Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this fairly predictable holiday comedy includes some pratfalls and suggestive language and behavior -- especially on the part of the "bad" father. You can also expect ongoing deceptions and lies (between parents and children, boyfriend and girlfriend), some romantic kissing, a few cleavage shots, and some language ("damn," one use of "s--t," and sexual insinuations like "get busy").

Sexual Content

Some language ("bootylicious"); a couple of scenes feature women with cleavage. Gentle kissing between central couple.

Violence

Cartoon credits show slapstick violence ("devilish" character pulls pranks on "angelic character using a saw and hammer, causing comic electrocution by Christmas lights, etc.). Jamal pretends to be a bounty hunter and stops a purse snatcher. Someone jokes that "Santa died." In a sort-of tense scene, a child almost falls from a tall Christmas tree.

Language

One use each of "damn" and "s--t," plus some sexual slang ("get busy" and "hook up").

Social Behavior

Throughout the film, Bah Humbug dupes and comically abuses Mrs. Christmas. Repeated family tensions between divorced parents and between disappointing dad and his ever-hopeful kids. Ongoing deceits, mistaken identities, and tricks.

Consumerism

Visual and verbal references to Starbucks, Google, Sugar Pops, Enyce.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
