Who Gets the Dog?

Two men fight with pushing and wrestling on the ground, and one punch not clearly seen. No one's hurt. A kid tackles a grownup and knocks him to the ground. Clay and Koji vent their anger by throwing things around a locker room and punching a garbage can, then agree to clean up the mess. Mild scariness from a mean-looking dog with a metal muzzle, and from a pet in peril after it runs away. A scary man threatens with a crowbar, but the conflict is resolved without violence. Reference to living in a serial-killer shack.

A few brief kisses and flirting. Some sexual innuendo about getting handcuffs, and remembering the past when "I couldn't wait to get you in the bedroom." Olive takes off her shirt and is briefly seen from behind in a bra from the waist up.

"Ass," "poo," "peeing," "dropping a dump," "rectum," a man calls himself "butthead," and "Chopper, sic balls." Fictional social media for dogs has the hash tag "#chasingbitches."

Clay drinks beer several times, including pouring many cans into a blender pitcher when he's upset. Adults drink wine once. Brief reference to crack.

Parents need to know that Who Gets the Dog? is a romantic comedy about a couple going through divorce. They each want custody of their dog and end up going to court because they can't compromise. Strong language is rare and mostly about bodily functions, but there is one "ass." Sexy stuff is also mild, with a few kisses, some flirting, and some innuendo about getting into the bedroom. One character drinks beer several times, including once when he's upset, but he pulls himself out of it. There's a brief mention of crack (cocaine). Mild violence and scariness include a fight that's mostly wrestling on the ground, and mild peril when a pet runs away. Positive messages reinforce trying again when things don't turn out the way you wanted, and emphasize that pets shouldn't be treated like property.
