Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this father-daughter comedy would be quite inoffensive were it not for the fact that it's mind-numbingly boring. It makes little sense, plot-wise, and though the heroine is a plucky 12-year-old who may appeal to tween viewers, it's really jumbled. There's some minor swearing, but not much.

Sexual Content

Nothing racy; some mild flirting and scenes with bikini-clad women. The mermaid here is, like previous movie mermaids, naked from the waist up except for scales that cover her breasts.

Violence

Errant fireworks ignite a bride's dress; a chicken is bludgeoned (though we don't see anything except for a few flying feathers); a marble statue falls on a man. A man slaps his tween son.

Language

Not much swearing, except for the words "bitch" and "a-hole" (not "asshole").

Social Behavior

Love comes from unexpected sources and at unexpected times.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

A champagne bottled is popped at a wedding.
