Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that Nature Calls may center on a scoutmaster and his troop, but it's in no way age appropriate for kids, tweens, or young teens. It starts off with a tender premise -- the adult son of a scout leader wants to follow in his elderly father's footsteps -- but quickly veers into over-the-top territory. There's barely a scene of dialogue without a "f--k" and/or other strong language, there are lots of crude and scatological jokes, and the boys even spot a mysterious naked woman on a motorcycle in the woods. There's also a lot of comedic violence that culminates in a man being blown up and killed in the outdoors.
- Sexual Content
- A mysterious naked woman rides a motorcycle through the woods; a few references to sex and women's bodies.
- Violence
- Lots of slapstick and comedic violence, but the fact that an elderly man literally blows up isn't as funny as the movie makes it seem. The boys get a lot of scrapes from roughing it, as do the dads trailing after them (cars crash, kids fall, and there are a lot of bruises to go around), but it's all played for laughs.
- Language
- Frequent strong language includes "f--k," "motherf--ker," "s--t," "a--hole," "p---y," "d--k," "jackass," and a lot of other insults hurled Randy's way.
- Social Behavior
- Amid all the crass humor are hints of messages about honoring your parents and sticking to something you commit to even when it's tough.
- Consumerism
- Video games, cars and televisions, as well as a bunch of recognizable minivans (Hondas, Toyotas, Chryslers), are seen.
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- Adults drink and smoke on a regular basis.
Legend
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it
