Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, that you instead use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

A woman walks out of a shower but nothing is shown. Otherwise none to speak of.

Violence & Gore

No blood or gore. A robot is shot in the head and falls in a dramatic fashion. It is implied that a robot's arm is forcibly removed. A woman is nearly eaten by an off-screen monster of considerably size. An inhabited planet is destroyed in a mere second.

Profanity

Nothing to vulgar mostly confined to D*mn and Ass if any. There is one use of 'oh bollocks'

One scene where two men drink fictional cocktails which are said to have the effect of "hitting your head with a gold brick wrapped in a lemon wedge". Two men go to a bar on Earth; one orders six pints of beer, and the other comments that it's a bit much for before lunchtime.

This is a pretty friendly movie. There is one scene with an alien that has thousands of tiny legs attached to a human top which could frighten kids. Also a scene where a man gets his second head cut off but it is played for laughs, and depicted in a silouette. Any other things would only be slightly frightening to a -5 yr. old kid and they would have to be very immature at that.
