Just Getting Started

Gun violence, a kidnapping/hostage situation, explosions, and a snake are all part of an assassination attempt.

Duke is clearly juggling sexual/romantic relationships with three different women. One of them is waiting for him in his bed wearing lingerie (and later naked in the tub, although the bubbles cover everything but her shoulders and legs), while another is in his living room with her blouse unbuttoned to show her bra. Some kissing and innuendo, but no actual sex scenes.

Many uses of "s--t," "bulls--t," and "son of a bitch," plus one "f---ing."

Adult characters drink a lot, and often to excess. They also joke about their prescription drug regimens. A couple of them vape/smoke.

Parents need to know that Just Getting Started is a light action comedy starring an ensemble of actors over 60, including Academy Award winners Morgan Freeman and Tommy Lee Jones, as well as Rene Russo, Joe Pantoliano, and the late Glenne Headly. Considering that the plot centers around active (and sexually active) seniors, it's unlikely to appeal to teens, but families should note that these retirees aren't sweet little grandparents: They drink (as well as smoke/vape), gamble, and hook up -- a lot. (At the beginning of the movie, Freeman's character is clearly seeing three women at once, who wait for him in bed, the bath, etc.) They also swear (mostly "s--t," but there's also one F-bomb in the script). Expect some action violence, as there's a hit out against one character. There are explosions and a few scenes of gun violence, and one person is taken hostage. People shoot at one another, but there's only one serious injury.
