What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

Features common household brands in the background of typical family life, but no aggressive product placement.

Strong language1/5
Why this rating?

Mild expletives, insults, and occasional name-calling may occur, but strong or frequent profanity is not indicated for this PG family comedy.

LGBTQIA characters1/5
Why this rating?

Franck is a recurring, flamboyant wedding planner who may read as gay-coded, but the supplied material does not establish an explicit LGBTQIA identity or relationship.

Romance2/5
Why this rating?

Married couples navigate pregnancy, disagreements, reconciliation, and family commitment; romance is present but secondary to comedy.

Frightening scenes2/5
Why this rating?

Some mild tension involving a house being demolished and brief scenes of physical intimidation by dogs, played for comedy.

Sexual content & nudity2/5
Why this rating?

Involves adult discussions of pregnancy, menopause, and a comedic scene involving a potential prostate exam at a hospital.

Alcohol or drugs2/5

Diverse representation1/5
Why this rating?

Educational value1/5
Why this rating?

Pregnancy, labor, parenting, and aging appear as story subjects, but teaching real-world knowledge is not the film's main purpose.
