Parents' Guide to The Soccer Football Movie

Parents need to know that The Soccer Football Movie is an animated family movie about an evil "doctor" ("Weird Al" Yankovic) who wants to steal the talent and skill of the world's best soccer players, the "All-Stars," namely, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Megan Rapinoe (real players). To do so, Yankovic invents a green goo that turns into monster slugs that "merge" with and take over the bodies of Ibrahimovic, Rapinoe, and later, Yankovic himself. They then turn into "mutant" very scary, huge, and green monster versions of themselves, with terrifying monster faces, teeth, and eyes. Monsters also often lunge toward the camera, growling and sneering. There are scary monster slugs, a monster ponytail, fight scenes with punching and kicking and throwing, chases, and moments of peril. A man attacks with a bone saw, people mutate and transform into monsters, and there's a terrifying final spider/scorpion mutant "boss" creature that has 2 rows of teeth in a huge gaping mouth, a suspended eyeball in the back of its throat, and a deadly stinger. A lot of the violence might be too scary for the movie's intended audience. The only bit of language is a single instance of "butt." There's a running joke about passing gas.
