Parents' Guide to Food Truck: Stolen Love ... and Moo Deng

Parents need to know that Food Truck: Stolen Love ... and Moo Deng is an indie comedy that follows an unlikely group of dads and kids who embark on a chaotic road trip after a young boy sneaks onto a food truck. Expect over-the-top slapstick violence that includes mild peril, implied animal cruelty with kicking and kidnapping of Moo Deng the hippo, multiple reckless car chase scenes (including children driving vehicles and kids not buckled in seatbelts), gunshots, children tied up with duct tape over their mouths (including a baby), people jailed, blackmail, threats, and mentions of child "serial kidnapping," "human trafficking," and implied death. Characters hug, hold hands, and flirt, with multiple references to strip club cards, a man's "wiener," a "gender fluid" reference, and sex-like noises. Characters drink beer, pass out, and discuss drinking. Children are drugged with chloroform in one scene. One man is hit with a tranquilizer dart. Infrequent language includes "s--t," "ass," "dammit," "damn," "hell," "jerk," "heck," and "oh my God," spoken in English and Thai. Expect potty humor that includes a man holding animal poop in his hand. While lightweight and somewhat raunchy, this comedy introduces deeper messages of family, friendship, love, compassion, hope, and redemption ... and also a CGI Moo Deng.
