Parents need to know
Families can talk about how it might feel to do over a part of your past. Kids, if you could redo any day of your life, which would it be, and what would you change about it? How have the lessons you've learned in your life changed how you look at past actions?
Message
Social Behavior:
Throughout much of the movie, the main character exhibits selfish, juvenile behavior that negatively affects everyone around him, including his young son. While it's obvious that he loves his kid, he rarely puts the boy's feelings above his own. However, through a lengthy process of trial and error, he realizes his flaws and figures out how to change his life for the better.
Consumerism:
One toy is obviously a spin-off of the Easy Bake Oven.
Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:
Adults drink wine with dinner, and one scene shows two characters drinking as they mull over past regrets. One character gives a bottle of alcohol to another, saying "liquor is quicker."
Violence
One scene shows a frustrated character starting a fist fight that becomes a full-fledged brawl, but no injuries ensue. In another, he takes his anger out on a robotic Santa that annoys him. There's lots of mild peril (slips, falls, some groin-related impact, and one scene that implies an explosion), but it's all played for humor, and lasting injuries are limited to casted limbs.
Sex
A few innuendoes (like a character falling on a toppled plastic snowman and quipping "call me later" as he gets up). One character frequently pinches another's bottom, and one brief kissing scene is replayed a few times.
Language
"Jackass" is used lots of times, and "damn" and "hell" are heard less frequently.
