What’s in it?

Products & advertising2/5
Why this rating?

Features some real-world products and tech brands in the context of the plot.

Death of a character4/5
Why this rating?

Several antagonists are killed, and the threat of death to the protagonists is a central plot driver.

Graphic injury2/5
Why this rating?

Some impacts and injuries are shown, including characters being impaled, but it avoids excessive graphic blood.

Likely occasional mild-to-moderate profanity typical of a PG-13 action comedy; the supplied passages do not document specific words or frequency.

Why this rating?

Dan and Jessica’s marriage and romantic dinner are part of the story; Nina’s teenage relationship and breakup also feature.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

The family is repeatedly pursued, attacked, held hostage, and placed in life-threatening situations, but the action-comedy tone reduces sustained horror or dread.

Sexual content & nudity1/5
Why this rating?

Minor references and innuendo; no explicit sexual content.

Alcohol or drugs1/5
Why this rating?

Any substance use appears brief and incidental, such as social drinking, rather than a major theme or glamorized behavior.

Violence4/5

Frequent fights, shootouts, assassins, hostage situations, and multiple killings make violence a substantial feature, though it is presented as action-comedy rather than graphic brutality.
