushing at each other, but are stopped by Chris, the babysitter. When one tells her aggressively to sit down, one of the kids she's with gets in his face. The gang member throws a knife into the boy's shoe, cutting his toe (not graphic). We see that the boy got stitches but nothing is visible. A janitor gets punched in the face. A man continues to say that he'll "take care" of the kids. A kid hits a kid in the shoulder many times, but is used as a "knock it off" method. A babysitter tells a pretty graphic horror story, a "babysitter alone with the kids" tale, that includes a man with a hook killing everyone by attacking their faces. A man is seen with a gun in his care, which he uses to shoot at the man who's with his wife. A highschool kid says he'd love to pound on a guy's face, but he doesn't. |
| profanity | About 10 total swear words (if I counted correctly), and most of them come in pairs: "Are you sh!tting me?" (twice), "Don't f*ck with ..." (twice), "b!tch" (two or three times), |
| alcohol | We see alcohol being drunk at a party. We see many people smoking on the street. |
| frightening | The children are in various levels of peril throughout their trip to the city; for example, their tow-truck driver fires a gun during a domestic dispute, they are chased by criminals, they find themselves in the middle of gang fight, and the young girl climbs out of the window in a tall building. A man trying to get her ends up stranded there. |
