Primates of the Seven Seas

The film contains sustained peril and cartoonish violence, in particular multiple scenes with guns, lasers, tazers, characters getting hit over the head or tossed around. There are a few sustained sequences of domino-effect slapstick violence. No injuries are explicit or involve bloodshed. A few monster characters are scary -- a giant sea slug, a giant robot monkey casino -- but are also portrayed with a deflating humor (sometimes literally).

Some characters wear bikinis and have breasts. In one scene, a male character looks a female character up and down to suggest he's checking her out. A few characters kiss briefly, and a major plot driver is the main character's affections for a girl he secretly loves. Two characters are portrayed as battling for her affections.

A line of glasses on a bar are shown being filled for everyone to drink. A character drinks a glass of green liquid, implied to be a cocktail, at a show. Much of the plot derives from the presence of a casino that serves alcohol.

Parents need to know that Primates of the Seven Seas is not suitable for very young kids as it uses a sustained peril and cartoonish violence throughout that involves firearms, lasers, cannonballs, and fighting (and is set in a casino). Though it does so with an often silly, offbeat approach that frequently renders that violence more absurd than menacing, it's a nuance likely lost on younger viewers. Plus, the film's main foe -- a giant robot -- is a little scary.
