Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this R-rated sports comedy includes a great deal of foul language. In some scenes nearly every other word is an obscenity. The rest of the movie is pretty tame, however. You'll find some drinking and cigar-smoking, plus there are a couple of discreet love scenes and some glimpses of players' backsides in the locker room.

Sexual Content

There's asexual partial nudity in the team locker room (bare butts are visible). The female team owner slaps a couple of players' butts. Two sets of characters have off-screen sex (the viewer sees just foreplay and afterglow). A player is caught cheating on his wife in a televised news segment.

Violence

Dorn and Vaughn push and shove each other, and in another scene Dorn punches Vaughn in the face. A couple of players give each other menacing looks.

Language

This is major-league cursing: More than two dozen "F"-words and "s--t," along with "ass," "Goddamn," "dick," and one "motherf--ker." There's even cursing in Spanish, courtesy of Cerrano.

Social Behavior

Even when faced with nearly impossible odds and no confidence from their owner, the ragtag team pulls together to give the season their best shot.

Consumerism

Major League Baseball: Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

The guys drink cocktails and beer. Cerrano (and Jobu) smokes cigars and drinks rum.
