Here's a brief summary of the content found in this PG-rated comedy. A few religious and various colorful phrases are uttered, while unintentional male full nudity is present several times but occurs just off camera (although others see it in one scene in public). A mother and daughter are seen in bikini tops (the teen is seen in a full bikini), while some teen fooling around is somewhat implied (behind a closed door).
Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, including the somewhat cartoonish villains who are doing genetic experiments on lab animals (resulting in various mutant creatures), kidnap a dog, and threaten that they're going to kill the main character and cut him open. Those scenes and a few other moments may be unsettling or suspenseful to very young viewers, but probably not to older ones who will likely see that the film isn't being realistic in such portrayals.
Some humans and a dog are zapped by electric cattle prods and a sickly older man is given something that makes him convulse, while some slapstick style material is present as are two brief dog bites. Due to a father being so busy at work (and later "absent" in the form of a dog), his wife and kids aren't happy and both worry that a divorce may be pending (the father works to rectify that). Various bits of behavior may be enticing for some kids to imitate (including all of the dog-related material), while some crude humor is present, as is some brief drinking (while a benign and joking drug reference is made).
If you're still concerned about the film and its appropriateness for yourself or anyone else in your home who may be interested in seeing it, we suggest that you take a closer look at our detailed listings for more specific information regarding the film's content.
For those concerned with bright flashes of light on the screen, there are some brief flashes of lightning at night.
For those prone to visually induced motion sickness, there is some bouncy camera movement representing Dave's (as the dog) point of view.
