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.

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.

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